An interesting application of Peltier cooling based on the Peltier materials presently available arises for the cooling of current leads connected to superconducting power electronics. By inserting n-doped and p-doped Peltier tablets at the warm end into the circuit, at their warm side the remaining

β¦ Synopsis
We report on a Peltier cooling experiment using commercially available Peltier modules and reaching 149 K on the cold end. On the warm end the temperature was fixed at 282 K by cooling water. For reaching the superconducting transition temperature of the cuprates, better thermoelectric materials must be developed. We discuss estimates of the figure of merit needed for achieving the operating temperature of superconducting electronics in multistage Peltier systems.

A new sensor concept for the preventive detection of water condensation is presented. Based on the Peltier effect, this sensor should be able to detect, on any surface, the condensation probability measured as the small difference between surface temperature and dew-point temperature. It is composed
Large superconducting apparatus are best cooled by directly coupled refrigerators. The input of high currents to the superconductors produces heat losses according to the Wiedemann-Franz law. It is well-known that the direct input losses can be reduced when the leads are precooled over their entire
