Abstract
⺠Performances of miniature thermoelectric coolers are investigated numerically. ⺠Influences of scaling effect and Thomson effect on cooling performance are addressed. ⺠Three different thermoelectric cooling modules are analyzed. ⺠Miniature TEC is a desirable device to achieve thermoelectric cooling with high performance. ⺠The cooling power of a TEC module with Thomson effect can be improved by 5-7%.
