Abstract
In heating and cooling assemblages, that use a thermoelectric module of the Peltier type held tightly between heating and cooling members, an improvement, for avoiding fracture of the frangible components of the Peltier type thermoelectric module, is provided by using a clamping means, that acts against the members clamped against the thermoelectric module, that employs spring means that exert the assembly pressure against the thermoelectric module's substrates. The spring means desirably apply force in line with the central portion of the module's substrates, where the hottest portion of the module's substrate is located. The spring means employ one or more elongated leaf springs whose center is offset from the ends of the springs that are engaged by selectively actuatable clamping means. In one specific form a cooling box for use in the field is equipped with assemblages, as disclosed, provided at the corners of the box.
