Thermoelectric energy conversion

摘要: A thermopile 30 comprises a stacked assembly of bimetallic layers in which there is full conductor interface contact over the distance separating hot and cold surfaces 31, 32. The may include dielectric forming capacitor stack. A.C. current through stack matched strength to Seebeck-generated thermoelectric circulating each layer. resulting snakes cause Peltier cooling at one heat surface heating other. operation kilocycle frequency enhances energy conversion efficiency as does flow parallel with junction interface.
