Abstract:
A method for producing an electric and mechanically serial arrangement in a thermoelectric heat exchanger for temperature-controlling a fluid may include providing an electrically conductive strip. The method may also include providing the strip with a Peltier element including a plurality of p-doped p-semiconductors and a plurality of n-doped n-semiconductors so as to alternate with one another along the strip. Providing the strip with the Peltier element may include electrically contacting the plurality of p-doped p-semiconductors and the plurality of n-doped n-semiconductors by a connecting structure including a plurality of connecting elements. The method may further include arranging the plurality of connecting elements between the plurality of p-doped p-semiconductors and the plurality of n-doped n-semiconductors such that a respective connecting element of the plurality of connecting elements alternates with each of the the plurality of p-doped p-semiconductors and the plurality of n-doped n-semiconductors.

Claim (Index 4):
A thermoelectric heat exchanger for temperature-controlling a fluid, comprising:\n a flow space through which a fluid to be temperature-controlled is flowable; a transfer space fluidically separated from the flow space; and a Peltier element including a plurality of p-doped p-semiconductors and a plurality of n-doped n-semiconductors arranged in an alternating relationship with one another, the plurality of p-doped p-semiconductors and the plurality of n-doped n-semiconductors electrically contacted by a connecting structure including a plurality of connecting elements, the plurality of connecting elements each electrically contacting a respective p-semiconductor of the plurality of p-doped p-semiconductors and a respective n-semiconductor of the plurality of n-doped n-semiconductors; wherein at least one of the plurality of connecting elements is arranged in at least one of the flow space and the transfer space; and wherein the plurality of p-doped p-semiconductors, the plurality of n-doped n-semiconductors and the plurality of connecting elements form an electrical and mechanical serial arrangement such that one of the plurality of connecting elements is arranged between each of the plurality of p-doped p-semiconductors and the plurality of n-doped n-semiconductors.
