Abstract: A thermoelectric module (7) having exothermic and endothermic surfaces, which are heated and cooled, respectively, when an electric current is supplied thereto is built in a manifold body (17), and a cavity (10c, 10d, 20d) is defined therein for entry of a fluid medium in cooperation with at least one of the exothermic and endothermic surfaces, together with a hollow (10a, 10b, 20a, 20b) that extends from an outside to the cavity. A stirring member (5) having a stirring portion (15) integrated together with a rotor (16) within the manifold body (17) for stirring the fluid medium within the cavity is disposed within the manifold body, so that a motor can be formed by the rotor (16) and a stator (8). In this structure, the stirring member (5) is rotated by supplying an electric power to the stator (8), to allow the fluid medium to reach the vacity (10c, 10d) through the interior of the rotor (16).

Abstract: In a thermoelectric device such as a thermoelectric manifold having a plurality of stages of thermoelectric modules, not only are distributions of heat. at endothermic and exothermic surfaces equalized to increase the heat exchange efficiency and also to suppress thermal strains in the thermoelectric modules, but also heat transmission between the thermoelectric modules is facilitated even though bowing occurs. For this purpose, in the thermoelectric device utilizing the plural thermoelectric modules, a fluid serving as a heat transfer medium is intervened between the thermoelectric modules and is utilized to achieve a transmission of heat from the exothermic surface of the thermoelectric module on a cooling side to the endothermic surface of the thermoelectric module on a heating side.

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.
