What are its advantages over a compressor-based system?
There are no moving mechanical parts (except fans) so thermoelectric air-to-air exchangers are extremely reliable with an almost unlimited life span and require no maintenance (except possible fan replacement). “Static” construction makes TE exchangers immune to vibration thus allowing them to be used in any orientation and makes them particularly suitable for the application on moving systems including ships, aircraft and robots. A thermoelectric air-to-air exchanger does not contain any polluting substances such as CFC or other gases, has a more compact and simple structure than a compressor system and can be easily adapted and mounted.
