<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooling device which performs efficient cooling by current-saving operation. <P>SOLUTION: A thermoelectric transformation module 1 is formed of substrates 6 and 7 arranged to face oppositely via an interval vertically, a plurality of electrodes formed respectively via an interval between each other on the opposing surfaces of the upper and lower substrates 6 and 7, and a plurality of thermoelectric transformation elements 5 of a p-type and an n-type arranged between the substrates 6 and 7 and arrayed via an interval between each other. By making a current flow through a connection circuit where the thermoelectric transformation elements 5 are connected via corresponding electrodes, the lower substrate 7 is made to be a substrate on an endothermic side, and the upper substrate 6 is made to be a substrate on a radiation side. Heat pipes 3 connected along the upper substrate 6 and the lower substrate 7 of the module 1 are formed and incorporated in highly heat conductive members 4a and 4b. The communicating part 3c of the heat pipes is exposed to the side of the lateral part of the module 1. On the upper side of a heat pipe 3a arranged on the upper side, a heat sink 12 is provided. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
