The technology
SILYNT is our thermoelectric cooling solution. It cools without a compressor or refrigerant, runs silently and fits into compact product designs.
Exemplary illustration of the technology based on a refrigerated drawer.

Silent operation
How it works
What is active thermoelectric cooling?
The Peltier effect
When current flows through two connected semiconductor materials, one side gets cold and the other gets warm. This is called Peltier effect, the physical basis of SILYNT. No moving parts, no refrigerant, no compressor.
Design
A SILYNT system consists of Peltier elements, a heat exchanger on the cold side and heat dissipation on the hot side. Compact, robust and designed for integration into a wide range of products.
Operation
SILYNT cools without noise, vibration or maintenance intervals. Its service life clearly exceeds that of conventional compressor systems, simply because there is nothing that can wear out.
Performance
SILYNT compared.
Noise level, service life and maintenance compared. Conventional compressors run at 35 to 50 dB, vibrate and need regular maintenance. SILYNT has no running noise, no vibration and no service intervals. In applications with low cooling loads, energy consumption is comparable or lower. In a refrigerated drawer, around 4 W are enough for a temperature difference of 20 K.
Sustainability
Cooling that leaves nothing behind.
SILYNT works without refrigerants. No F-gases and no effort to comply with increasingly strict EU F-gas regulation. With no moving parts, there is less wear, less disposal effort and a longer product life.
Applications
Wherever silence matters.
01
Refrigerated drawer
Because the Peltier elements sit directly inside the almost thermal-bridge-free vacuum body, the drawer cools silently and fits built-in situations where a compressor simply has no room.
03
Boxes
Actively cooled boxes with SILYNT hold their target temperature regardless of pre-cooling and ambient conditions, with no compressor, no noise and minimal energy demand.
01
Minibar
The minibar becomes a silent piece of furniture that no longer disturbs hotel guests and, thanks to low heat ingress, needs only a fraction of the usual energy.
