The illustration shows the schematic diagrams of the three major effects in our thermoelectric field: they are the Seebeck effect, the Peltier effect and the Thomson effect. This time, we are going to explore William Thomson and his great discovery - the Thomson effect.
In the early 19th century in Somme, France, a watchmaker named Jean-Charles Peltier (referred to as Peltier for short) calibrated the scales of countless hours with precise gears. However, when he put down the file and vernier caliper at the age of 30 and instead picked up the prism and the current meter, the intersection of his life path and the history of science was thus born - this former craftsman will be engraved on the milestone of thermoelectric physics as the discoverer of the "Peltier effect".
An apple shattered Newton's thoughts on universal gravitation. Then, who found the key to unlock the world of thermoelectricity? Let's step into the development history of TEC and the world of thermoelectricity.
Installing a temperature controller correctly is crucial for achieving reliable and stable performance in industrial processes.
How to choose the best TEC? Let's first take a look at a model and calculation formula of TEC.
