4 3-4 Consider a steady-state one-dimensional termoelectric cooler module as sown in Figure 3.. e module consists of many p-type and n-type termocouples, were one termocouple (unicouple) wit lengt L and cross-sectional area A is sown in Figure 3.. An electrical current is applied and induces a eat flow at te cold and ot junction temperatures as sown. Wit te assumptions tat te Seebeck coefficient is independent of temperature, no termal or electrical contact resistances, and no eat losses, Equation (3.) reduces to d dx ka d dx 0 A (3.3) e solution for te temperature gradient wit two boundary conditions ( x0 c and x L ) is d dx L A k x0 L c (3.4) Equation (3.) is expressed in terms of p-type and n-type termocouples. Q c = n [(α p α n ) c + ( ka d dx ) + ( ka d x=0 dx ) ] p x=0 n (3.5) were n is te number of termocouples and Substituting Equation (3.4) in (3.5) gives Q c is te rate of eat absorbed at te cold junction. Q c = n [(α p α n ) c ( ρ pl p A p + ρ nl n ) ( k pa p + k na n ) ( A n L p L c )] n (3.6) Finally, te cooling power at te junction of temperature c is expressed as
5 3-5 Q c = n [α c R K( c )] (3.7) were p n (3.8) pl R A p p nl A n n (3.9) K k p L A p p kn A L n n (3.0) f we assume tat te p-type and n-type termocouples are similar, we ave R = L/A and K = ka/l, were = p + n and k = kp + kn. Equation (3.7) is called te ideal equation wic as been widely used in science and industry. e rate of eat liberated at te ot junction is Q = n [α + R K( c )] (3.) Considering te st law of termodynamics across te termoelectric device, we ave W = Q Q c (3.) e amount of work per unit time across te module (rate of work) is obtained substituting Equations (3.7) and (3.) in (3.). W = n[α( c ) + R] (3.3) were te first term is te rate of work to overcome te termoelectric voltage, and te second term is te resistive loss. Since te power is W V, te voltage across te couple will be
6 3-6 V = n[α( c ) + R] (3.4) e COP is defined as te ratio of te cooling power to te input electrical power. COP = Q c = n [α c R K( c )] W n[α( c ) + R] (3.5) ere are two values of te current tat are of special interest: te current mp tat yields te imum cooling power and te current COP tat yields te imum COP. e imum cooling power can be obtained by differentiating Equation (3.7) wit respect to and setting it to zero. e current for te imum cooling power is found to be mp R c (3.6) e optimum COP can be obtained by differentiating Equation (3.5) and setting it to zero d(cop) = 0 d (3.7) We finally ave COP R Z (3.8) were = c, Z Z is expressed by k and is te average temperature of c and. n terms of,

Maximum Parameters Let us consider a termoelectric module sown in Figure 3. wit te teoretical imum parameters in te ideal equation. e module consists of a number of termocouples as sown. e ideal equation assumes tat tere are no te electrical or termal contact resistances, no omson effect, and no radiation or convection. t is noted tat te teoretical imum parameters migt differ from te manufacturers imum parameters tat are usually obtained troug measurements. e imum current is te current tat produces te imum possible temperature difference, wic always occurs wen te cooling power is at zero. is is obtained by setting Q c = 0 in Equation (3.7), replacing c wit ( ), taking te derivative of wit respect to and setting it to zero. e imum current is finally expressed by R Z Z (3.0) is te imum possible temperature difference wic always occurs wen te cooling power is zero and te current is imum. is is obtained by setting Q c = 0 in Equation (3.7), substituting bot and c by and, respectively, and solving for. e imum temperature difference is obtained as Z Z (3.) were te figure of merit Z (unit: K - ) is given by
8 3-8 Z or k Z RK (3.) Using Equation (3.), may be written as R (3.3) e imum cooling power Q c is te imum termal load wic occurs at = 0 and =. is can be obtained by substituting bot and c in Equation (3.7) by and, respectively, and solving for wit n termocouples is Q c. e imum cooling power for a termoelectric module Q c n R (3.4) e imum voltage is te DC voltage wic delivers te imum possible temperature difference at =. e imum voltage is obtained from Equation (3.4), wic is V n (3.5) 3.3 Normalized Parameters f we divide te actual values by te imum values, we can normalize te caracteristics of te termoelectric cooler. e normalized cooling power can be obtained by dividing Equation (3.7) by Equation (3.4), wic is
9 3-9 R n K R n Q Q c c (3.6) wic, in terms of te normalized current and normalized temperature difference, reduces to c c Z Q Q (3.7) were Z Z (3.8) e coefficient of performance in terms of te normalized values is Z COP (3.9) e normalized voltage is V V (3.30) e normalized current for te optimum COP is obtained from Equation (3.8).
10 3-0 COP Z (3.3) were Z is expressed using Equation (3.9) and Equation (3.8) by Z Z (3.3) Note tat te above normalized values in Equations (3.7), (3.9) and (3.30) are a function of tree parameters, wic are, and Z. Figure 3.3 and Figure 3.4 are based on te ideal equations using te normalized parameters. e tree imum parameters of,, and Q c are predictable inversely wit te effective material properties, we can ten use te normalized carts for estimation of te performance. e solid lines for te bot figures indicate te normalized prediction wit Z = 0.75 wic is a typical commercial value (see able 3.). Figure 3.3 sows te general caracteristics of ow cooling power and voltage depend on temperature difference. For example, te imum cooling power occurs at bot te zero of temperature difference and te imum current. e lower curve (red line) indicates te cooling power at te optimal COP, wic implies tat te optimal COP generally results in a low cooling power and te medium current exibits good design point in a practical view. Figure 3.4 sows tat te COP and cooling power versus te current along wit te temperature difference. e optimal COPs and imum cooling powers are clearly seen. e current may be properly arranged between te optimal COP and imum cooling power in a practical design.

[] Example 3. ermoelectric Air Conditioner A novel termoelectric air conditioner is designed as a green energy replacement for te conventional compressor-type air conditioner in a car. A termoelectric module wit eat sinks consists of n = 8 p- and n-type termocouples, one of wic is sown in Figure 3.5. e air conditioner as a number of te modules. Cabin cold air enters te upper eat sink, wile te outside ambient air enters te lower eat sink. An electric current is applied in a way tat a eat flow (cooling power) sould be absorbed at te cold junction temperature of 5 C and liberated at te ot junction temperature of 40 C. e EC material of bismut telluride (Bie3) is used aving te properties as p = n = 00 V/K, p = n = cm, and kp = kn = W/cmK. e cross-sectional area and leg lengt of te termoelement are An = Ap = mm and

Automotive air conditioners intrinsically demand bot a ig COP and a ig cooling power. Figure 3.6 COP and Qc versus current for te given properties and inputs. 3.4 Effective Material Properties As mentioned before, teoretically, te four imum parameters (,, Q c and V) are exactly reciprocal wit te tree material properties (,, and k). n oter words, te tree material properties constitute te four imum parameters in a reciprocal manner. n order to predict te performance of termoelectric coolers, te material properties are, of course, required. However, we ave a dilemma in tat usually manufacturers do not provide te material properties as teir proprietary information but only te measured imum parameters as specifications of teir products. Using te reciprocal relationsip, we can easily formulate te tree material properties in terms of te four manufacturers imum parameters. wo
19 3-9 imum parameters ( and ) are essential and must be used, but tere is a coice of eiter Q c or V. eoretically tere is no difference weter eiter is selected but practically tere is a difference depending on te coice. According to te analysis (not sown ere), if we coose te imum cooling power, te errors between te ideal equation and real measurements tend to go to te voltages. On te oter and, if we coose te imum voltage, te errors tend to be distributed evenly to te cooling powers and voltages. t sould be noted tat tere is no longer te reciprocity between te four imum parameters and te tree material properties if we determine te material properties by extracting tem from te manufacturers imum parameters. e material properties extracted are called te effective material properties. e effective figure of merit is obtained from Equation (3.), wic is Z (3.33) e effective Seebeck coefficient is obtained using Equations (3.3) and (3.4), wic is n Q c e effective electrical resistivity can be obtained using Equation (3.3), wic is (3.34) A L (3.35) e effective termal conductivity is now obtained using Equation (3.), wic is k (3.36) Z e effective material properties include effects suc as te electrical and termal contact resistances, te temperature dependency of te material, and te radiative and convective eat losses. Hence, te effective figure of merit appears sligtly smaller tan te intrinsic figure of
20 3-0 merit as sown in able 3. Comparison of te Properties and Dimensions for te Commercial Products of ermoelectric Modules []. Since te material properties were obtained for a p-type and n-type termocouple, te material properties of a termoelement (eiter p-type or n-type) sould be attained by dividing by. Comparison of Calculations wit a Commercial Product e effective material properties can be calculated for any commercial termoelectric module modules as long as te four imum parameters are provided. Calculated effective material properties from te imum parameters for four commercial termoelectric modules are illustrated in able 3.. en, we can simulate te performance curves of te module wit tese effective material properties using te ideal equations. For example, we obtained te effective material properties for C module in able 3. and compared te calculated performance curves wit te commercial performance curves, wic are sown in Figure 3.7(a) (c). t is found tat te calculated results are in good agreement wit te manufacturer s curves (wic are typically experimental values) able 3.
