Abstract

This chapter discusses an analytical procedure for optimal design of thermoelectric heat pump. Two models are explained and compared: (1) standard model and (2) Seebeck–Thomson model. The optimization criteria were to (a) satisfy the heating load, (b) maximize the COP, (c) reduce the material volume and thus cost and (d) reduce the number of electrical junctions. From the analytical method, the optimal values of leg length, area, number of legs and current are obtained. The results of analytical method show that the performance of THP depends upon three simple ratios obtained by the combination of optimal parameters only, if the temperature range and heat load are known for a particular TE material. So by keeping these ratios constant, we can have infinite possible combinations of THP design. The selection of a THP for a particular application can be selected with the help of standard design charts. Simulation is done using AZTEC for a 10 W THP operating between 290 and 350 K. Experimental results available in the literature are compared.
