Abstract:
1. A thermo-electric cooling (TEC) system for cooling of a device, the TEC system comprising: at least first and second heat pumping assemblies, each heat pumping assembly having a heat source from which heat is pumped and a heat drain through which pumped heat is dissipated, said at least first and second heat pumping assemblies being arranged in a cascade relationship having at least one thermal interface between the heat source of the second heat pumping assembly and the heat drain of the first heat pumping assembly, the heat source of the first heat pumping assembly being thermally coupled to an electronic device which is to be cooled by evacuating heat therefrom; and a control unit associated at least with said second heat pumping assembly, and configured and operable for operating said second heat pumping assembly to maintain substantially constant temperature of said thermal interface and for generating an operation scheme specifying the heat pumping rates and respective durations according to which said first heat pumping assembly is operated in order to accurately adjust the temperature of said device.
