THERMOELECTRIC LIQUID-TYPE GENERATOR FOR GENERATION OF COLD OR HEAT Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: refrigerating engineering; thermoelectric refrigerating equipment. SUBSTANCE: generator includes housing and alternating "hot" and "cold" heat exchangers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 with thermoelectric batteries 10 located between them and connected to DC source. Heat exchangers are made from profile having passages for flow of liquid, bushes 6 and 7 fitted over edges of passages are used for supply and discharge of liquid; tightness is ensured by means of rubber ring 8. Heat exchangers are provided with holes and strips for direct contact of liquid with surfaces of thermal batteries; strips are just walls of profile passages coated with sealant for protecting thermoelectric batteries against liquid. Hermetic housing is filled with dry air. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency and reliability. 3 cl, 3 dwg
