    Abstract: Disclosed is a cooling apparatus using thermoelectric modules. The cooling apparatus includes a cooling container, a first thermoelectric module contacting the cooling container at a first position, and a first heat dissipating module contacting the first thermoelectric module. The first heat dissipating module includes a loop heat pipe including a first evaporation unit contacting the first thermoelectric module and provided with a wick structure located therein, a first condensation unit located at the outside of the cooling container, a first vapor pipe line configured to interconnect one side of the first evaporation unit and one side of the first condensation unit such that gas is placed therein, and a first liquid pipe line configured to interconnect the other side of the first evaporation unit and the other side of the first condensation unit such that a working fluid is placed therein.

    Abstract: Systems methods and/or apparatus for the conversion of various types of energy into thermal energy that may be stored and/or then converted into electrical energy. The electrical energy may be available on demand and/or at a user's desired power requirements (e.g., power level and/or type). For example, the energy may be available at a particular voltage and either as direct current (DC) energy or alternating current (AC) energy. The electrical energy may be easily transported and therefore available at a user's desired location. For example, the systems, methods and/or devices may eliminate or reduce the need for electricity transmission, at least for certain applications. In exemplary embodiments, the system may include an organic phase change material for storing the thermal energy.

    Abstract: A thermoelectric module that has a thermoelectric element, an axial flow fan, and a heat sink and that is installed at a rear wall of the storage chamber to cool the storage chamber. The heat sink has a base configured to come in surface contact with the thermoelectric element, fins protruding from the base toward the axial flow fan and spaced apart from each other, and heat pipes having base passing portions passing through the base and fin passing portions passing through the fins and configured to transfer heat from the base to the fins. Each of the fins includes a first part arranged opposite to the hub and a second part disposed at one of both sides of the first part to face the vanes and protruding further from the base toward the axial flow fan than the first part.
