THERMOELECTRIC HEAT EXCHANGER - HEAT TRANSMISSION INTENSIFIER FOR MAINTAINING A THERMAL REGIME IN ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS by Sh. A. Yusufov

“…A mathematical model is provided for determining the temperature of air flows from the heatexchange surfaces of a thermoelectric system (TES), as well as the limiting length of a thermoelectric system to achieve equal output temperature at given supply currents of thermoelectric batteries.Conclusion. On the basis of the conducted studies, it is concluded that a longer thermoelectric system for ensuring the intensification mode corresponds to an increased difference in the temperature of the coolant at the inlet. …”
