摘要: This paper describes an experimental study and the numerical model of a system that cools or warms airflow by means thermoelectric modules (TE modules). The device consists four TE in contact with fins within circulating airflow. opposite sides are water box heat exchangers. results good agreement theoretical thermoelectricity equations, confirm feasibility cooling heating air through COP. presented afterward is based on electric analogy calculates temperatures along flow. very close to those obtained during experiment, thereby reasonably validating this model.
