Thermoelectric module is a device that can produce cooling in a direct manner using the electrical energy. The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of thermoelectric module and cooling system equipped with the thermoelectric module. The performance of a thermoelectric module is estimated using two methods; theoretical analysis based on one-dimensional energy equations and experimental tests using heat source, heat sink and brass conduction extenders. For the thermoelectric cooling system, the temperatures in the chamber are recorded and then compared with those of lumped system analysis. The results show that the cooling capacity and COP of the thermoelectric module increases as the temperature difference between hot and cold surface decreases, and there is particular current at which cooling capacity reaches its maximum value. The experimental results for the thermoelectric cooling system are similar to those of lumped system analysis.

The thermoelectric cooling system consisted of the thermoelectric module, a heat sink and a cooling fan, respectively. Also, the piezoelectric actuator was applied to improve the performance of thermoelectric cooling system and investigate the heat transfer phenomenon. The temperature distribution of test section was measured to investigate cooling characteristics of thermoelectric cooling system. The flow phenomenon of test section was visualized using visualization device. When the piezoelectric actuator was applied to the heat transfer process of thermoelectric cooling system, acoustic streaming was occurred in test section. The acoustic streaming was occurred forced convection flow, and was regularly formed the temperature distribution in test section. The results clearly show that the acoustic streaming is one of the prime effects to enhance the convection heat transfer and can enhance the performance of thermoelectric cooling system.

열전효과란 온도차를 전기적인 크기 즉 전압으로 변환시키는 것을 말한다. 또한 그 반대의 경우도 여기에 해당한다. 연전 소자는 소자의 영면에 온도 차가 존재할 때 전압이 발생하며 반대로 이 소자에 전압을 가할 경우 온도차가 발생하는 소자이다. 본 논문에서는 물질을 냉각과 가열을 할 수 있게 이러한 현상을 이용하여 열전소자를 사용한 냉 온장 시스템을 소개하였으며 PC와 LabVIEW를 이용하여 냉 온장 시스템을 제어하였다.

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.

Cooling technology has been a vital prerequisite for the rapid, if not explosive, growth of the electronic equipment industry. This has been especially true during the last 20 years with the advent of intergrated circuit chips and their applications in computers and related electronic products. The purpose of this study is to develop a telecommunication equipment cooling system using a thermoelectric module combined with cooling fan. Thermoelectric module is a device that can perform cooling only by input of electric power. In the present study, the cooling package using the thermoeletric module has been developed to improve the thermal performance. The cooling characteristics of the electronic chip was placed into the subrack and it can be rapidly assembled or disassembled in the equipment rack. As a preliminary experiment, the cooling performances between a conventional way using a cooling fin and a proposed method applying the thermoelectric module was comosed and analyzyed. The cooling performance at a simulated electronic component packaging a thermomodule operated well.

본 연구에서는 대한민국 해군 함정의 하절기 운용 및 적도지병 파병 간 발생하고 있는 VRTU 과열로 인한 고온경보 발생과 장비정지 발생현상을 해결하기 위하여 해군 군수사령부 함정기술연구소와 공동연구를 수행하였다. 열전소자 냉각장치 설치에 따른 냉각효과를 확인하고, 전산 열 유동해석을 수행하여 VRTU 내부 열 유동특성을 분석하였다. 또 해석을 통해 기관실(디젤엔진룸) 내부의 온도분포를 살펴보고 VRTU 과열방지를 위한 최적의 설치위치를 알아보았다. 분석결과, 냉각장치를 설치함에 따라 VRTU 내부 평균 체적온도가 약 10 ℃ 감소하는 것을 확인하였으며 냉각장치에 설치된 Fan은 열 순환을 원활하게 하여 냉각효과를 높였다. 기관실 내부는 디젤엔진 상부에서 높은 온도분포를 나타냈고 통풍관 디퓨저 하부에서 가장 낮은 온도분포를 보였다. 열전소자 냉각장치는 높은 냉각성능을 나타내었으며, VRTU는 과열방지를 위하여 기관실의 통풍관 디퓨저 하부에 설치하는 것이 적절할 것으로 판단된다.
