摘要:
An example electronic device may include a chassis, a circuit board in the chassis that includes a first active component, a number of fans, a number of guide walls that define an air inlet channel, and a thermoelectric cooler (TEC). There may be an airflow path such that, when the fans operate, air flows along the airflow path from an intake opening of the air inlet channel to an exhaust of the chassis, with the first active component being located in the airflow path downstream of the intake opening of the air inlet channel. A cold portion of the TEC may extend into the airflow path upstream of the first active component and a hot portion of the TEC may extend into the airflow path downstream of the first active component.

Thermal control devices adapted to provide improved control and efficiency in temperature cycling are provided herein. Such thermal control device can include a thermoelectric cooler controlled in coordination with another thermal manipulation device to control an opposing face of the thermoelectric cooler and/or a microenvironment. Some such thermal control devices include a first and second thermoelectric cooler separated by a thermal capacitor. The thermal control devices can be configured in a planar configuration with a means for thermally coupling with a planar reaction vessel of a sample analyzer for use in thermal cycling in a polymerase chain reaction of the fluid sample in the reaction vessel. Methods of thermal cycling using such a thermal control devices are also provided.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to controlling multiple Thermoelectric Coolers (TECs) to maintain a set point temperature of a chamber. In one embodiment, a controller receives temperature data corresponding to a temperature of the chamber. Based on the temperature data, the controller selectively controls two or more subsets of the TECs to maintain the temperature of the chamber at a desired set point temperature. In this manner, the controller is enabled to control the TECs such that the TECs operate to efficiently maintain the temperature of the chamber at the set point temperature. In another embodiment, the controller selects one or more control schemes enabled by the controller based on temperature data and a desired performance profile. The controller then independently controls one or more subsets of the TECs according to the selected control scheme(s).
