A Comparison of Cooling Technologies
The flow of heat with the charge carriers in a thermoelectric device, is very similar to the way that compressed refrigerant transfers heat in a mechanical system. The circulating fluids in the compressor system carry heat from the thermal load to the evaporator where the heat can be dissipated. With TE technology, on the other hand, the circulating direct current carries heat from the thermal load to some type of heat sink which can effectively discharge the heat into the outside environment.

Each individual thermoelectric system design will have a unique capacity for pumping heat (in Watts or BTU/hour) and this will be influenced by many factors. The most important variables are ambient temperature, physical & electrical characteristics of the thermoelectric module(s) employed, and efficiency of the heat dissipation system (i.e., sink). Typical thermoelectric applications will pump heat loads ranging from several milliwatts to hundreds of watts.
