Problems solved by technology

Since the figure of merit of the existing thermoelectric element is equal to that of the thermoelectric material, and the figure of merit of the current thermoelectric material is 0.004K -1 Therefore, the figure of merit of existing thermoelectric elements is low, and the working efficiency of thermoelectric conversion is not high. The applications of thermoelectric power generation devices, thermoelectric refrigeration devices or semiconductor refrigeration devices and other thermoelectric products and devices manufactured by existing thermoelectric elements are subject to limitations

example 1

[0024] Example 1: A thermoelectric component, the figure of merit Z of the thermoelectric material 材 =0.003K -1 , the cross-sectional area S of the thermoelectric element 1 1 = 4 square millimeters, length L 1 = 4 mm, the cross-sectional area S of the thermoelectric element 2 2 = 4 square millimeters, length L 2 = 1 mm. The cross-sectional area of ​​the junction S 3 = 0.2 square millimeters.

[0025] Then S 1 / S 3 =20,Z 3 = Z 1 =0.003K -1 ×20=0.06K -1 . Therefore, under adiabatic conditions, the figure of merit of this semiconductor thermoelectric component from the hot end to the cold end is 0.06 K -1 , the direction is from the hot end of thermoelectric element 1 to the cold end of thermoelectric element 2.

example 2

[0026] Example 2: A semiconductor thermoelectric component, the figure of merit Z of the thermoelectric material 材 =0.0025K -1 , the cross-sectional area S of the thermoelectric element 1 1 =3 square millimeters, the cross-sectional area S of the thermoelectric element 2 2 = 2 square millimeters, L 1 = 2 mm, L 2 = 1 mm, the cross-sectional area S of the joint 3 = 0.1 square millimeters.

[0027] Then S 1 / S 3 = 30, Z 3 = Z 1 =0.0025K -1 ×30=0.075K -1 . Therefore, under adiabatic conditions, the figure of merit of this semiconductor thermoelectric component from the hot end to the cold end is 0.075 K -1 , the direction is from the hot end of thermoelectric element 1 to the cold end of thermoelectric element 2.

example 3

[0028] Example 3: A semiconductor thermoelectric component, the figure of merit Z of the thermoelectric material 材 =0.0035K -1 , the cross-sectional area S of the thermoelectric element 1 1 = 4 square millimeters, S 2 = 4 square millimeters, L 1 = 4 mm, L 2 = 1 mm. The thermoelectric element 1 and the thermoelectric element 2 are connected by welding, and the cross-sectional area S of the joint is 3 =0.1mm², without considering the welding resistance, then S 1 / S 3 = 40, Z 3 = Z 1 =0.0035K -1 ×40=0.14K -1 . Therefore, under adiabatic conditions, the figure of merit of this semiconductor thermoelectric component from the hot end to the cold end is 0.14 K -1 , the direction is from the hot end of thermoelectric element 1 to the cold end of thermoelectric element 2.
