ABSTRACT: The following article pretends to give a first approach to some of the basic concepts about
thermoelectric devices and the Peltier effect, responsable for giving some advantageous characteristics to new
cooling technology. We start recognizing the importance of the implementation of cleaner, more eco-friendly
refrigeration systems, when needs are changing in modern societies in terms of optimization of the space (smaller
and quiter technology) and generalized ecological concern. Then, we mentioned how did it went from Seebeck effect
to Peltier effect. Also, the thermodynamics involved in terms of concepts from thermal machines theory, such as
COP, thermal efficiency, and their relation with the electrical part of the phenomenon. The comparision between
various kind of cooling devices is useful to analize the role of new techologies as competition for older ones.
