Claim Text:
1. A thermoelectric cooling device comprising: a liquid heat exchanger including a separator that separates a liquid circulation path into an upper circulation path and a lower circulation path, upper fins adjacent the separator on one side of the separator, and lower fins adjacent the separator on an opposite side of the separator, the upper fins guiding liquid coolant along the upper circulation path at a given planar coordinate alongside the one side of the separator to flow in one direction and the lower fins guiding the liquid coolant along the lower circulation path at the same given planar coordinate alongside the opposite side of the separator to flow in a substantially opposite direction, the liquid heat exchanger configured to exchange heat with the liquid coolant that flows through the liquid heat exchanger; a first air heat exchanger, the first air heat exchanger configured to exchange heat with air that flows over the first air heat exchanger; a second air heat exchanger, the second air heat exchanger configured to exchange heat with air that flows over the second air heat exchanger; a first thermoelectric module thermally coupled on a first side of the first thermoelectric module with a first side of the liquid heat exchanger and on a second side of the first thermoelectric module with the first air heat exchanger to transfer heat between the first air heat exchanger and the liquid heat exchanger; and a second thermoelectric module thermally coupled on a first side of the second thermoelectric module with a second side of the liquid heat exchanger and on a second side of the second thermoelectric module with the second air heat exchanger to transfer heat between the second air heat exchanger and the liquid heat exchanger.
