Thermostat Test Description
The Thermostat Test is used to evaluate the cooling and heating performance of
the two Peltier elements.
The instrument starts the test when the heater temperature is within 5 °C of the
current measured ambient temperature. After the start, the instrument is cooling
down to 4 °C below the starting temperature. The cool-down time is used to
determine the cooling performance. In the next step, the heating performance is
calculated by heating up to the test starting temperature.
