Thermoelectric cooling technology.

Author(s) : MATHIPRAKASAM B.

Summary

The well-known theory of the Peltier effect, which produces cold through thermoelectricity, is presented. The constitution and composition of a thermoelectric module are described, along with their performances. The practical applications pertain to very specific areas: measuring devices, electronics, spatial and medical applications. Unless spectacular advances occur in new-component thermoelectric performance, large-scale commercial development is not likely for this system, although the construction of an air conditioner of about 1 kilowatt has already been achieved, but at high cost.
