Request InfoAMS Technologies AGMARTINSRIED, Germany, Feb. 25, 2010 – AMS Technologies’ SD-330 and SD-250 compact thermoelectric cooling units are suitable for laser diode modules with footprints from 50 × 100 up to a maximum of 124 × 130 mm in medical and industrial applications. The solid-state devices omit the need for water cooling, reducing fan noise. Cooling capacity is up to 330 W when ambient temperature equals the temperature at the laser mounting plate. Using two 60-mm axial fans, a copper heat sink, six Peltier modules and a copper spreader and mounting plate, the units’ maximum power consumption is 15 A at 24 VDC. ...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra September 2023 IssueLow-Noise Water CoolerThe mRC-C-1000-100/240 low-noise recirculating chiller from AMS Technologies AG features a cooling capacity of 1000 W.
