Abstract

<p>In our world, there are many situations where generated heat must be removed actively such as in engines, turbines, CPUs in datacenters, power semiconductors, and batteries. Existing solid-state thermoelectric conversion mostly harvest heat that had been ejected to outside the system but still have some utility value. However, an integration of active cooling and thermoelectric power generation was unexplored. Since 2015, we have been developing a new technology that integrates liquid-based thermoelectric conversion into forced convection cooling. This article describes the concept of this technology and summarizes our recent results.</p>
