Peltier Controlled Temperature Options

When used in conjunction with the TA.XTplus or TA.HDplus Texture Analyser, the Temperature Controlled Peltier Cabinet (XT/PC) and Temperature Controlled Plate (XT/PP) provide a highly stable and accurate testing environment for many products.

The temperature controllers comprise the Peltier Plate or Cabinet coupled to a separate Peltier Control Unit (PCU). The PCU can be conveniently located so that the required temperature can be easily set and displayed or placed away from the Texture Analyser if space is at a premium. The coolant reservoir in the PCU has a screw cap and the connectors are self sealing for easy transportation. No water baths or cooling gases are required.

The temperature controllers will also interface with the Exponent software package so you can set and record temperature data. In conjunction with the temperature ramp facilities of the PID control unit, this allows some temperature dependent properties to be measured.

XT/PP: Temperature Controlled Peltier Plate

The Peltier Plate provides a stable surface temperature for testing small or thin products such as pressure sensitive adhesives or films. This ensures that temperature effects are either minimised or are able to be accurately investigated.

The surface dimensions are 110mm x 100mm and maximum operating temperature is +80°C to a minimum of 30°C below ambient.
