In 1834 Jean Peltier performed experiments passing an electric current through a closed circuit of 2 dissimilar metals. This work demonstrated that heat energy could be absorbed by one dissimilar metal to create a cooling effect, and discharged by the other dissimilar metal to create a heating effect. These experiments were the foundation of modern thermoelectric technology in which a Peltier device allows electricity to flow through material in order for one side to warm, and the other side to cool.Effective thermoelectric cooling provides many benefits for medical-grade refrigeration such as energy efficiency, lack of moving parts, low heat output, and near silent operation, however, thermoelectric cooling devices have had limited use in mainstream medical-grade refrigeration due to high expense and inefficiency.
Medical-grade refrigeration requires superior temperature stability and performance in order to protect medications, vaccines, and critical samples from out of range temperatures. With new advancements in materials and manufacturing processes thermoelectric cooling technology has been proven reliable and effective for compact medical-grade refrigerators.
The innovative Helmer 1.8 cubic foot countertop refrigerator uses AdvanceCore™ thermoelectric cooling technology to deliver superior temperature reliability and uniformity along with the added benefits of energy efficiency, superior serviceability, low heat output, and near silent operation. AdvanceCore™ technology makes this the perfect countertop refrigerator for storing products close to patient and staff work areas.
