TEC(Thermoelectric conversion) is direct conversion method between thermal energy and electric energy. We studied on the mechanical, electrical and thermal properties of thermoelectric module, made experimental thermoelectric generator with BiTe material and manufactured module tester for electric-thermal energy conversion.

A small air conditioner using thermoelectric module has been designed and built. Three types of cooling methods, such as air cooling, closed-loop water cooling, and evaporative cooling, for hot side of thermoelectric module have been investigated. Among three types of cooling method, the evaporative cooling method is seen to be the most effective to achieve the steady state operation of a thermoelectric air conditioner The system performance with evaporative cooling method are also studied in detail for several oprating parameters, such as input power to the thermoelectric module, water or air flow rate at the hot side, and air flow rate at the cold side. The results obtained indicate that the cooling capacity of a system is increased with an increase in the input power to the thermoelectric module while the system COP is decreased. It is also found that the optimal air flow rate as well as water flow rate at the hot side is needed for the best system performance at a liven operating condition. Both the system COP and cooling capacity are increased as the air flow rate at cold side is increased.

In this study, we fabricated a thermoelectric module made of nanoparticles (NPs) and glass fibers investigated its thermoelectric characteristics. P-type HgTe and n-type HgSe NPs synthesized by colloidal method were used as thermoelectric materials and glass fibers were used as spacers between the hot and cold electrodes of the thermoelectric module. In the module, the average Seebeck coefficients of the HgTe and HgSe NPs were 1260 and $-628{\mu}V/K$, respectively. The p-n module generated about a voltage of 11.9 mV and showed a power density of $1.6{\times}10^{-5}{\mu}W/cm^2$ at a temperature difference of 7.5 K.

An experimental study has been carried out on cooling perfonnance of a thennoelectric module. This problem is of particular interest in the design of the refrigeration systems using thermoelectric module, such as cosmetic refrigerator, wine cellar and air cooler. The effect of the input voltage and the hot side temperature on the cooling performance is studied in detail. The $\Delta$T, temperature difference between cold side and hot side surface of thermoelectric module, is described in terms of the input voltage and the hot side temperature. It is found that the cooling capacity can be improved by increasing the input voltage and by reducing the heat from the hot side of the thermoelectric module. However, COP is decreased with an increase in the input voltage, since power consumption is also increased. Thus, optimum input voltage can be selected based on cooling capacity and COP.

본 논문에서는 습도를 세어하기 위해 습도센서를 사용하여 습도를 측정 제습 입력값과 비례 제어를 위해 범용 $\mu$-processorPIC16C54와 Thermoelectric module을 사용하여 구현하였다. Pottier Module 모델에 따라 크기와 특성이 다양하고 Module의 종류에 따라 그에 따른 적절한 열저항을 유지할 수 있도록 하는 방열판 선택 또한 매우 중요한 설계 요소이다. 열전소자를 사용하여 전자제습기를 구현함으로써 국부공간의 무소음, 무진동, 저에너지 소모에 의한 효과적인 제습을 할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

: A DNA analysis system based on fluorescence analysis has to have a DNA amplifying thermal cycle system. DNA amplification is executed by the temperature control. Accuracy of fluorescence analysis is influenced by the temperature control technology. For that reason, the temperature control is core technology in developing the DNA analysis system. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to develop the hardware to apply thermoelectric module to the DNA amplifying thermal cycle system. In order to verify the developed hardware for controlling the temperature of thermoelectric module, a DNA amplifying thermal cycle test was performed. From the test, the developed hardware controlled the temperature of thermoelectric module successfully. Therefore, it is expected that the developed hardware can be applied to the DNA amplifying thermal cycle system.

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.
