| dc.description.abstract | In sectors such as electronics, photonics and HVAC and refrigeration, heat dissipation has a major impact in their performance. However, there is generally not much control over this effect. Thus, one way of making these units more controllable would be to include thermoelectric technology in the heat dissipation systems. Therefore, in this work, a computational model based on the resistance-capacitance model to solve a thermoelectrically aided heat dissipation system is proposed, considering all the thermoelectric effects, temperature dependent thermoelectric properties and four temperature levels. Besides, an experimental prototype has been built to assess the real performance of thermoelectric modules (TEM) working under different operating conditions. Additionally, these results have been used to validate the computational model, obtaining maximum errors of ±6% in the main parameters. Moreover, the computational model has been used to simulate the effect of modifying the temperature difference between the hot and cold sources and the thermal resistances of the heatsinks located on both sides of the TEMs. The results show that the thermoelectrically aided dissipation system would be beneficial when working with low temperature differences and low thermal resistance values of the heatsinks, especially on the heatsink located on the hot side of the TEMs. | en |
