What are the primary services and products that BSST
offers?
BSST works closely with each of its customers to provide integrated
designs, thermoelectric-enabled subassemblies, and stand-alone
devices that provide comprehensive and cost-effective temperature
control solutions that fit specific application requirements or
problems.
What advantage does BSST offer?
BSST’s greatest advantage is its patented world-leading
advanced thermoelectric technology. The high level of thermoelectric
performance achievable with BSST technology allows temperature
control device designs that are smaller, cheaper, and consume
less power than those developed with standard thermoelectrics,
and other technologies. Additionally, in selected application
situations, only BSST's advanced thermoelectrics are able to provide
an enabling solution, where the performance of standard thermoelectrics
is not sufficient to meet requirements.
How is BSST different from many thermoelectric companies?
BSST is a provider of advanced temperature control (cooling, heating,
stabilizing) designs and custom devices. BSST is not a manufacturer
of basic thermoelectric modules or material. BSST draws on the
best and most appropriate thermoelectric modules, components and
materials from around the world to combine with its advanced thermodynamic
cycle and device designs for its leading edge solutions. BSST
strives to provide the most effective temperature control solutions
possible, focusing its energies on advancing and applying its
own technology while adapting and integrating into its designs
leading edge thermoelectric advances from all sources that are
complementary to its technology.
What are the primary advantages of BSST’s advanced
technology compared to standard thermoelectrics?
Advantages include:
• Factor of 2 efficiency increase
• Almost double the change in temperature achievable
• Factor of 4 to 6 increase in power density
• Reduced system weight, size, and cost
What are some of the application segments in which BSST’s
technology
can be effectively applied?
The primary function being performed regardless of application
segment is that of a very efficient solid-state heat pump. Examples
of application segments where this function can be effectively
applied include:
• Automotive
• HVAC
• Industrial electronics
• Computers
• Medical
• Telecommunications
• Aerospace
• Military
• Consumer
How do I work with BSST to take advantage of its technology?
BSST works most effectively with its customers in a joint problem
solving or product development mode. With your expert understanding
of your application area and BSST's expertise in assessing temperature
control requirements, BSST will work with you to establish the
temperature control dimensions of your situation. This will allow
the full requirements of a temperature control solution to be
defined, and BSST will assess to what extent it can provide an
effective solution. At this point, you and BSST will determine
how to proceed from a business and technical standpoint.
What is BSST’s industrial base of experience?
BSST, in conjunction with its parent company, Amerigon Incorporated,
is the largest purchaser of thermoelectric components in the world.
In addition, Amerigon supplies more thermoelectric systems to
the automotive industry than any other company in the world. BSST
has a staff of well qualified technologists experienced with thermoelectrics,
heat transfer, fluid mechanics, numerical modeling and CAD tools.
In addition, it has management and staff personnel very experienced
with high-quality, high-volume start-up and manufacturing.
