DISTRIBUTED THERMOELECTRIC MODULE WITH FLEXIBLE DIMENSIONS

摘要

A thermoelectric module pumps heat reversibly from one side to another side when energized with a voltage. The dimensions of the module may be configurable, allowing the thermal management area to be matched to the thermal load. The thickness of the module may be compressible, allowing for vibrational and clamped environments. The thermal connections of the module may allow for thermal expansion and contraction without physically stressing the thermoelectric elements.
