Vapor-compression-cycle refrigeration system having a thermoelectric condenser

摘要

A vapor-compression-cycle refrigeration system that utilizes Peltier cooling to condense high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The Peltier condenser of the present invention includes a thermoelectric module which contacts at its cold side the gaseous refrigerant from the compressor and withdraws heat from the refrigerant to fins disposed on the hot side of the thermoelectric module.
