Abstract:
A thermoelectric refrigeration system comprising:first and second thermoelectric modules each having a heat radiating surface and a cooling surface;a primary manifold including a first heat exchanging portion thermally coupled with the heat radiating surface of the first thermoelectric module, and a second heat exchanging portion thermally coupled with the cooling surface of the first thermoelectric module;an auxiliary manifold including a third heat exchanging portion thermally coupled with the heat radiating surface of the second thermoelectric module;a heat radiating system comprising a first circulating passage which includes a first circulating pump having a discharge port and a suction port, a heat-radiating heat exchanger, the first heat exchanging portion of the primary manifold, and a liquid medium filled in the first circulating passage;a heat absorbing system comprising a second circulating passage which includes a second circulating pump having a discharge port and a suction port, a cooling heat exchanger, the third heat exchanging portion of the auxiliary manifold, and a liquid medium filled in the second circulating passage; andan air trap coupled with at least one of the suction and discharge ports of any one of the first and second circulating pumps.
