TL;DR: In this paper, a thermoelectric cooling apparatus for cooling an electronic device such as a CPU, or a computer chip is presented, where a heat absorbing block collects the heat produced by the electronic device and the apparatus pre-cools the device by dissipating a portion of the collected heat in a distant location through a front heat conductive device and a front radiator.
Abstract: The present invention provides a thermoelectric cooling apparatus for cooling an electronic device such as a CPU, or a computer chip. The apparatus cools the electronic device by two stages. In the first stage, a heat absorbing block collects the heat produced by the electronic device and the apparatus pre-cools the electronic device by dissipating a portion of the collected heat in a distant location through a front heat conductive device and a front radiator. Thereby the heat of the electronic device is reduced to a degree that a TEC can efficiently handle. In the second stage, a TEC of the apparatus dissipate the residual of the heat produced by the electronic device through at least a back heat pipe and a back radiator.
