2. Thermoelectric cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_cooling

   Thermoelectric cooling uses the Peltier effect to create a heat flux at the junction of two different types of materials. A Peltier cooler, heater, or thermoelectric heat pump is a solid-state active heat pump which transfers heat from one side of the device to the other, with consumption of electrical energy, depending on the direction of the current.

3. Thermoelectric effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_effect

   The Peltier effect can be used to create a heat pump. Notably, the Peltier thermoelectric cooler is a refrigerator that is compact and has no circulating fluid or moving parts. Such refrigerators are useful in applications where their advantages outweigh the disadvantage of their very low efficiency.

4. Marlow Industries - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlow_Industries

   II-VI Marlow designs and manufactures semiconductor-based thermoelectric coolers and subsystems, [10] which provide cooling, heating, temperature stabilization, power generation, and energy harvesting functions. [1] Its products are used for infrared sensors, fibre-optic guidance systems, thermal reference sources, refrigerators, and chillers ...

5. Thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_generator

   The typical efficiency of TEGs is around 5–8%, although it can be higher. Older devices used bimetallic junctions and were bulky. More recent devices use highly doped semiconductors made from bismuth telluride (Bi 2 Te 3), lead telluride (PbTe), [10] calcium manganese oxide (Ca 2 Mn 3 O 8), [11] [12] or combinations thereof, [13] depending on application temperature.

6. Thermoelectric materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_materials

   The efficiency of a thermoelectric device for electricity generation is given by , defined as =.. The maximum efficiency of a thermoelectric device is typically described in terms of its device figure of merit where the maximum device efficiency is approximately given by [7] = + ¯ + ¯ +, where is the fixed temperature at the hot junction, is the fixed temperature at the surface being cooled ...

7. Thermoelectric battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_battery

   A thermoelectric battery stores energy when charged by converting heat into chemical energy and produces electricity when discharged. Such systems potentially offer an alternative means of disposing of waste heat from plants that burn fossil fuels and/or nuclear energy.

8. Jean Charles Athanase Peltier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Charles_Athanase_Peltier

   The Peltier effect can be considered as the back-action counterpart to the Seebeck effect (analogous to the back-emf in magnetic induction [13]): if a simple thermoelectric circuit is closed then the Seebeck effect will drive a current, which in turn (via the Peltier effect) will always transfer heat from the hot to the cold junction.

9. Water dispenser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_dispenser

   Originally, these bottles were manufactured at 3,5 or 6 US gallon capacity (11.4, 18.9 or 22.7 liters) and supplied to rented water cooler units. [4] These units usually do not have a place to dump excess water, only offering a small basin to catch minor spills. On the front, a lever or pushbutton dispenses the water into a cup held beneath the ...
