The  differences  that  make  us  beger  

•  CERAMIC  FREE  modules  –  The  fragile  ceramics  of  tradi)onal  module  

solu)ons  implies  a  considerable  thermal  resistance  preven)ng  de  modules  working  their  best.  

–  The  elimina)on  of  ceramics  of  our  modules  allows  them  working  with  HIGHER  PERFORMANCE,  besides  contribu)ng  to  greater  robustness  against  hits  and  vibra)ons.  

–  Our  technology  can  be  applied  directly  to  customer  solu)ons  without  the  need  of  using  fragile  intermediate  ceramics.  

•  AUTOMATIC  ASSEMBLY  –  Our  innova)ve  automa)c  assembling  

system,  unique  in  the  world,  contrast  with  manual  assembly  of  most  of  the  tradi)onal  manufacturers.  

–  Automa)c  assembly  guarantees  unbeatable  precision  in  the  manufacturing  of  our  skeletons,  with  full  elimina)on  of  human  error,  improving  besides  the  electrical  resistance  of  contacts.  

–  Our  special  automa)c  assembly  characteris)cs  provides  a  higher  performance  and  reliability.  

•  PLUG  &  PLAY  –  Our  thermoelectric  module  goes  out  from  factory  with  appropriate  pressure  libera)ng  the  installer  

from  specialized  knowledge  or  mistakes  in  installa)on  and  reducing  defec)ve  products.  –  The  screw  based  fastening  system  simplifies  both  the  installa)on  and  the  rapid  subs)tu)on  on  

maintenance  tasks.

–  Direct  Conduc+vity  Cooling  

•  We  can  directly  freeze  the  cri)cal  heat  sink,  avoiding  wastes  derived  of  freezing  the  whole  envelop.  

•  Oriented  to  freeze  Electronic  Componentes.  

–  Dwellings  and  Cabins  Air  Condi+oning  

•  Using  our  modular  configura)ons  we  can  air  condi)on  any  cabin  or  dwelling  room.  

•  Efficient  air  purifica)on  with  thermoelectric  assistance.  

•  Our  Enerkit  Thermoelectric  Parament  ®  is  the  solu)on  to  manage  the  thermal  condi)ons  in  a  dwelling  in  a  sustainable  way,  integra)ng  the  thermoelectric  solu)on  in  the  cabinet  wall.    

–  Micro  Genera+on  

•  Solu)ons  for  power  genera)on  with  a  very  small  temperature  gradient.
