A Peltier junction is the same as a thermocouple junction, except instead of using heat to generate electric current an electric current is forced through it to move heat. Thus in a heatsink unit one junction (on the hot IC) gets cold removing heat and the other junction (on the heatsink fins) gets very hot. Thus it acts like a electric refrigeration system for the IC.
It has no moving parts (except maybe a fan) like the compressor and coolant in mechanical refrigerators. It is even reversible to make a heater by just reversing the electric current. Portable electric food cooler/heater units are available, these typically plug into a car cigarette lighter outlet.
a peltier
The Peltier's top surface can reach temperatures close to the ambient temperature of the heat sink it is attached to. The cooling capacity of the Peltier device depends on factors like the input power, efficiency, and thermal resistance of the system.
Either a cold plate, used with Peltier, or TEC (Thermo Electric Cooling) or a water block used with water cooling systems.
answer by engr ZOHAIB MUSHTAQ WHEN EMF APPLY AT TWO DIFFERENT ENDS OF METALLIC PLATE HAVING COMBINE JUNCTION HERE ONE END IS HOT AND OTHER END IS COLD THIS EFFECT IS PELTIER EFFECT
To sink the heat.
A Peltier fan uses the Peltier effect to regulate temperature in electronic devices. When an electric current flows through the Peltier device, it creates a temperature difference between its two sides. One side absorbs heat, while the other side releases it, helping to cool the device.
A heat sink works on the principle of thermal transfer. The heat sink transfers heat from the chip to the air, wicking heat away.
Yes! Water is a heat sink.
Probably because it draws/absorbs the heat making the heat "sink" into it
