According to Wikipedia:
"Thermoelectric cooling uses the Peltier effect to create a heat flux between the junction of two different types of materials. A Peltier cooler, heater, or thermoelectric heat pump is a solid-state active heat pump which transfers heat from one side of the device to the other side against the temperature gradient (from cold to hot), with consumption of electrical energy. Such an instrument is also called a Peltier device, Peltier diode, cooling diode, Peltier heat pump, solid state refrigerator, or thermoelectric cooler (TEC). Because heating can be achieved more easily and economically by many other methods, Peltier devices are mostly used for cooling. However, when a single device is to be used for both heating and cooling, a Peltier device may be desirable. Simply connecting it to a DC voltage will cause one side to cool, while the other side warms. The effectiveness of the pump at moving the heat away from the cold side is dependent upon the amount of current provided and how well the heat can be removed from the hot side."
A peltier cooler is not a thermopile nor a thermocouple and it does not rely on the seebeck effect.
What else can I help you with?
What is a thermoelectric generator and what is it used for and how does it work?
it is to help with the heat in are house
what may be causing my freezer to work but my refrigerator not to work?
what may be causing my freezer to work but my refrigerator not to work
Is curium used for thermoelectric generators?
Curium is not used in thermoelectric generators.
If freezer is defrosting will refrigerator still work?
It depends on what kind of refrigerator you own.
How can the thermoelectric cooler efficiency be improved?
The efficiency of a thermoelectric cooler can be improved by using materials with higher thermoelectric properties, optimizing the design for better heat transfer, and reducing electrical and thermal losses.
Why won't your refrigerator work in camper?
the refrigreator wont work
What kind are the best for storing wine?
When it comes to wine refrigerators it is very important to purchase one with temp control. Different wines need to be stored at different temperatures. A Thermoelectric wine refrigerator would be the best to purchase.
What is thermoelectric transducers?
thermistor is one of the example for thermoelectric transducer and we can say this is the worst topic of the instrumentation . its better to not study.............................................................................................................
How do thermoelectric generators work to convert heat into electricity?
Thermoelectric generators work by utilizing the Seebeck effect, where a temperature difference between two different materials creates an electric current. When one side of the generator is heated and the other side is cooled, electrons flow from the hot side to the cold side, generating electricity.
What are the factors that contribute to the efficiency of a thermoelectric generator?
The efficiency of a thermoelectric generator is influenced by factors such as the temperature difference between the hot and cold sides, the material properties of the thermoelectric materials used, and the design of the generator itself.
What type of circuit does the refrigerator work by?
i dont no
