Abstract:
A plurality of series-connected heat exchanger units (50, 51, 52) are provided with thermoelectric modules (5), and turbulators (55) are provided on both surfaces of these thermoelectric modules (5). Each of the turbulators (55) is covered with a lower shell (53) or an upper shell (54), whereby a heating medium passes between the termoelectric modules (5) and turbulators (55). The lower shell (53), upper shell (54) and turbulators (55) are formed out of a transparent material so that the interior of the heat exchanger units can be visually observed.
Abstract:
Air traps 37a, 37b are disposed on one side adjacent at least one of suction and discharge ports of circulating pumps 14a, 14b forming a heat radiating or heat absorbing cycle. Also, the circulating pumps 14a, 14b are disposed at a level higher than heat-radiating and cooling heat exchangers 10, 20 and first and second heat exchanging portions 26a, 26b to recover air bubbles mixed therein so that the air bubbles circulated can be reduced to improve the heat efficiency.

Abstract:
A liquid suction port 34 between a heat-radiating heat exchanger 10 and a heat exchanging portion 26a of a manifold is connected to a liquid tank 51, and a self-priming pump 52 is connected to a suction port or discharge port of a circulating pump 14a in series. Then, the self-priming pump 52 is operated to pump a liquid from the liquid tank 51. After the liquid has reached a discharge port of the self-priming pump 52, the operation of the self-priming pump 52 is stopped and the liquid suction port 34 is closed. Finally, the self-priming pump 52 is removed and a coupling port between the self-priming pump 52 and the circulating passage is closed.
Abstract:
Air reservoirs (37a, 37b) are provided on at least suction sides or discharge sides of circulating pumps (14a, 14b) which constitute a heat radiation cycle or a heat absorption cycle. The circulating pumps (14a, 14b) are provided in positions higher than heat radiating or cooling heat exchangers (10, 20) and first or second heat exchanging portions (26a, 26b), and circulating bubbles are reduced by recovering mixed bubbles, whereby the thermal efficiency is improved.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermoelectric module type wine cellar capable of effecting cold temperature storage in a plurality of chambers having different temperature ranges by one set of heat exchanger, and capable of reducing a vibration affecting to wine badly, while retaining the optimum temperature in the cellar. SOLUTION: The amount of circulation of air, sent from a heat exchanger 34 equipped at the rear side of a cellar chamber 22, is controlled by a damper device 40 and the temperature of a plurality of standby chambers 21a, 21b equipped at the upper part of the cellar chamber is retained at a predetermined temperature while the inside of the cellar can be maintained at a cold temperature by utilizing a thermoelectric module 32 whereby a thermoelectric module type wine cellar, reduced in vibration, can be provided.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make the existence inspection of a leak in a thermoelectric heat exchanger block easily possible. SOLUTION: A pressure fluid is filled from the outside between bisected shell members 53, 54 through a through hole 201 provided within either of the bisected shell members 53, 54, between inner seal parts S1, S2 for sealing the space between the shell members 53, 54 and the heating surfaces 80, 81 each of a thermoelectric member 5 in the circumference of the formation part of a heating medium passage cavities 7, 8 and an outer seal part 88 for sealing the gap between the bisected shell members 53, 54, of the outer circumference thereof, the existence of a leak in the inner seal part S1, S2 and the outer seal part S3 is inspected at the first inspection from the state of the filled pressure fluid, and the through hole 201 is sealed after the inspection.
