Testing and Validation
Rigorous testing of TEC components to ensure they meet the required cooling performance and other requirements.
Performance Testing: Includes thermal performance testing (measuring the temperature of the target object and the hot and cold sides of the thermoelectric cooling component), electrical performance testing (measuring its current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and resistance), mechanical performance testing (evaluating its mechanical stability and reliability under various conditions such as thermal cycling and vibration to ensure that the thermoelectric cooling component can withstand harsh application environments), and environmental performance testing (placing it under various environmental conditions such as extreme temperature and humidity to test its environmental performance. This helps to ensure that the thermoelectric cooling component can operate reliably in different environmental conditions).
Reliability Testing: Includes testing the reliability and lifespan of thermoelectric components, including long-term stability testing, durability testing, and thermal cycling testing. These tests evaluate the lifespan and reliability of the thermoelectric component to ensure its reliability in practical applications.
Compliance Testing: Includes compliance with three standards: US military standard: MIL-SDT-883E, communication industry standard: Telcordia GR-468, and temperature cycling test standard.
Operation Testing: Involves checking for faults in thermoelectric components, such as open circuits, short circuits, poor contact, etc.
Durability Testing: Involves lifespan testing to evaluate its long-term performance and reliability.
