Default Problems using TEC in Floefd

Hi,
I need to run an analysis that includes a TEC that is responsible for a heat-cool cycle. The TEC initial condition is that the temperature difference between the cold and the hot side is 0 (both at ambient). It then has to heat a component to a designated temperature and after a curtain time - cool it back to ambient temperature again.
I seem to have an inconsistency between the analysis and some tests I ran: The TEC in the Floefd seems to heat up much faster and to significantly higher temperatures than it does when I measure the real TEC. It heats up out of its spec.
Could it be that the TEC in the Floefd is not modeled for this operation mode?
I would be grateful for any help.

Thanks.
