Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a Peltier system and how does it work?

  A Peltier system uses the Peltier effect to create a heat flux between the junction of two different materials. In water Peltier systems, this effect is used to precisely heat or cool a circulating fluid, providing stable temperature control for external applications.
