Abstract

Thermoelectric modules are assembled to heat conductive plates which may be finned for the treatment of gas flow or bored to enable liquid flow. The assemblies may be used to heat and cool media or spaces by means of various control systems. Passage of a suitable electric current through the modules (36) creates a reduction in temperature on one side and a corresponding increase on the other. The modules are assembled to finned aluminium plates (34,35) with covers (30,31) through which air may be passed for air conditioning purposes. One air stream will be heated and the other cooled. Controlled switching and air flow control shutters may be used to maintain the temperature within a room or equipment enclosure. Thick plates with suitable holes bored through them may replace one or both finned plates for the control of liquid media.

Description

It is known that ventilation systems, especially air conditioning systems, rooms of all kinds. and deaerate, humidify and dehumidify, heat and cool. The standard air conditioner or Ventilation unit, which may consist of fans, heat exchangers Humidifiers, heat recovery, damper controls and sensors (Sensor) exists, and that regulates the temperature and humidity by means of a regulation connected to an air duct system. The heat exchangers installed across the air conditioning unit are flushed with water or water glycol mixture that is thermally enriched. On the one hand, the winding system of the heat exchanger with water turns or water glycol mixture, on the other hand, they are around the pipe system mounted slats flushed with air. Depending on the temperature gradient between the air and the heat exchangers transfer the thermal energy to the air. Fans ensure the air flow through the exchanger and at the same time provide the Fresh air requirement for the rooms safely. The air duct network connected to the air conditioner or units or ventilation devices is connected, on the one hand ensures the ducting of the air, on the other hand, this results in a dosage of the conditioned amount of air for the individual Spaces achieved.

A special feature are chilled ceilings and underfloor heating, whose exchanger in the Ceiling construction or integrated in the ceiling panel or in the screed. Mostly are the heat exchangers, which consist of a widely branched pipe system in the Ceiling construction or in the screed, with water or a water glycol mixture which flushes the thermal energy onto the heat exchanger (s) (for ceilings) or transfers the screed. Depending on the temperature gradient between the air and the heat carriers, such as screed, heat exchangers etc., the thermal energy is transferred to the air. This heating or cooling energy is distributed in the room via the air. The Heat generation through direct conversion of electrical energy with Resistance heat wires, which are almost exclusively embedded in floors, comes less often.

The room is heated and cooled almost exclusively by natural ones Radiation and convection. Air circulation systems are usually installed to support this on the one hand, the fresh air requirement cover, on the other hand, better room purging cause.

WO-A-94/12833 shows a thermal compact device for heating and cooling Media consisting of thermocouple blocks, several Peltier elements containing high performance heat sinks that act as heat exchangers. The cold from the thermocouple blocks is on one side in one Heat exchangers and the heat on the other side of the thermocouple blocks derived in another heat exchanger. Thereby the thermocouple blocks stored in a heat-insulating layer.

Starting from the above prior art, the problem is that the Heating or cooling of the air conditioning systems only by a liquid medium such as Water or a water glycol mixture happens. It is known that the conventional heating heating systems and cooling machines for cooling Find the thermal energy to the water or to the water glycol mixture submit. The media-bound thermal energy becomes the respective one Air conditioner, to chilled ceilings, to radiators or to the underfloor heating to get there these into the air or into the room by means of the heat exchanger, radiator or screed to deliver. The media-bound thermal energy is often not generated on site, you Transport to the place of use means to the heat exchangers or to the rooms however, an effort that should not be underestimated. In addition, with the conversion of Energy in thermal energy is usually associated with a large emission of pollutants seems problematic especially in conurbations.

Therefore, heat and cold generation at the place of use in the room is more appropriate, the transport and conversion into thermal energy with so-called physically light energy (electrical energy) occurs. With a so-called physical easy energy transfer and the direct production of heating and cooling energy on The place of use is the losses due to the long transport routes of the thermal Energy transmission of the so-called physically heavy type of energy (medial energy; District heating, oil, etc.) less and pollutant emissions reduced.

This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.

Its components, such as variable energy supply, protective devices, etc. are included additional device parts such as fans, flaps etc. combined and with one Networked media channel system. The H thermocompact devices act both as heating and / or cooling device and as a heat and / or cold exchanger with the possibility of Heat recovery and dehumidification.

High-performance heat sinks, which act as heat exchangers, ensure the transfer of the Energy e.g. to the medium air.

Electrical energy is generated directly by a doped semiconductor element, the Peltier element converted into thermal energy, ie heat and cold energy. The thermal Energy is separated into heat and cold and polarized to the surfaces of the Peltier - Elements directed to accumulate there. It occurs at the same time opposite surfaces, that is, one surface is hot, the other is cold. Several Peltier elements connected to each other with copper bridges on their thighs connected and externally with an electrically insulating and thermally conductive Insulating layer (ceramic layer) are covered, form a thermocouple block. Through the electrical series connection and the thermal parallel connection of Peltier elements the energy conversion effect described above is multiplied. The on the surface of the Peltier element or the thermocouple block (on the Ceramic cover) resulting polarized heat and cold depends on the polarity of the Energy source or direct current source. The thermal energy on the surfaces the Peltier elements are accumulated on the surfaces of the thermocouple block transfer. From there, the thermal energy (hot side and / or cold side) is either indirectly transmitted and derived (cooled) on both sides, i.e. the thermal energy is on Large-area heat exchanger segments, the heat exchanger block (heat sink segments or heat sink blocks (heat exchanger)), derived, which in turn the thermal Give energy to a medium (gas, liquid), or the thermal energy can too directly transmitted and derived on one side, or directly derived (cooled) on both sides i.e. Media are directed directly onto the thermocouple block surface to the dissipate thermal energy.

Both for direct and indirect dissipation of thermal energy (Air cooling as well as water cooling) of the thermocouple blocks the thermocouple blocks in the heat exchangers for fixing slightly in Recessed. The counterparts point accordingly to these heat exchangers matching base. The bases are horizontal on the heat exchanger block in the plane and vertically offset and aligned, while in the central arrangement in the Level are arranged in a line.

Unit type 1 of the H thermocompact unit contains two heat exchanger blocks. Since the bases are arranged in the center, a heat exchanger block must consist of several heat exchanger segments to compensate for the longitudinal expansion resulting from the thermal effects and the mechanical thermocouple block tolerances. However, the tolerances can also be compensated for by milling or plating on the base.
When using a heat exchanger block, which consists of several heat exchanger segments, these are mounted at a spatial distance from one another, so that a mutual thermal influence of the heat exchanger segments and thus the thermocouple blocks is excluded.
The thermocouple blocks are clamped between two heat exchanger blocks. These heat exchanger blocks are fixed to each other with screws so that the thermocouple blocks are clamped with a force. The screws are made of thermally poorly conductive precious metal and are surrounded by a heat-insulating guide bush. Heat-insulating spacers, which are stretched between the heat exchanger segments or the heat exchanger block and the opposite heat exchanger block, keep them at the desired distance from one another.

With device type 2 there is a direct transfer of the thermal energy, whereby the thermocouple blocks release their thermal energy directly to the liquid medium, in particular to water. The heat exchanger is also divided into several segments in order to rule out thermal and mechanical influences on the thermocouple blocks and to compensate for the mechanical tolerances of the thermocouple blocks.
The media used for cooling / heating the thermocouple blocks, in particular water, are guided in a body, the so-called fluid body. The fluid body always bears a mirror image of the heat exchanger block or the base arranged to the heat exchanger segments. The fluid body is traversed by an embedded channel system which is closed on all sides and which is connected to an inlet and outlet connection. Furthermore, the fluid body has an inflow and an outflow channel. This inflow and outflow channel let into the fluid body is provided with a cover (cover) which is fastened to the body with screws and thereby seals the inflow channel to the outflow channel and to the outside. An internal sealing cord (O-cord), which enables the sealing between the fluid body and the cover (cover), is fixed in the body by means of a milling. Another possibility of attaching the cover to the fluid body is to weld it to it. The upper cover of the fluid body can be omitted if the inflow and outflow channels are made through deep holes in the fluid body: Holes are drilled longitudinally and transversely to the end face of the fluid body, which form inflow and outflow tubes. These are in connection with the inflow and outflow pipes that lead the medium (here water) to the thermocouple block surfaces or away from them. The deep holes drilled longitudinally and transversely to the end face of the fluid body are closed to the outside by sealing plugs. This manufacturing is preferred because it is simpler and cheaper.
The inflow and outflow channel milled or driven into the upper side of the fluid body is connected to the thermocouple blocks via channel openings, which each lead to a thermocouple block surface of the thermocouple blocks mounted on the underside of the fluid body. The medium is injected or directed onto the thermocouple block surfaces through these channel openings (bores) which lead from the inflow channel to the thermocouple block surfaces. The medium is drained from the thermocouple block surfaces to the drainage channel through holes on the opposite side of the injection holes. The volume flow that is directed onto the thermocouple block surfaces is essentially dependent on the media inflow pressure and on the cross-sectional size of the inflow hole. The controlled and metered medium injection takes place through targeted cross-sectional narrowing in the inflow hole. This is made possible by inserting cylindrical bodies, which are provided with a screw crown, into the inflow bores which have the desired

Allow the medium volume flow to flow between the cylinder jacket and the bore jacket. The medium flow, which acts on the screw crown, causes the cylinder to rotate about its longitudinal axis, which prevents limescale deposits between the cylinder jacket and the bore jacket. Another way to avoid unwanted dirt, limescale deposits, etc. on all media-guided H - thermocompact devices of device types 2 to 5 is to separate the media flow into a primary and a secondary circuit. The thermal energy transfer from the primary to the secondary circuit can take place using conventional heat exchangers, e.g. plate heat exchangers.
An outflow of the medium that flows between the thermocouple block surface and the fluid body is prevented by an inner sealing ring (O-ring), which is embedded and fixed by a milling in the base of the fluid body, on the outer edge of the respective thermo - Element - Block surface rests. An external sealing ring (O - ring) around the thermocouple block, which is also recessed into the base of the fluid body, prevents the medium from flowing out if the thermocouple block surface (ceramic surface) should burst .
Two connection pins are used for the electrical connection of a thermocouple block, on which the thermocouple block lies. This creates an electrical connection between the thermocouple block and the energy source. For fixation, the pins are poured into a non-conductive mass.
These pins are milled under the outer sealing rings. The energy supply with electrical energy required for the thermocouple blocks is ensured by wires that are routed between the two heat exchanger blocks. With this option of thermal energy transfer, the thermocouple blocks are tensioned and fixed between the fluid body (medium-carrying body) and the heat exchanger block, which may consist of several heat exchanger segments.

The free volume between the heat exchanger block and the fluid body is filled with insulating material in order to avoid thermal losses. The heat exchanger size or its surface size is thermally adapted.
The thermal power transferred to the heat exchanger blocks can be transferred to various media such as gases (air), liquids (water, oils) etc. Depending on the required thermal performance dQ / dt ((dQ / dt = (k • dT • dV / dt) with k = ρ • c; volume flow dV / dt, temperature T, medium density ρ, heat capacity of the medium c) are the elements on the heat exchanger blocks, which act as heat and cold exchangers for the applications, the maximum heating and cooling capacity is arbitrary and depends on the number of thermocouples.
Depending on the temperature gradient, the heat exchanger blocks release the thermal energy to the media, mostly air, circulating in the heat exchanger chambers.

A variable energy supply ensures a variable selection of heating and cooling energy. This is achieved in that a variable voltage and / or power supply ensures the electrical energy supply. To support this measure, the thermocouple blocks can be subjected to various and expedient electrical interconnections, which are carried out by connecting or disconnecting individual thermocouple blocks that are connected in series or in parallel, thereby throttling or increasing the electrical energy supply , ie a metering of the thermal energy is effected.
The electrical energy for the thermocouple blocks is processed by switching power supplies or by transformers with downstream rectifiers. The control of the ripple of the energy for the thermocouple blocks is used for the heating or Cooling case selected accordingly.
Sensors such as temperature sensors (room temperature sensors, temperature monitors (TW), duct temperature sensors, etc.), thermistors or safety temperature limiters (STB), which protect against thermal overload as well as overvoltage and overcurrent protection devices that protect against electrical overload of the thermocouple blocks installed, act directly or indirectly on control and regulating devices, actuators, etc. and thus influence the energy supply of the thermocouple blocks and limit them if necessary. The temperature control loop influences the desired room temperature. The temperature limiting control loop controls the maximum thermocouple temperature to protect the thermocouple blocks from thermal overload. In order to prevent the thermocouple blocks from overheating, which can also occur when the medium is at a standstill, a flow monitor measures the media flow and switches the device off automatically if necessary.
The heating and cooling energy generated by the Peltier elements is essentially dependent on the energy source, ie on the direct voltage source and / or direct current source, which is generated by rectifying the mains voltage, ie alternating voltage. The AC rectification creates a DC ripple and / or DC ripple that depends on the number of rectifier pulses. The ripple influences the efficiency of the thermocouple blocks or the Peltier elements. The efficiency of the thermocouple blocks, ie the conversion of electrical energy into refrigeration energy, is greatest with an ideal direct voltage source / direct current source, which means here when the ripple of the direct voltage source / direct current source is zero, and deteriorates with poorly smoothed direct voltage sources / direct current sources, ie with large ripples.

In summer, for example, the greatest possible cooling energy with low heating energy To generate the thermocouple blocks with rectified electrical Energy supplied, the ripple is very low. The greatest possible thermal energy with Low cold energy can be generated in winter, for example, by the fact that Thermocouple blocks with rectified electrical energy, their ripple is great to be cared for.

While a fluid body and a heat exchanger block are used in device type 2, two fluid bodies are used in device type 3. In the case of direct energy transfer on both sides, the converted thermal energy is available to both fluid bodies fixed to one another. Only an outer sealing ring is required here. For example, a medium to be cooled is passed directly onto a thermocouple block surface, while the other thermocouple block surface is cooled by a medium, for example water, and the latter is heated in the process. In this way, the cooling of a drink or the heating of a chemical substance can take place. In the case of media that are explosive, the media is conducted in a closed heat exchanger. Media, such as drinks etc., which must be kept as germ-free as possible can also be managed in this way.
In order to achieve the highest possible degree of efficiency, the medium is preheated in a media heat exchanger (see description of device type 5) and the media temperature is then cascaded by guiding the medium in the fluid body so that it flows to and via the subsequent thermocouple - Block surface flows. This causes the media temperature to accumulate.

While with device types 1 and 2, the thermocouple blocks in a line, i.e. are in the middle and are mainly in the middle of device type 3, they are at Device type 4 offset. In this way there is a mutual thermal influence largely excluded. One heat exchanger need not be segmented here. The Fluid body has two inflow channels.

In device type 5 there are two fluid bodies, two edge heat exchangers and a media heat exchanger, which is attached between the two edge heat exchangers. The fluid bodies are fixed and clamped on the two edge heat exchangers by means of screws. In order to prevent a mutual thermal influence of the thermocouple blocks on the edge heat exchangers, insulating materials are embedded in the edge heat exchangers.
The centrally located heat exchanger is connected to the edge heat exchangers via two spindle screws in the upper and lower heat exchanger halves. While the media heat exchanger always remains in its position, the edge heat exchangers can be moved longitudinally to their axis using the spindles. The spindle screws are mounted and fixed transversely to the media heat exchanger, which only allows a rotational movement of the spindle screw in the media heat exchanger and in the edge heat exchangers, ie a longitudinal displacement of the same is excluded. On the spindles there is a thread in the middle of each of the edge heat exchangers, on each of which there is a spindle nut cut at right angles to its diameter and connected to the jaws by two screws. The spindle nut is in turn attached to the respective edge heat exchanger. Due to the rotary movement of the spindle, the edge heat exchangers experience a stroke movement along the spindle axis. This results in a shift of the edge heat exchanger in the direction of the media heat exchanger. The concern of the same with the edge heat exchanger and a removal of the edge heat exchanger from the media heat exchanger, ie their separation from the media heat exchanger is thereby ensured. The rotation of the spindle is made possible by a motor, which is attached to the outside of an edge heat exchanger.
A disc spring rests on the right and left between the spindle nut and the edge heat exchanger. This creates a tolerance compensation that enables the two edge heat exchangers to lie evenly against the media heat exchanger. The same applies accordingly to the separation of the edge heat exchanger from the media heat exchanger. The two fluid bodies are connected to one another via two tubes which are arranged in the upper and in the lower half and lead into the interior of the fluid bodies. Each fluid body has an inflow and outflow system, which consist of hollow cylinders running in the fluid body, and wherein the inflow system is connected to the pipe running in the lower half, the outflow system has a connection to the upper half.
Since the edge heat exchangers can be displaced and the fluid bodies are fixed on them, the fluid bodies must be displaceable accordingly. This is achieved in that the tubes connecting the fluid bodies to one another are screwed tightly in one fluid body, but in the other a limited displacement to the longitudinal direction of the tube can take place. In the fluid body in which the tube is fastened there is a thread that is screwed to a thread on the outside of the tube. In the opposite fluid body, two seals are fitted, which in turn guide the other end of the tube inside, seal it from the fluid body and thus enable a longitudinal displacement of the tube.
Another possibility is that a continuous tube runs through the fluid body at both ends, which is attached to the media heat exchanger and which has a connecting flange at each end. There is a connection between the fluid bodies and the pipes in that they have an opening to the respective inflow and outflow system of the fluid bodies, which are sealed by seals arranged to the right and left of the openings.
When cooling, the two edge heat exchangers are spatially separated from the media heat exchanger. This means that the latter, ie a cooling effect on the latter, is excluded by the cooling energy generated in the edge heat exchangers with the aid of the thermocouple blocks introduced therein. While only the thermal energy of the medium (water) comes into play during cooling in the media heat exchanger, both the thermal energy of the medium (water) and that of the electrical energy, which are converted into thermal energy by the thermocouple blocks, come into play in the edge heat exchangers converted to effect and are available at the edge heat exchangers. The thermal energy obtained in this way from the edge heat exchangers and the media heat exchanger has an additive effect in the medium to be cooled, for example air, if its temperature is higher than the one made available.
In the event of a higher water temperature than the temperature of the cooling medium, for example air, the water flow to the medium heat exchanger is interrupted. This is done by the evaluation electronics influencing a valve, possibly closing it and thus interrupting the media flow (water). The evaluation electronics record both the temperature of the medium water and that of the medium air to be cooled.
In the case of heating, the edge heat exchangers are pressed against the media heat exchanger in order to achieve a large heat exchanger surface. This prevents overheating of the thermocouple blocks and provides the greatest possible thermal energy on a correspondingly large surface. Likewise, in the case of heating, the medium flow, for example water, from the edge heat exchangers into the media heat exchanger is interrupted by a valve. The heat energy generated can be transferred to the medium (air) without loss of energy, ie removal of the heat energy generated by the medium (water) in the media heat exchanger is avoided here by closing the valve.
The media heat exchanger has two larger transverse channels on its rear side at the upper and lower ends, which in turn are connected to one another in the longitudinal direction via the finest channels. The closure of the duct system is ensured by a cover (cover) that has two inlet connections. This causes media to be introduced at the upper right or left end and to be discharged at the lower left or right end of the cross channel.
All medium-guided device types (types 2 to 5) require ventilation taps to prevent the accumulation of air in the inflow and outflow channels and to enable ventilation.

In order to allow maximum surface cooling of the thermocouple blocks, in addition to the previously used seals (outer and inner seal; O - ring), a specially designed seal can also be used for device types 2 to 5. What is special about this seal is the fact that it rests on the outer edge of the thermocouple block, which allows the surface to be cooled to a maximum by the medium because the surface of the thermocouple block that acts on the medium is larger than with the previously described seal. The outer rows of Peltier elements in the thermocouple block are also optimally cooled.
The seal is designed in such a way that, on the one hand, it prevents the medium from flowing out laterally from the thermocouple block and, on the other, prevents the medium from flowing out if the thermocouple block breaks mechanically. A carrier is embedded in the seal, which is constructed as a ring, to stabilize it. The inner edge of the sealing ring resembles that of a channel lying in the direction of the thermocouple block, the upper edge of which lies in the form of a leg on the metal surface of the fluid body, while the lower edge in the form of the other leg on the outer edge of the thermo element. Element - Blocks lies. In order to prevent the upper edge of the thermocouple block from breaking off, a support beam connected to the sealing ring is fitted below the edge surface to support the latter, which in turn is pressed together by the lower edge of the upper plate of the thermocouple block and the edge heat exchanger. These pressures create a balance of forces. The forces above and below the thermocouple block only affect its edge.
While the lower support of the sealing ring, the support beam, is interrupted at the corner points, the channel resting on the surface of the thermocouple block is completely closed. The integrated outer sealing ring only lies between the fluid body and the heat exchanger (heat sink) and thus prevents the medium from flowing out if the thermocouple block surface breaks mechanically.

In the case of indirect thermal energy transmission on both sides (device type 1), the tempered air (warm and cold air) is available in two separate duct systems. With one-sided indirect and one-sided direct thermal energy transfer (device type 2,4,5), the tempered air is only available in one duct system. It is transported to the respective locations by means of the air circulation by the fans. Ventilation flaps allow the air flows to be redirected.
Only device type 1 is suitable for heating / cooling a room using air as the medium. The device types 2,4 and 5 heat / cool using water or the like as a medium. With device type 3, other liquids such as drinks or explosive substances can also be heated / cooled, since these are guided in a second separate fluid body.
Both axial and radial fans can be used for ventilation of the rooms and the necessary flushing of the cooling and heat exchangers of the H thermocompact units.
It proves to be advantageous to introduce the medium supplied for cooling the warm heat exchanger block (device type 1) in the center and to discharge it on both sides, because the temperature difference between the medium introduced and discharged is small and therefore a greater cooling of the warm side is achieved than with lateral medium inflow and outflow.
The H - thermocompact devices always have heat and cold sources that can be used according to the requirement profile.
The peripheral devices such as filters, air flaps, etc. filter suspended matter from the air (clean the air) and ensure conditioned and metered amounts of air. By controlling the individual mechanical or electrical air flaps and by steplessly or steppingly controlling the fans, on the one hand the fresh air requirement can be set and covered, and on the other hand an indirect temperature shift (admixture of mixed air chambers, etc.) can be realized.
Protective devices that are necessary for the additional device parts are the generally known standard devices.
If the thermal energy generated on one side of the H thermocompact device, eg the energy of the warm side in summer, cannot be used, it can also be transferred to other media, such as other gases or liquid media. This possibility exists on both sides and in general.
The primary setting of the temperature is carried out by measuring the room temperature, the outside air temperature and / or at further measuring points and measuring locations. The measurement results are evaluated by a control system, which in turn influences the energy source of the H thermocompact devices and adjusts the temperature of the H thermocompact devices. This compensates for the temperature gradient between the inflowing medium (gases, liquids), air and the H thermocompact devices. The gas, air and other media that flow through the H - thermocompact devices are thus specifically tempered.
The advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that no refrigerants have to be used in the generation of refrigeration on a semiconductor basis with Peltier elements or with thermocouple blocks, and therefore no CFC is produced, whereas in conventional refrigeration with refrigeration machines almost exclusively refrigerants are used become.
According to the invention, the physically heavy type of energy transports (media energy; district heating, oil, etc.) are eliminated and pollutant emissions are reduced.
While conventional heating and cooling circulates mass flows that are directed to the air conditioner and react sluggishly, according to the invention this is eliminated by the electrical energy transmission and its thermal conversion. The effects of the control and regulation also take place more directly than with conventional air conditioning systems, where the upstream heating and cooling systems require long start-up times. While central parts of the heating and cooling machines have to provide building parts or technical rooms that dampen the noise level and have to comply with special fire regulations, this does not apply here according to the invention.
According to the invention, the H thermocompact devices can be set up as a central unit or device unit or can be accommodated decentrally in the building complex as a decentralized system.
According to the invention, because of their small dimensions, the H thermocompact devices can be used in all rooms, particularly when converting.
Another advantage is due to the fact that the H thermocompact devices can be used for heating and cooling by reversing the polarity of the energy source.
Another expedient and advantageous embodiment of the invention is the heating / cooling of the H thermocompact devices with natural resources. Due to the separate medium routing in the H-thermocompact devices and the separate medium routing outside the H-thermocompact devices, natural resources or artificial energy sources can be used for winter heating and summer cooling. Since the Peltier elements or the thermocouple block generally generate a temperature difference (difference between the cold and warm side), either the warmer or the colder side is fixed to a temperature specified by an existing medium. The free temperature on the other side is used to optimize energy generation (energy saving measure). In summer operation, for example, the warm side of the H thermocompact units has to be supplied with cool underground car park air, cellar air or similar cool media that are discharged outdoors due to their poor air quality.
This application is usually excluded in conventional air conditioning systems, because due to the high degree of pollution in the air, the air must be cleaned before it flows through the conventional heat exchanger, the fins of which are otherwise clogged. The cold side of the H thermocompact devices is charged with fresh air, room air which is supplied to the desired rooms, this air leading to an additional gain in cooling energy. The H thermocompact units can also be used for heat recovery. Conversely, additional heat energy can be obtained in winter. The prerequisite for this is that the ventilated rooms have a balanced air balance, which can be achieved with additional ventilation measures.
The advantages achieved with the invention are, in particular, that energy recirculation or heat or cold recovery is possible compared to outside air cooling.
The H thermocompact units are each suitable separately for summer and winter operation, or as a combination with a switchable unit, so that the hot side is swapped with the cold side, for summer and winter operation, which can be supported by an air flap control and thus one enables optimal annual utilization.
Another advantage is that an increase in the efficiency of the thermal energy yield can be achieved by controlling the ripple of the electrical energy source. The H thermocompact devices (device type 1,2,4,5) are supplied with the medium air by fans.

Another advantage is that the tight system of H - thermocompact devices can be used in both air conditioning and process engineering.
Since the Peltier elements with their electrical supply have no direct contact with the media in the heat exchanger blocks, the sealed H - thermo compact devices can also be flushed with explosion - sensitive media, which is a further advantage.
Further expedient and advantageous refinements of the invention emerge from the subclaims.
The H - thermocompact units (types 2 to 5) flushed with medium (air or / and water) can either be installed with two-branch air ducting in equipment rooms or in ceiling spaces or with single-branch air duct as cooling ceiling or as the basis for a ventilation unit (unit type 2.4, 5) can be integrated into ceilings. Another useful and advantageous embodiment of the invention is a special type of decentralized system as a cooling and / or heating blanket.
Air or water is used for cooling ceilings to cool the heat-side heat exchanger block.
While ventilation pipes and / or ventilation ducts are used for the air cooling of the heat-side heat exchanger block, the dimensions of which, particularly when converting, are cumbersome, the mechanical complexity and the mechanical dimensions are low for water cooling of the heat-side heat exchanger block, and are therefore advantageous. According to the double-stranded air flow, one side of the H-Thermocompactors is supplied with air or water (air cooling or water cooling), which ensures that warm air or water is removed in summer and cold air or water in winter, i.e. overheating or freezing the H - Protects thermocompact devices.
In summer, the cooling capacity is transferred to the cooling ceiling, in winter the heating capacity is transferred to the medium air in the heating ceiling (in the ceiling panel), which is then supplied to the rooms.
A position-oriented preferred direction required for installation is not to be provided for the chilled or heated ceiling.

While in the conventional chilled ceiling large amounts of liquid thermal energy (water masses) circulate in the pipe system, this is eliminated according to the invention in the H thermocompact devices due to the electrical energy transmission and its conversion. It is also advantageous according to the invention that the rooms are cooled or heated immediately after the request, while in the conventional cooling by chillers or heating systems etc. start-up times are required, ie more time is required. The advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that in the conventional cooling ceiling or heating blanket a considerable load on the blankets by the ceiling tube system, by flushing the same with the cooling medium or heating medium and by the necessary mounting effort, which can be seen according to the invention in the Air cooling of the H thermocompact devices is not required. Accordingly, the occurrence of leaks in the pipe system, which arise through oxidation and the like, are excluded according to the invention (device type 1). According to the invention, the pipe system with its insulation is eliminated.
In the case of one-sided cooling of the H thermocompact devices with process water, which brings about greater heating or cooling efficiency, no heating and / or cooling system is required according to the invention.

According to the invention, the physically heavy transports of energy (media energy; District heating, oil, etc.) and pollutant emissions are reduced.

Another expedient and advantageous embodiment of the invention is a special type of decentralized system, such as heating and cooling radiators, in the function of static heating and static cooling. While the H - thermocompact device is only integrated in the ceiling of chilled ceilings, the radiator is installed in the room according to the radiators or similar used previously. Air and water are used for cooling ceilings to cool the heat-side heat exchanger block, while water is usually used for the radiators (wall mounting or similar). When using the H - thermocompact device as a wall radiator (radiator / heat sink), an integrated cross fan is installed in order to ensure the greatest possible removal of heat or cold energy, i.e. in addition to heat radiation and heat convection, an additional continuous flushing of the warm / cold side heat exchanger block.
The resulting warm water can be collected as service water in a boiler and made available for further use, or the resulting cold water can be collected as waste water in containers and used, for example, to flush the toilet. While ventilation pipes and / or ventilation ducts are used for the air cooling of the heat-side heat exchanger block, the dimensions of which, particularly in the case of conversion measures, are cumbersome, the mechanical complexity and the mechanical dimensions are low for water cooling of the heat-side heat exchanger block and are therefore advantageous.
Summer / winter switching is a prerequisite for use as a heat and cold generating radiator. A built-in frost monitor prevents the cold-side heat exchanger block or its water from freezing.

The advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that the dimensions compared to air cooling are small in water cooling. A great efficiency of heat and. Refrigeration results when using the available hot water. For example, hot water (city water) that has been prepared is used to flush the fluid body in winter and cold water in summer. This results in lower electrical energy consumption for heating and cooling with the H thermocompact device.
Another advantage is that only those installed in the building

Service water pipes must be laid to the H thermocompact device and therefore no heating pipe laying and no piping for the conventional refrigeration system is required.
While conventional heating systems with radiators (static heating) circulate large amounts of liquid thermal energy (water masses) in the pipe system, according to the invention this does not apply to the H thermocompact devices due to the electrical energy transfer and their conversion. Furthermore, it is advantageous according to the invention that the rooms are heated and cooled immediately after the request, while in conventional heating and cooling by heating systems and refrigeration machines etc. start-up times are required, that is, more time is required.
For the device types 1, 2, 4 and 5 of the H thermocompact device, the following facts must be taken into account:
In order to be able to collect and drain off condensation water, which is generated by condensation when the air is cooling (heat extraction), the H - thermocompact device or the attachment of the heat exchanger blocks is brought into a slightly inclined position. The condensation water flows along the cooling fins, collects in a specially designed channel and is drained into the wastewater or the outside through hose connections. For reasons of tightness, the cold side of the heat exchanger is made from an uninterrupted piece (device type 1), the warm side consists of heat exchanger segments that form a block. In order to prevent the formation of condensation, sensors are attached outside or in the space between the heat exchanger blocks, which record the temperature of the heat exchanger and limit the energy supply via a control in connection with the room temperature measurement. In the case of the device types with electrical summer and winter changeover (device type 1,2,4,5), the segments must be sealed from one another, provided that there are no closed heat exchanger blocks, so that the condensation water drainage is ensured.
The mechanical rotation of the H - thermocompact device about its longitudinal axis, through 180 degrees, for example in the absence of an electrical switchover facility that enables heating and cooling only on one side, is an alternative sealing option. This means that the cold side is swapped with the warm side. Exchanging the air flows (device type 1) achieves the same effect by using flap controls.

The H - thermocompact device 17 (Fig. 1,2), which acts as a heating and / or cooling radiator, is mounted on the wall so that the heat exchanger points into the room. The device is integrated into the water supply system via an inlet 21 and an outlet 22. In the heating case, the removed medium has cooled down, in the cooling case it is warmed up. The fan 23 causes the heat exchanger of the H thermocompact device to be flushed. The electrical energy preparation and the protection, measurement, control and regulation unit are an integral part of the device, which is connected to the electrical supply network. The room temperature sensor or room thermostat 24 is connected directly to the H thermocompact device.

Fig. 4 Exploded view of the H-type thermal compact device of device type 1 with indirect transfer of thermal energy from the thermocouple blocks:
When the H thermocompact device is completely housed in the ceiling, the device is provided with a cover 25 and a cover 26, both of which are fastened to the heat exchangers with screws 27, whereas if the H thermocompact device is inserted into the ceiling panel as a cooling ceiling, only the cover 25 is installed . If the H - Thermocompactor is completely or unilaterally housed, the chambers on the warm / cold 28 and cold / warm 29 sides, which run through the heat exchangers, are flushed with air, especially in ventilation and air conditioning technology. The construction of the hot / cold heat exchanger consists of several segments 30, while the cold-side / warm heat exchanger 31 consists of one block. The H thermocompact unit consists of two 30/31 heat exchangers. It is equipped with thermocouple blocks 32, which are arranged in the center of the heat exchanger segment, mounted on bases 33 and surrounded by insulating material 34, which thermally insulates the heat exchanger on the hot / cold side 30 from the heat exchanger on the cold / warm side 31. The heat exchanger segments 30 on the warm / cold side are connected to the heat exchanger 31 on the cold / warm side by means of heat-insulating screw connections 35 which are guided through a heat-insulating guide bush 36. They fix and clamp the thermocouple blocks 32 in between on the cold / warm and warm / cold heat exchanger surfaces. The holes 37 in the heat exchanger segments are provided with threaded bushings. Heat-insulating spacers 38 keep the heat exchanger at the desired distance from the heat exchanger segments.

15 Schematic representation of a ventilation system with H-type thermocompact device of device type 1 and peripheral devices such as air flaps etc. as a summer and winter compact system, which largely corresponds to that in FIG. 1:
The room exhaust air 155 discharged in summer is discharged as exhaust air 160 via the fan 156 through the open exhaust air flap 157 and the closed recirculation air flap 158 through the heating chambers 159 of the H thermocompact device. The outside air 161 is conducted into the room through the open outside air flap 162 and through the cooling chamber 163 via the fan 164 as supply air 165.
The exhaust air 155 discharged in the winter is discharged as exhaust air 160 via the fan 156 through the open exhaust air flap 157 and the closed recirculation air flap 158 through the cooling chambers 166 of the H thermocompact device. The outside air 161 is passed through the open outside air flap 162 and through the heating chamber 167 via the fan 164 as supply air 165 into the room.
This process enables heat and cold to be recovered. Due to the variable opening settings of the flaps 157, 158 and 162, recirculation mode or partial fresh air mode, which is based on outside air, is favorable on very hot days in summer and on very cold days in winter. While the flap 158 is opened continuously, the flaps 157 and 162 close in the same ratio as the flap 158 is opened.
The room temperature sensor 168 measures the room temperature, which acts on a control unit 169 and which has a direct influence on the protection, measurement, control and regulation unit (SMSR) of the H-thermocompact device and thereby temperature-regulates the room.

Fig. 16 Schematic representation of a ventilation system with H - thermocompact device of device type 1 and peripheral devices as a dehumidification system:
The air 170 to be dehumidified is led into the room through the cooling chamber 171 and heating chamber 172 of the H thermocompact device via the fans 173, 174 and via the flaps 175, 176. The room humidity sensor 177 measures the room humidity, which leads to an external control unit 178, which in turn acts on the protection, measurement, control and regulation unit (SMSR) of the H thermocompact device and thus influences the temperature of the H thermocompact device and on the Degree of humidity of the flushed air or the humidity in the room.
Dehumidification takes place by cooling air, the dehumidified air being mixed with the resulting warm air in the desired ratio. The flaps 175 and 176 ensure the room air mixture. The flap 175 opens in the same ratio as the flap 179 closes and vice versa. The same applies to the flaps 176 and 180.

Fig. 17 Schematic representation of a ventilation system with H-type thermocompact device type 1 and peripheral devices such as air flaps etc. as a summer and winter compact system:
While the room exhaust air 181 discharged in the summer is discharged via the fan 182 via the flap 183 through the heating chambers 184 as exhaust air 185, outside air 186 flows through the cooling chambers 187 via the flap 188 via the fan 189 as supply air 190 into the room. The flaps 191 and 192 are closed during summer operation. Due to the electrical switchover from summer to winter operation without switching over the H-thermocompact device, exhausted room exhaust air 181 is discharged as exhaust air 186 via the fan 182 through the open exhaust air flap 191 through the cooling chambers 187 of the H-thermocompact device. The outside air 185 is conducted into the room through the heating chamber 184 and through the open flap 192 via the fan 189 as supply air 190. The flaps 183 and 188 are closed during winter operation. The room temperature sensor 193 measures the room temperature, which is connected to an external control 194, which in turn acts on the protection, measurement, control and regulation unit (SMSR) of the H thermocompact device and thus influences the temperature of the H thermocompact device or that takes of space.
