Can I use thermoelectric cooler for heating?
Yes, thermoelectric coolers can be used for heating in certain applications. In fact, a thermoelectric cooler can be more effective than a resistive heater since it can utilize heat from the ambient temperature in addition to the heat generated from the cooler itself.

What kind of application use thermoelectric cooling technology?
 

• Refrigeration – Applications requiring cooling below ambient temperature
  • Chamber cooling for medical diagnostics
  • Sample storage compartment cooling for analytical instrumentation
• Spot Cooling – Applications requiring cooling of a specific sensitive electronic below worst-case ambient temperature
  • CMOS sensors
  • LiDAR
  • DLP
  • Optical components
     
  • Precise Temperature Control – maintaining stable temperature while surrounding environment temperature changes
    • Industrial laser
    • Medical laser
    • Optical transceivers
  • Heat and Cool – Applications requiring heating and cooling
    • Incubators cooling then heating to body temperature
    • Kiosks cooling or heating of sensitive electronics between two temperature set points
    • Battery backup cooling or heating between two temperature set points.
  • Thermal Cycling
    • DNA amplification for PCR
    • Burning in test sockets

How can I tell that thermoelectric cooling is the most suitable for my application?
Thermoelectric cooling systems are most beneficial in applications with

• Tight space constraints
• Low heat load capacities, typically less than < 400W
• Control temperatures below ambient
• Precise temperature control
• Heating and cooling
