This paper has presented the characteristics of thermoelectric devices and the plots of thermoelectric cooling and heating as a function of currents for different temperatures. The maximum cooling and heating(.DELTA.T) for (BiSb)$\_$2/Te$\_$3/ and Bi$\_$2/(TeSe)$\_$3/ as a function of currents is about 75.deg. C, A solderable ceramic insulated thermoelectric module. Each module contains 31 thermoelectric devices. Thermoelectric material is a quaternary alloy of bismuth, tellurium, selenium, and antimony with small amounts of suitable dopants, carefully processed to produce an oriented polycrystalline ingot with superior anisotropic thermoelectric properties. Metallized ceramic plates afford maximum electrical insulation and thermal conduction. Operating temperature range is from -156.deg. C to +104.deg. C. The amount of Peltier cooling is directly proportional to the current through the sample, and the temperature gradient at the thermoelectric materials junctions will depend on the system geometry.

n형 Bi-Te 박막과 p형 Bi-Sb-Te 박막을 전기도금법으로 형성하여 열전특성을 측정하였으며, Bi-Te 나노와이어와 Bi-Sb-Te 나노와이어의 전기도금 성장거동을 분석하였다. 알루미나 템프레이트의 200nm 직경의 나노기공 내에 전기도금으로 Bi-Te 나노와이어와 Bi-Sb-Te 나노와이어를 형성시 각기 81%와 77%의 filling 비를 나타내었다. 알루미나 템프레이트에 Bi-Te 나노와이어와 Bi-Sb-Te 나노와이어를 순차적으로 전기도금하여 열전소자를 구성하였으며, Bi-Te 나노와이어 부위의 Ni 전극과 Bi-Sb-Te 나노와이어 부위의 Ni 전극 사이에서 $15{\Omega}$의 저항이 측정되었다.

In case of attaching thermoelectric module and heat source, the polymer sheet is attached on the $AL_{2}O_3$ plate, which Is cold and hot side of thermoelectric module, in order to enhance mechanical safty of the system. It is impossible to calculate the exact distribution of temperature and flow pattern of inner gap of thermoelectric module. Therefore CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis was executed to determine the thermo-fluid phenomena and distribution by Fluent. As the result of these analysis, heat transfer was dominated by conduction and the difference of temperature was linear distribution according to the thickness of polymer sheet.

A thermoelectric module can be used for cooling or power generation. The basic requirements to achieve a significant thermoelectric performance are the same for both generators and coolers. Thermoelectric modules with $Bi_2Te_3$ materials are usually employed in the cooling applications below room temperature but it can also be used for the power generation in the similar temperature range. In the present study, the power generation with a $Bi_2Te_3$ thermoelectric module has been investigated. The temperature difference between the hot and cold sides of the module is maintained with electric heater and cold water from the circulating water bath. The result shows that the electric current generated increases with temperature difference and decreases with the load resistance. However, the voltage increases with both the temperature difference and load resistance. The electric power increases with temperature difference and it has the maximum value when the load resistance is about 4 ${\Omega}$ for a given device.

Recently the research for utilization of waste heat produced from electric power plants, casting factories, heat treating factories or commercial are being afforded by the need for energy saving. The objective of this study is to develop a thermoelectric generation system which unused energy from close-at-hand sources such as garbage incineration heat and industrial exhaust etc. into electricity. This paper a thermoelectric technology on a optimum system design method and efficiency and cost effective thermoelectric element on order to extract the maximum power output from energy conversion of waste energy. It is shown that the longitudinal stresses of module contacted with two point constrained Al tubes could be released more than those with a one-point constrained.

[ $Bi_{0.5}Sb_{1.5}Te_{3}/Bi_{2}Te_{2.4}Se_{0.6}$ ]계 박막형 열전발전 소자에 의해 volt 단위의 비교적 고전압에서 microwatt 수준의 출력을 발생시킬 수 있었다. 최대 출력은 온도차와 2차 함수적인 관계가 있었고, 주어진 온도차에서 판형 모듈의 적층수에 비례하여 증가하였다. 판형 모듈의 적층수와 직렬/병렬 연결 조합의 변화에 의해 출력 전압과 전류를 조절할 수 있었다. 온도차에 대한 개회로 전압과 폐회로 전류의 변화는 직선성을 보였다. 개회로 전압은 직렬 연결의 경우 판형 모듈의 수에 의존하였지만, 병렬 연결의 경우에는 의존하지 않았다. 반면, 폐회로 전류는 직렬연결의 경우 판형 모듈의 적층수와 무관하게 일정한 값을 나타내었고, 병렬 연결의 경우 판형 모듈의 적층수에 비례하여 증가하였다.
