Peltier Plate
Peltier Cabinet |
There are many products that are 'temperature critical' and which need testing at a specific non-ambient temperature or range of temperatures to provide reproducible comparative results. Such information is far more relevant than ambient testing alone can ever achieve. When used in conjunction with the TA.XTplus/TA.Hdplus or TA.XT2i 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 such products. The temperature controllers comprise the Peltier Plate or Cabinet coupled to a separate control unit. It 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 water reservoir control unit has a screw cap and the connectors are self sealing for easy transportation. NO water baths or cooling gasses are required. |
The temperature controllers will also interface with the Texture Expert Exceed or Exponent software packages 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.
