Thermotile RefrigeratorsThermoelectric tiles provide cooling exactly where needed. Thermotile is modular thermoelectric cooling unit that incorporates sensor and electronic circuitry in addition to thermoelectric device. Refrigerator/freezer is lined with thermotiles clipped into supporting lattices. Small fans used to circulate air in refrigerator and freezer compartments. Elimination of conventional mechanical refrigeration machinery reduces number of moving parts and completely eliminates noise and vibration. Data capabilities of thermotile refrigeration system used for diagnosis of defects or monitoring local temperatures. Thermotiles produced by automated manufacturing techniques. Custom shapes molded as needed.
