热电冷却器组件是一种紧凑型设备，可控制多种应用的温度，例如有源光学器件中的激光二极管、医疗和工业仪器中的激光器、电子外壳、医疗诊断和分析仪器中的样本储存室以及各种汽车和电信应用中的电池等。热电冷却器组件具有大约10～400瓦的冷却能力，并且可以通过对流、传导或液体等方式从控制源中去除热量来实现冷却。
与其他冷却技术相比，热电冷却器组件具有多种优势。例如，传统的风扇冷却不会冷却到环境温度以下，并且需要与外部环境进行空气交换。另一方面，热电冷却器组件可以将设备冷却到远低于环境温度，并保护外壳内的电子设备免受外部污染物影响，还可以限制外部环境中的湿气侵入。热电冷却器组件可提供精确的温度控制，在稳态条件下可精确到 0.01˚C 以内。
与传统基于压缩机系统相比的优势:
IT advancements and higher power and performance requirements have increased the amount of heat generated in data centers. To lower operating costs, immersion cooling utilizing heat exchangers has gained in popularity. Providing precise temperature control and bulk heat removal, this is also proved to be a more efficient cooling solution.
Increased server rack density has been greatly impacted by advancements in artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, blockchain, cryptocurrency and the demand for increased computing power and performance requirements. This has contributed to an increase in the amount of heat generated in data centers. Traditional methods of air cooling have fallen short of meeting the thermal management requirements for the latest generation of servers, central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs).
