Abstract
A thermoelectric cooling device. Thermoelectric modules are interposed between two cylindrical rotors of the type similar to centrifugal fan rotors, with the vanes of the rotors hollowed and filled with a reflux heat transfer fluid. The hollow vanes have fins attached to them. The thermoelectric modules are fed by a direct current source and cause one rotor to get cold and the by, rotor to get hot. The air which is flowing by, and near, each rotor becomes cool or warm, as the case may be. Shrouds around the rotors direct the air flows. The rotors and the thermoelectric modules are rotated, as one unit, by an electric motor.
