Abstract: A manifold incorporating a thermoelectric module having a wide contact of a heat medium with a heat transfer surface of the thermoelectric module and an excellent heat exchange efficiency, and a circular thermoelectric module easily manufactured and constructed into a multi-stacked structure. The manifold (1) comprises a cooling-side manifold piece (2), a heating-side manifold piece (3), a cooling-side agitating member (5), a heating-side agitating member (6), a thermoelectric module (7) and a motor member (8). Heat transfer surfaces (50, 51) of the thermoelectric module (7) are disposed vertically, so that if air enters the cavities (52, 55), air rises along the heat transfer surfaces (50, 51) and exhausted from the exhaust ports (22, 43) at the top of the manifold (1). The cooling-side agitating member (5) and the heating-side agitating member (6) are provided with permanent magnets (33), so that the cooling-side agitating member (5) receives a driving force from the heating-side agitating member (6) and is rotated. A square thermoelectric module (11) is held between aluminum disks (12, 13) to form a circular thermoelectric module (10).

Abstract: A thermoelectric module (7) having a heat absorbing surface and a heat radiating surface designed so that the heat radiating surface is heated and the heat absorbing surface is cooled by having an electric current passed therethrough is built in a manifold main body (17), while fluid-receiving cavities (10c, 10d, 20d) are formed between it and at least either the heat absorbing surface or the heat radiating surface, and hollows (10a, 10b, 20a, 20b) extending from outside to the cavities (10c, 10d, 20d) are formed. Further, installed in the manifold main body (17) are a stirring member for stirring the fluid in the cavities that has a stirring portion (15) integrated with a rotor (16), and a stator (8) fitted on the manifold main body (17), the rotor (16) and stator (8) constituting a motor. In this arrangement, an electric current is passed through the stator (8) to rotate the stirring member (5) in the cavities, causing the fluid to pass through the rotor (16) to reach the cavities (10c, 10d).

Abstract: In a thermoelectric device, such as a thermoelectric manifold, having a plurality of stages of thermoelectric modules, it is intended to improve heat exchange efficiency by uniformizing heat distributions on a heat absorbing surface and a heat radiating surface and to suppress thermal strain in the thermoelectric modules and ensure good heat transmission between the thermoelectric modules even if they are curved. To this end, in a thermoelectric device provided with a plurality of thermoelectric modules, fluid serving as heat medium is interposed between the thermoelectric modules and heat transmission through this fluid is effected from the heat radiating surfaces of the thermoelectric modules on the cooling side to the heat absorbing surfaces of the thermoelectric modules on the heating side.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent foodstuffs in a refrigerator chamber from being frozen or icing within the refrigerator chamber, reduce drying in the refrigerator chamber and improve keeping a freshness of the foodstuffs in the refrigerator at a low cost. SOLUTION: One evaporator 19 is partitioned by a partition member 20 into a first evaporator region 21 and a second evaporator region 22. A cooling air passage 23 of a freezing chamber includes a first evaporator region 21 and a freezing chamber cold air circulating means 24. With such an arrangement as above, air in the freezing chamber and air in the refrigerator chamber are cooled independently from each other and each of suitable temperatures of the discharged air can be attained, so that the temperature within each of the chambers can be made uniform at a low cost.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a temperature within a freezing chamber from being increased when a compressor is started to be energized in a refrigerator. SOLUTION: A freezing chamber 1 is comprised of, within a cooler chamber 10, a refrigerator fan 6, a freezing chamber air blowing-out port 16 for feeding out cold air to a freezing chamber 1, a refrigerator chamber air blowing-out port 17 for feeding out cold air to a refrigerator chamber 2 and an air blowing- out port changing-over means 18 for changing-over the air blowing-out port. Cooling of the cooler chamber 10 is carried out before starting of cooling operation at the freezing chamber 1. When a cooling at the freezing chamber 1 is started, air in the cooler chamber 10 having a higher temperature than that of the freezing chamber 1 is restricted from being flowed into the freezer chamber 1 and then the temperature in the freezer chamber 1 is prevented from being increased.
