Temperature range:
Typical working range:
-40 – 180°C
-30 – 150°C
Advantages:
- Fast, i.e. large heating and
cooling rates
- Easy to operate
- Small design possible
- Inexpensive
Disadvantages:
- Counter cooling needed
- Aging effects at high temperatures (>150°C)
PTD – Peltier Temperature Device
The PTD consisting of bottom plate and hood
is an intelligent temperature control system based on
 Conduction heating = bottom plate
 Combined radiation and convection heating = Peltier hood
 MCR integrated control boards
for a direct temperature control (no external boxes)
 ToolmasterTM configured
Radiation Heating
Forced Convection Heating
Conduction Heating
Forced convection heating can be used in combination with
N2 gas to create a frost free, dry environment
