The purpose of this paper is to investigate the cooling and heating performance of a standalone-type thermoelectric system equipped with a thermoelectric module. The system consists of a blower and two thermoelectric modules with a fin, which is soldered onto both sides of the thermoelectric module and a courtesy light. The thermoelectric system experiment is conducted with the intake voltage to find the optimum cooling and heating performance of each. The results showed that the cooling capacity and coefficient of performance (COP) were 22 W and 0.31, and the heating capacity and COP were 147 W and 1.1, respectively. In the vehicle cooling and heating performance test in a climate wind tunnel, the results showed that the standalone thermoelectric system's cooling performance was slightly better than the base system; and the heating performance of the standalone thermoelectric system was $54.1^{\circ}C$ and the COP was 1.3, compared to the base system.

This study deals with fluid flow and heat transfer around a module cooled by forced air flow generated by a piezoelectric(PZT) fan in an enclosure. The fluid flows were generated by a flexible PZT fan which deflects inside a fluid transport system of comparatively simple structure mounted on a PCB in an enclosure($270\times260\times90mm^3$). Input voltages of 30V and 40V, and a resonance frequency of 28Hz were used to vibrate the cooling fan. Input power to the module was 4W. The height in an enclosure was changed 23$\sim$43mm. The fluid flow around the module was visualized by using PIV system. The temperature distributions around a heated module were visualized by using liquid crystal film. As the height in an enclosure and the input voltage of PZT fan increased, the cooling effect of module using a PZT fan increased. We found that the flow type was T- or Y-shape and the cooling effect was increased by the wake generated by a PZT fan.

Thermal performance of an impinging cooling module for 150 W class high power LEDs have been investigated numerically and experimentally. Parametric studies were performed to compare the effect of several design parameters such as nozzle number, nozzle spacing, coolant flow rate, and impinging distance. The experiments were also carried out in order to validate the numerical results and the comparison between the experimental and numerical results showed good agreement. It is found that the overall thermal resistance of impinging cooling module strongly depends on the nozzle number, nozzle spacing, flow rate, and impinging distance. This results showed the optimized operating condition when number of nozzles is 25, nozzles spacing is 4mm, flow rate is 2.70 lpm, distance between nozzles and impinging surface is 2 mm.

This paper presents a cooling system using thermoelectron for improving the output of BIPV module. The temperature characteristic in regard to improving the output of BIPV system has rarely been studied up to now but some researchers only presented the method using a ventilator. The cooling system efficiency of BIPV module applied to a ventilator mainly depends on the weather such as wind, insolation etc. Because the cooling system of BIPV module using a ventilator is so sensitive, that is being set off by wind speed at all time but is unable to operate in the NOCT(Nominal Operating Cell Temperature) which is able to make the maximum output The paper presents the cooling system using thermoelectron so as to solve such problems. The temperature control of thermoelectron can be controlled independently in the outside environment because that is performed by micro-controller. The temperature control of thermoelectron, also, can be operated around NOCT through algorism of the temperature control. Therefore, outputs of the whole system increase and the efficiency rises. The paper demonstrates the validity of proposed method by comparing the data obtained through a experiment of the cooling method of BIPV using a ventilator and proposed thermoelectron.

Li-ion battery system is regarded as one of the most potent power sources for electrified power-trains. For the Li-ion battery system to be widely adopted in automotive applications, the performance, safety, and cycle life issues need to be properly addressed. These issues are closely related to the thermal management of battery system. Especially, the effective cooling module design is the core part for the novel battery thermal management system development. In this paper, an experimental approach was carried out as a basic part of comprehensive battery thermal management research. The main goal of this paper is to present a comparison of two cooling systems (air cooling and phase change material (PCM) based cooling) of the unit 18650 battery module. The temperature rise with different battery discharge rate (c-rate) was mainly investigated and analyzed for two types of battery cooling systems. It is expected that this study can properly contribute to providing basic insights into the design of robust battery thermal management system for vehicular applications.

In general, the operating temperature of electronic equipment is closely related to product life and reliability, and it is recognized that effectively cooling the parts is an important problem. In this paper, an experimental study on the cooling characteristic according to the pin array of the heat sink is conducted. The experiment on the heat sink was based on the natural convection and temperature distribution changes. The experimental results indicate that the pin array of the heat sink has an effect on the thermoelectric module's cooling characteristic.

The purpose of this study is to manufacture and test a thermoelectric generator which converts unused energy from close-at-hand sources, such as garbage incineration heat and industrial exhaust, to electricity. A manufacturing process and the properties of a thermoelectric generator are discussed before simulating the thermal stress and thermal properties of a thermoelectric module located between an aluminum tube and alumina plate. We can design the thermoelectric modules having the good properties of thermoelectric generation. Resistivity of thermoelectric module for thermoelectric generation consisting of 62 cells was 0.15-0.4$\Omega$ Developed thermoelectric modules can be expected th have better properties than thermoelectric cooling modules above $70^{\circ}C$ in temperature difference between hot and cold ends.

Thermal analysis of a cooling module using Peltier elements are performed using a commercial software, CFD-ACE+. A standard k-e two-equation turbulent model is applied in order to represent the turbulent shear stress. Computed values are compared with the theoretical values for the validation. The effect of mass flow rates and transferred heat amounts on the temperature distributions inside the cooling system is analyzed. It was found that the increase in the mass flow rates causes the exit temperature rise. The increase in the absorbed heat amount diminished the overall temperature on the fin surfaces. In the present analysis, the material characteristics of the Peltier element itself are not considered. In the future, the effect of the turbulence models and material characteristics will be studied in detail.
