To provide a thermal conduction apparatus effectively controlling excellent heat-absorbing and heat-radiating modes.
In this apparatus for conducting thermal energy, a thermoelectric unit in thermal communication with a thermal conductor is electrically operable so as to operate in a heat-absorbing mode, where the thermoelectric unit absorbs heat from the thermal conductor to reduce temperature of the thermal conductor, and a heat-radiating mode, where the thermoelectric unit radiates heat to the thermal conductor. A processor is operable so as to enable a power control circuit to control supply of electric power to the thermoelectric unit according to temperature of the thermal conductor and the thermoelectric unit sensed by a temperature sensor when the thermoelectric unit is operated in a selected one of the heat-absorbing mode and the heat-radiating mode.
