  • THERMOELECTRIC DEVICE BASED ON DIODES
    Publication number: 20190252595
    Abstract: Thermoelectric devices based on diodes. Devices and systems can be used as cooling devices or cooling systems or as energy harvesting devices or energy harvesting systems. System comprising: a diode (3.1) comprising a first end and a second end; at least one thermometer (3.2) attached to said first end of said diode; and a power supply/current generator (3.6). Method of changing the temperature of an element, said method comprising: providing a system comprising: a diode comprising a first end and a second end; a thermometer attached to at least said first end or said second end of said diode; and a power supply/current generator; contacting said first end or said second end of said diode to said element; driving current through or applying voltage to said diode, thereby cooling the first end of said diode and heating the second end of said diode, thereby transferring heat between said diode and said element, thus changing the temperature of said element.
