Abstract
1,040,218. Thermoelectric devices. N. V. PHILIPS' GLOELAMPENFABRIEKEN. July 15, 1963 [July 18, 1962], No. 27934/63. Heading H1K. A thermo-electric cooler comprises a space to be cooled surrounded by thermal insulation through which there is a heat path to an external heat exchanger. The heat path includes a Peltier cooling block with a tapered coupling piece on one side of it with its smaller end adjacent the block. The block comprises a plurality of spaced-apart parallel elements alternately of different thermoelectric materials series-connected by junction pieces. On at least one side of the block the sum of the sections of the junction pieces divided by the sum of the section of the elements in a plane perpendicular to the length of the elements is equal to the spread factor which is # 1.5. In the refrigerator shown in Fig. 1 comprising a sponge plastic container 2, the thermocouple assembly 6 is insulated from the tapered heat conductors 7 and 8 communicating with the cold chamber 1 and cooling fins 9 respectively and is disposed near the surface of the insulation to facilitate maintenance, though in an alternative arrangement the assembly is in direct contact with the copper or aluminium walls 3 of the chamber. The cooling fins may be cooled by latent heat of fusion, by convection or by a forced flow of water or air or may be replaced by ducted members through which coolant is forced. The assembly may be constructed as shown in Fig. 4b with parallel rows of alternately P- and N- type bismuth telluride elements 41 interconnected by copper bridging members 42 which except for gaps necessary for insulation form continuous surfaces in contact with heat conductors 46 via insulating adhesive 47. The elements are uniformly spaced in chequer-board fashion but may alternatively be closed packed in widely spaced rows. In either case the arrangement has a spread factor of about 3. Expressions are derived in the Specification relating the efficiency of the arrangement to the spread factor and for determining the optimum spread factor which enables the minimum amount of thermoelectric material to be used to obtain a given performance. The dimensions and performance of typical systems are also discussed.
