Performance analysis of a thermoelectric cooler with a corrugated architecture

Owoyele, Opeoluwa; Ferguson, Scott; O’Connor, Brendan T. - In: Applied Energy 147 (2015) C, pp. 184-191

A thermoelectric (TE) cooler architecture is presented that employs thin film thermoelectric elements on a plastic substrate in a corrugated structure sandwiched between planar thermal interface plates. This design represents a hybrid of a conventional bulk TE device and an in-plane thin film TE...
