Application example

R&D informations

Research to improve energy efficiency

As a leading manufacturer of thermo-electric modules, Ferrotec conducts research and development for improving their energy efficiency.

Research into TEG products

We are working on the development of "power generation modules" based on the Seebeck effect (converting a temperature difference into electric power) by utilizing the characteristics of thermo-electric modules.

Product development

We develop products that meet our customers' needs to add new products to our lineup.

Cooling unit development

We are working actively on the development of fluorocarbon-free cooling units using thermo-electric modules. We can also manufacture customized cooling units.

Application product development

Developing an air-cooled circulator.
