摘要
Thermoelectric modules should be selected or designed to meet the specific cooling/heating requirements of a particular application and in most cases, the cooling/heating capacity and the working temperatures (hot and cold side temperature of thermoelectric devices) are known. Computer modelling can be used to assist the selection process by determining the relationships between the cooling/heating requirements and optimum thermoelectric parameters thermoelectric modules suited to large capacity thermoelectric heat pump applications.
