Claim Text:
1. A thermoelectric temperature control unit for controlling the temperature of an energy storage device in a motor vehicle comprising: at least one Peltier element, comprising a first surface and a second surface substantially adjacent or opposite to the first surface, wherein the first surface of the Peltier element is thermally connected to a first plate, wherein the first plate comprises two planar surfaces, wherein the first plate is further thermally connected to a heat exchanger comprising a first flow duct and a second flow duct, through which a first cooling fluid can flow, wherein the second surface of the Peltier element is connected in a thermally conductive manner to a first heat-producing element, wherein the first flow duct is in fluid communication at one of the ends thereof with a first header, wherein the second flow duct is in fluid communication at one of the ends thereof with a second header, wherein the first flow duct and the second flow duct are in fluid communication at the respective second ends thereof with a common reversing header, wherein the heat exchanger is connected to a cooling circuit, further comprising a plurality of Peltier elements, wherein the second surface of the Peltier element is connected to a third surface of a second plate, and the fourth surface of the second plate is connected to the at least first heat-producing element, wherein the third surface of the second plate is connected to a frame which has a plurality of first apertures corresponding to the size and the arrangement of the plurality of Peltier elements such that one Peltier element is arranged in each first aperture, wherein the frame is connected to a lower plate which also has a plurality of second apertures corresponding to the size and the arrangement of the plurality of Peltier elements such that one Peltier element is arranged in each second aperture, wherein an air gap is provided between the lower plate and the first plate.
