The field of thermo-electric coolers (TEC) has grown drastically in recent years. In an extreme environment such as thermal energy and gas drilling operations, TEC is an effective cooling mechanism for instruments. Nevertheless, limitations such as the relatively low energy conversion efficiency and...
