PURPOSE:To increase an inner volume of a refrigerator and to enable a cooling system having no noise to be constructed by a method wherein a thermal insulating wall composed of a thermal insulating material filled between Peltier effect elements and thermal conducting material installed at the Peltier effect elements is applied as a part of the refrigerator. CONSTITUTION:A thermal insulating wall is formed by Peltier effect elements 14 electrically connected from each other, thermal insulating material 17 filled between the Peltier elements 14, and thermal conducting members 11, 18 installed at both or one of a high temperature side and a low temperature side of each of the Peltier elements 14 through electrical insulators 12, 16 and then this thermal insulating wall is used at a part of the refrigerator. Due to this fact, thermal energy collected at the high temperature side of each of the Peltier elements 14 can be dispersed by the thermal conductors 11, 18 and a thermal radiation with a static means such as natural convection can be attained. In addition, a thickness of this thermal insulating wall can be locally changed. With such an arrangement as above, it is possible to increase an inner volume of the refrigerator and at the same time it is possible to constitute a freezing system having no noise due to no presence of movable elements.

In the known art, the internal volume is reduced because
This is due to the use of a fan and radiator for heat dissipation. If these are not used, the internal volume of the refrigerator is correspondingly increased, but it is difficult to cool the inside of the refrigerator because heat cannot be sufficiently dissipated from the Peltier element. For example, if a low temperature side of the Peltier device is kept at about 4 ° C. with a Bi-Te system module (thickness 5 mm), which is a typical Peltier device, 1 m
It is necessary to radiate heat of about 2000 W per 2 from the high temperature side (temperature 30 ° C.) of the Peltier device. If the temperature difference between the high temperature side of the Peltier element and the ambient temperature is 10 ° C., the heat accumulated on the high temperature side cannot be radiated by static means such as natural convection.

On the other hand, according to the first aspect of the invention, the heat energy gathered on the high temperature side of the Peltier element can be dispersed by the good heat conductor, and the heat can be dissipated by the static means such as natural convection. For example, FIG. 2 shows the analysis result of the heat transfer coefficient necessary for heat dissipation when 1/40 of the volume of the heat insulating material is used as a Peltier element.
When the thickness of the heat insulating wall is 24 mm, the heat transfer coefficient is about 5 W / m2K. As a result, it means that heat can be dissipated by natural convection.
