INTÉGRATION DE CHAUFFAGE ET REFROIDISSEMENT THERMOÉLECTRIQUES RÉPARTIS

摘要

A thermoelectric device includes an elongated panel, formed of a thermally insulating material, and having a plurality of thermoelectric elements formed from compacted conductors inside the insulating material and expanded conductors outside the insulating material wherein the thermoelectric elements run substantially parallel to or at an acute angle relative to the long dimension of the panel. The thermoelectric device may be integrated into a variety of surfaces or enclosures needing heating or cooling with controls and configurations to optimize the application.
