Kyocera Introduces Cutting-Edge Peltier Module with 21% Increase in Cooling Performance
10 July 2024 - 6:05PM
Business Wire
Kyocera Corporation (President: Hideo Tanimoto, hereinafter:
Kyocera)(TOKYO:6971) today introduced a new Peltier
(thermoelectric) module with improved heat absorption. This new
Peltier module has a maximum heat absorption rate*1 21% higher than
Kyocera’s conventional products, enabling dramatically enhanced
cooling performance. Kyocera’s Peltier modules are primarily used
for temperature control of automotive batteries and seats, and this
improvement in cooling performance will contribute to battery
longevity. As of June 2024, we have shipped a total of 32 million
units for automotive applications, and we will continue to supply
components that support the growth of the automotive industry.

*1 Maximum Heat Absorption (Qcmax) refers to the amount of heat
absorbed by the Peltier module when operated at maximum current. It
is defined as the temperature difference between both ends of the
thermoelectric semiconductor being 0°C.
About Peltier Modules
A Peltier module is an energy conversion device with
semiconductor elements sandwiched between copper substrates. When
electricity passes through, one side of the substrate absorbs heat
(cooling), while the other side releases heat (heating). This
allows for rapid changes in surface temperature between heating and
cooling, as well as the ability to adjust or maintain a specific
temperature.
Features of Kyocera's Peltier Module
- High Heat Absorption Kyocera's Peltier modules stand out
due to their unique element technology (single crystal growth
technology), which enables high heat absorption. Advances in this
technology enable the maximum heat absorption capacity*1 to rise
21% compared to Kyocera’s conventional products. Our new Peltier
module can absorb heat more efficiently, thereby enhancing cooling
performance.
- High Responsiveness Faster heating and cooling, in
combination with a copper plate that provides high thermal
conductivity, allow more rapid temperature-control response.
- High Reliability At Kyocera, we prioritize the
reliability of our Peltier modules. We coat the element sides with
resin to protect them from corrosion due to condensation. Moreover,
the entire process, from development to manufacturing and shipping,
is handled at our own Japan-based facilities, guaranteeing the
highest quality control standards and instilling confidence in our
customers.
- Customizable Our Peltier module is highly customizable
with temperature-sensing thermistors and/or heat dissipation fins.
We can also accommodate size adjustments to match the customer's
application and casing requirements, providing a versatile solution
for a wide range of automotive and other temperature control
needs.
