본 연구에서는 태양광소자와 열전소자로 이루어진 에너지 융합 발전소자에 쿨링패치를 적용하고 에너지 융합 발전소자의 성능을 조사하였다. 쿨링패치를 열전소자의 뒷면에 부착하였을 때, 에너지 융합 발전소자의 상층에 위치한 태양광소자의 온도가 저하되고 열전소자 양단의 온도차는 증가되었다. 태양광 복사 조도를 200 W/m²부터 1000 W/m²까지 증가시키면서 에너지 융합 발전소자의 성능을 측정해본 결과, 쿨링패치는 태양광의 조도가 증가할수록 에너지 융합 발전소자의 성능 향상에 효과적이었고 1000 W/m²에서는 42.1 mW까지 융합소자의 최대 출력 전력이 증가하였다. 본 연구에서는 쿨링패치를 에너지 융합 발전소자에 부착함으로써 에너지 융합 발전소자의 출력 전력이 27% 이상으로 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

Thermoelectric (TE) technology is becoming increasingly important in applications of solid-state cooling and renewable energy sources. $Bi_2Te_3$-based TE materials are widely used in small-scale cooling and temperature control applications; however, higher levels of TE performance are required for new applications such as large-scale cooling (e.g., domestic refrigerators or air conditioners) and for highly efficient power generation system. Recently, the TE performance of $Bi_2Te_3$-based materials has been remarkably enhanced by the introduction of nanostructuring technologies which can be used to prepare TE raw materials. Because it takes into account the theoretical and experimental characteristics, nanostructuring has been shown to be one of the most promising ways to realize the simultaneous control of the electronic and thermal transport properties. In this review, emphasis is placed on bulk-type nanostructured $Bi_2Te_3$-based TE materials. Nanostructuring technologies for enhanced TE performance are summarized, and a few important strategies are presented.

The steady three-dimensional numerical analysis on the thermal flow using standard k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model was carried out to investigate the air cooling effect of a cooler on the cabin for a commercial vehicle. Here, the heat exchanging method of this cabin cooler uses the cooling effect of a thermoelectric module. In consequence, the air system resistance of a cooler within the cabin is about 12.1 Pa as a static pressure, and then the operating point of a virtual cross-flow fan considering in this study is formed in the comparatively low flowrate region. The discharging air temperature of a cooler is about $14{\sim}15^{\circ}C$. Moreover, the air cooling temperature difference obtained under the outdoor cabin temperature of $40^{\circ}C$ shows about $7{\sim}9^{\circ}C$ in a driver resting space and about $9{\sim}14^{\circ}C$ in the front of a driver's seat including the space of a driver's foot.

The steady three-dimensional computational thermal flow analysis using standard k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model was carried out to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of a cabin cooler for a commercial vehicle. The heat exchanging method of this cabin cooler is to use the cooling effect of a thermoelectric module. In view of the results so far achieved, the air system resistance of a cabin cooler is about 12.4 Pa as a static pressure, and then the operating point of a cross-flow fan considering in this study is formed in the comparatively low flowrate region. The air temperature difference obtained from the cold part of an thermoelectric module is about $26^{\circ}C$, and the cooling water temperature difference obtained from the hot part of an thermoelectric module is about $3.5^{\circ}C$.

A new progressive advanced approach (Loop thermosyphon Thermoelectric Power generation System) is suggested to optimize heat recovery ability from vehicle exhaust gas. As an initial look at device feasibility, the present new TE system adopted the loop thermosyphon as a cooling heat exchanger. The TE system with loop thermosyphon was investigated in terms of working fluids, instability of system, amount of working fluid, and so on. Basically, the present experimental works have been focused on finding the optimum working condition of the system to improve thermoelectric power output and to obtain stable power generation to operate hybrid vehicles. The present experimental results with the loop thermosyphon TE module shows possibilities as an improved TE system for future thermoelectric hybrid vehicles.

In case of attaching thermoelectric module and heat source, the polymer sheet is attached on the $Al_2O_3$ plate, which is cooling side of thermoelectric module, in order to enhance mechanical safety of the system. It is impossible to calculate the exact distribution of temperature and flow pattern of inner gap of thermoelectric module. Therefore CFD analyses was executed to determine the thermo-fluid phenomena and distribution by Fluent. As the result of these analyses, heat transfer was dominated by conduction and the difference of temperature was linear distribution according to the thickness of polymer sheet.

In this study, fundamental research was conducted on the development of an adsorption-desorption ventilation system incorporating thermoelectric elements to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy efficiency. The experiment was conducted using a thermoelectric module and silica gel as a commonly used adsorbent to evaluate the cooling and heating effects during the adsorption and desorption process. The main experimental results show that applying 3W power to the thermoelectric module reduces the outlet air temperature and improves the adsorption efficiency, while excessive power (4-5W) reduces the adsorption efficiency due to increased heat load. Additionally, when the flow rate on the adsorption side is increased, the completion time decreases. On the other hand, if the flow rate on the desorption side is increased, the completion time is also shortened. It was confirmed that as the flow rate increases, the movement of heat and moisture generated during the adsorption and desorption process becomes faster, and the reaction progresses more quickly.
