MC96
A thermal experimentation has been the only experimentation done on the MC96 module.
Thermal experimentations
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:

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:

Maintaining a temperature below room temperature test results
These are the results obtained by following this protocol. This table illustrates the relation between the voltages applied to the Peltier element and the set temperature of the aluminium mold.
MC1.5 Table Calibration cold
Conclusion- The MC1.5 can reach the client’s low temperature specification of 4℃
- The MC1.5 can reach the client’s temperature stability specification of ±1.5℃
Maintaining a temperature below room temperature test results
These are the results obtained by following this protocol. This table illustrates the relation between the voltages applied to the Peltier element and the set temperature of the aluminium mold.
MC1.5 Table Calibration HOT

Cooling speed test results
These are the results obtained by following this protocol. This figure shows the aluminium mold’s temperature versus time for an applied voltage of 15V.
MC1.5 cooling speed test 15V
This figure shows the aluminium mold’s temperature versus time for an applied voltage of 15.5V.MC1.5 cooling speed test 15.5V
This figure shows the aluminium mold’s temperature versus time for an applied voltage of 16V.MC1.5 cooling speed test 16V
Conclusion- 15.5V is the optimal voltage to apply to obtain the highest cooling speed
- The MC1.5 can reach the client’s specification of a cooling speed of 0.5℃/s
