Thermoelectric effect |
---|
Thermoelectric acclimatization depends on the possibility of a Peltier cell of absorbing heat on one side and rejecting heat on the other side.[1] Consequently, it is possible to use them for heating[2] on one side and cooling on the other[3] and as a temperature control system.[4]
Peltier cell heat pump
A typical Peltier cell based heat pump can be used by coupling the thermoelectric generators with photovoltaic air cooled panels as defined in the PhD thesis of Alexandra Thedeby.[5] Considering the system with an air plant that ensures the possibility of heating on one side and cooling on the other.[6] By changing the configuration it allows both winter and summer acclimatization.[7] These elements are expected to be an effective element for zero-energy buildings, if coupled with solar thermal energy and photovoltaic[8] with particular reference to create radiant heat pumps on the walls of a building.[9]
It must be remarked that this acclimatization method ensures the ideal efficiency during summer cooling if coupled with a photovoltaic generator. The air circulation could be also used for cooling the temperature of PV modules.
The most important engineering requirement is the accurate design of heat sinks[10] to optimize the heat exchange and minimize the fluiddynamic losses.
Thermodynamic parameters
The efficiency can be determined by the following relation:
where is the temperature of the cooling surface and is the temperature of the heating surface.
The key energy phenomena and the reason of defining a specific use of thermoelectric elements (Figure 1) as heat pump resides in the energy fluxes that those elements allow realizing:[11][12]
- Conductive power :
- Heat flux on the cold side :
- Heat flux on the hot side :
- Electric power :
Where the following terms are used: , electric current; α Seebeck coefficient; R electric resistance, S surface area, d cell thickness, and k thermal conductivity.
The efficiencies of the system are:
- Cooling efficiency:
- Heating efficiency:
COP can be calculated according to Cannistraro.[13]
Final uses
Thermoelectric heat pumps can be easily used for both local acclimatization for removing local discomfort situations.[14] For example, thermoelectric ceilings are today in an advanced research stage[15] with the aim of increasing indoor comfort conditions according to Fanger,[16] such as the ones that may appear in presence of large glassed surfaces, and for small building acclimatization if coupled with solar systems.[17][18]
Those systems have the key importance in the direction of new zero emissions passive building because of a very high COP value[19] and the following high performances by an accurate exergy optimization of the system.[20]
At industrial level thermoelectric acclimatization appliances are actually under development[21]
