The working principle of the hot spot refrigeration film/semiconductor refrigeration film is: when a piece of N-type semiconductor material and a piece of P-type semiconductor material are connected to form a galvanic pair, after the direct current is connected in this circuit, energy transfer can occur, and the current is The N-type element flows to the joint of the P-type element to absorb heat and becomes the cold end. The P-type element flows to the joint of the N-type element to release heat and becomes the hot end. The magnitude of heat absorption and heat release is determined by the magnitude of the current and the number of pairs of semiconductor materials N and P elements. image 3 It is a refrigeration sheet, which is composed of two sets of ceramic sheets, between which there are N-type and P-type semiconductor materials (bismuth telluride). This semiconductor element is connected in series in the circuit.
