Abstract
Module for conditioning air by the Peltier effect, comprising a hot plate and a cold plate arranged face to face, divided into strip plates and both provided with ribs, the P and N thermoelements connected by the strip plates and arranged between the crests of the cold ribs and the crests of the hot ribs, the cold ribs are vertical and the hot ribs are vertical or horizontal. The air to be conditioned circulates by natural convection along the vertical ribs without forced ventilation.
Claims21
Module for air conditioning by the Peltier effect comprising a conductor constituted by an alternate sequence of P and N thermoelements connected in series and provided at its ends with two direct current feed terminals characterized in that said module comprises, moreover, a hot conductive plate provided with parallel hollow ribs, and a cold conductive plate also provided with parallel hollow ribs, said cold conductive plate arranged in separated facing relationship to said hot plate, wherein said parallel hollow ribs of each of said two plates project between the space comprised between the planes of the two plates, each of the thermoelements being in direct contact with the crest of one rib of said hot plate and with the crest of one rib of the cold plate, the hot plate and the cold plate being divided into strip plates, each of the strip plates establishing an electrical contact between a thermoelement of the P type and a neighbouring thermoelement of the N type so as to form said continuous conductor.
