Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A combined heat exchanger module includes a first upper tank introducing cooling water into the combined heat exchanger module, a lower tank introducing the cooling water into or discharging the cooling water from the combined heat exchanger module, a second upper tank for discharging the cooling water from the combined heat exchanger module, first heat radiating channels connected with the first upper tank and the lower tank, second heat radiating channels connected with the lower tank and the second upper tank, and thermoelectric elements, in which each of the thermoelectric elements has a first surface in contact with the second heat radiating channels and a second surface exposed to air, thereby performing heating of air by use of both the cooling water and the thermoelectric elements or performing cooling of the cooling water by use of the thermoelectric elements.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A combined heat exchanger module comprising: a first upper tank configured for introducing cooling water into the combined heat exchanger module; a lower tank configured for introducing the cooling water into the combined heat exchanger module or for discharging the cooling water from the combined heat exchanger module; a second upper tank configured for discharging the cooling water from the combined heat exchanger module; first heat radiating channels, each having an upper end connected with the first upper tank and a lower end connected with the lower tank, the first heat radiating channels being formed in a plate tube shape through which the cooling water flows and being arranged in planes which are parallel to a direction of air flow; second heat radiating channels, each having a lower end connected with the lower tank and an upper end connected with the second upper tank, the second heat radiating channels being formed in a plate tube shape through which the cooling water flows and being arranged in planes which are parallel to the direction of the air flow and are disposed upstream or downstream of the first heat radiating channels with respect to the direction of the air flow; and a plurality of thermoelectric elements, each having a first surface which is in surface contact with the second heat radiating channels and a second surface which is exposed to air, wherein the plurality of thermoelectric elements are arranged in series along a direction parallel to a straight line connecting the second upper tank and the lower tank, and are connected to each other.
