Explanation:
- All our Peltier Controller devices support multiple sensors like thermistors (NTC), thermocouples (K-type) or RTDs (PT100 and PT1000), offering you diverse options for precise temperature measurement and control.
- The "Typical cooling power" of a Peltier Controller device corresponds to the cooling capacity of a typical system that uses the full electrical power of the controller. However, this value can vary greatly depending on the system. Read more about this topic here.
- Almost all our Peltier Controller devices are available as single- and dual-channel models. Dual-channel models have two full-fledged channels, i.e. they offer twice the full power.
