Point-of-Use Thermoelectric Chiller Applications

Point-of-Use Thermoelectric Chiller Applications

In the mid-1990s, prior to joining LAUDA DR. R. WOBSER GMBH & CO. KG, Noah Precision introduced the Point-of-Use (POU) chiller system. Its modular design concept was quickly embraced by Semiconductor IDM's and recognized as a viable alternative to conventional, compressor-based chillers. This remarkable system, offering a small form factor, low Cost-of-Ownership and Dynamic Temperature Control offered process and equipment engineers a new tool to optimize their temperature sensitive processes.

Today, LAUDA-Noah Temperature Control Systems are installed on more than sixty (60) different applications at over fifty (50) wafer fabs, worldwide.
