Project modules
MC96
A thermal experimentation has been the only experimentation done on the MC96 module.
Thermal experimentations results
Has no prototype has been built yet, the only results available are the ones from simulations.
Simulation Results
Some simulation has been done on earlier designs, but none of the final design, due to the complexity of simulating heat pipes. Thus, these results are not finals and will surely improve with the addition of the heat pipes between the Peltier elements and the 96-well aluminium mold.
The following figures represent the repartition of heat at the beginning and the end of a heating speed test:
MC96 Heating speed test image
The final temperature has been achieved in 70 seconds.
The following figures represent the repartition of heat at the beginning and the end of a cooling speed test:
MC96 Cooling speed test image
The final temperature has been achieved in 135 seconds.
