Abstract
A thermoelectric heat exchanger includes a first finned heat sink which includes at least two planar regions, at least two second heat sinks, each shaped to fit a respective one of the planar regions. At least two sets of thermoelectric cooling elements are provided, each set made up of three cooling elements arranged in a triangular pattern in a respective one of the planar regions between the first heat sink and the corresponding second heat sink. The cooling elements are connected together in series within each set and an electric voltage is applied in parallel across each of the sets of cooling elements. The second heat sinks are secured to the first heat sink to create a low thermal resistance contact between the cooling elements and the heat sinks, with each of the cooling elements establishing at least point contact with both of the respective heat sinks.
