Heat transfer system as it pertains to thermoelectrics
First Claim
1. IN A HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM, AT LEAST FOUR PANELS DISPOSED HORIZONTALLY AND SPACED VERTICALLY FROM EACH OTHER, EACH PANEL COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF THERMOELECTRIC COUPLES POSITIONED TO EFFECT HEATING ALONG ONE PANEL SURFACE AND COOLING ALONG ANOTHER PANEL SURFACE, SAID PANELS BEING SO ORIENTED THAT THE HEATED SURFACES OF ADJACENT PANELS FACE EACH OTHER AND THE COOLED SURFACES OF ADJACENT PANELS FACE EACH OTHER, A FIRST ARRAY OF HEAT EXCHANGE FINS CONNECTED TO THE HEATED SURFACES OF ADJACENT PANELS TO DEFINE A FIRST PLURALITY OF FLUID-CONFINING CHANNELS EXTENDING IN A FIRST DIRECTION, AND A SECOND ARRAY OF HEAT EXCHANGE FINS CONNECTED TO THE COOLED SURFACES OF ADJACENT PANELS TO DEFINE A SECOND PLURALITY OF FLUID-CONFINING CHANNELS EXTENDING IN A SECOND DIRECTION AT SUBSTANTIALLY RIGHT ANGLES TO SAID FIRST DIRECTION, THEREBY TO IMPROVE SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BY POSITIONING THE INLET AND OUTLET PORTIONS OF THE FIRST CHANNELS AS FAR AS POSSIBLE FROM THE INLET AND OUTLET PORTIONS OF THE SECOND CHANNELS.
