This chapter shows in the first place the influence of heat exchangers on the performance of
both thermoelectric generation and thermoelectric refrigeration devices. Then, there are presented different types of heat exchangers specifically designed for dissipating high heat
fluxes from the cold and the hot side of thermoelectric devices. After that, the chapter
studies the improvement in the efficiency of thermoelectric devices achieved with these heat
exchangers. Finally, the concept of thermoelectric self-refrigeration is introduced; this
application uses thermoelectric technology for the refrigeration and temperature control of a
device, without electricity consumption. [--]
