Settings

Peltier cooling units are intended to be used as a complementary accessory to larger industrial equipment. They are used where heat needs to be dissipated from electrical control cabinets or similar enclosures to protect heat sensitive components.
Peltier cooling units can dissipate heat from sealed enclosures such as control cabinets. At the same time, they can reduce the cabinet internal temperature to below the ambient air temperature. They are available in powder-coated sheet steel or stainless steel housings. Peltier units have additional heating function by changing the supply polarity of the thermoelectric elements. This is possible by using a combination of thermostats or having a specific polarity controller.
Peltier air conditioners are resistant to extreme ambient conditions and can operate effectively even in environments which are dusty and oily and where temperatures may vary from -20°C to +65°C. For the cooling capacities and environmental ratings please refer to the type plate data.

Functional principle

The thermoelectric elements create a temperature difference between the internal and ambient heat sinks, making internal air cooler while dissipating heat into the external environment. Fans help the transfer of convective heat from the heat sinks, which are optimized for maximum flow. Peltier units be mounted in any position because these units don’t have a compressor and no moving parts.

Installation
Ensure that flows of air leaving and entering the cooling unit, internal and external, are not obstructed. Before drilling the enclosure, ensure the fixing elements and couplings will not interfere with the equipment inside the enclosure itself. When all mounting preparations are complete the actual mounting operation can commence. Only use the enclosed material to mount the unit on the cabinet.
Proceed as follows to mount the unit on the cabinet

• Set the unit up on the cabinet.
• Ensure that the electrical connection is above the internal fan.
• Unit without duct : screw the M6 locknuts & washers into the M6 set screws in the unit.
• Unit with duct : screw the M6 screws & washers into the M6 threaded rivets in the unit. The resistance of the earth connection between cabinet and cooling unit must be <0.1Ω.

Condensate management
Depending on the mounting situation the condensation management may need to be considered and possibly adjusted.

Mounting Principle
In order to maintain the TYPE 4X rating, the tightening torque for this unit should be 4.5 Nm and needs to follow the below sequence.

Taking into Operation

The power supply rating on the rating plate must comply with mains supply
Always disconnect the power supply before opening the unit.
Heat load to be dissipated from enclosure should not exceed specific cooling output of the unit at any condition. While selecting a cooling unit always cater for a safety margin of at least 15% extra cooling output.

The Peltie r – elements should be controlled by a suitable thermostat. Models TG 6XXX with 100 – 230 V supply have already a controller integrated.

Trouble Shooting

In case of a fault please contact your nearest servicing office. A list of service partners can be found on our website www.seifertsystems.com

Maintenance & Cleaning

Always switch off power supply before starting any work on the unit. Only qualified personal may conduct any maintenance work on the cooling unit.
All Peltier units are virtually maintenance-free and no filters which need to be cleaned or replaced. Check the ambient heat sinks from time to time. In case they are dirty proceed as following

• Disconnect the enclosure from the mains.
• Clean the heat sink profile as required by blowing it out with compressed air.
• In cases of extreme pollution wet cleaning is required.

The unit must be removed from the control cabinet for wet cleaning

Should a wet cleaning be necessary proceed as following

• Disconnect the whole plant from the mains.
• Remove the unit from the cabinet.
• Ensure that the seals are not damaged.
• Wash the heat sink with an environmentally safe cleaning fluid.

Danger to the environment through unauthorized disposal.

Disposal
Dispose of cooling unit and used parts with due regard for the environment and in accordance with environmental laws and regulations.

Maintenance

Note: Only use original replacement parts when repairing the unit. This ensures that the unit functions perfectly and remains safe.

Fan replacemen t: The average working life of the fan is ca. 40,000 hours under normal conditions. Should a fan replacement be necessary proceed as following

• Disconnect the unit from the mains.
• Remove the unit cover.
• Remove the screws from the relevant fan.
• Mount a new fan.

Damage to the unit through incorrect work.
Make sure that the cabinet fan or the ambient fan are not misplaced in the unit as they are different. Ensure that the correct polarity is maintained.

• Replace the 4 fan fixing screws.
• Close the unit and take it back into operation.

Transport & Storage
During transport and storage, the cooling unit must be kept in the position marked on the box and at a temperature between -40˚C and 70˚C and a relative humidity of max. 95% (at 25°C). In case of damaged packaging after transport or in-house handling, we recommend controlling the unit for any internal damages.
