Tutorial: How to use Peltier Cell Module TEC1-12706

The Peltier cell module TEC1-12706 is a thermoelectric component that can transform electrical energy into temperature difference. It is ideal for beginner and intermediate makers who want to explore heating or cooling projects.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• Current regulated power supply (12V6A)
• Digital thermometer
• Thermal conductor

Steps

1. Connect the Peltier module to the power circuit by providing the required voltage (check the datasheet).
2. Use a thermal conductor to improve the efficiency of heat transfer.
3. Adjust the power supply current so as not to exceed the maximum limits of the Peltier cell (check the datasheet).
4. If necessary, connect a temperature sensor to monitor thermal variations.
5. Use the Arduino to control the current supplied to the Peltier module through a relay or MOSFET.
6. Try to alter the current flow to see how it changes the heating or cooling of the module.

Example code

void setup() {
 // Inizializza i pin digitali
}

void loop() {
 // Alterna la corrente al modulo Peltier
}

Mini project

Create a cooling system for a small integrated circuit using the Peltier module and control it with Arduino. Set the Arduino to automatically regulate the temperature.

Common mistakes

• Exceed the maximum current or voltage limits of the Peltier module.
• Do not use an adequate thermal conductor, thus reducing the efficiency of heating/cooling.
• Ignore heat dissipation during the cooling process.
• Connect the Peltier module incorrectly relative to the desired flow (heating or cooling).

Recommended accessories

• Current regulated power supply
• Thermal conductor
• Temperature sensor
• Relay or MOSFET for current control
