Title:
INSULATOR, HEAT EXCHANGER, AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A HEAT EXCHANGER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/095468
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to an insulator comprising at least one thermally active insulator (1) and a control device. A thermally active insulator (1) comprises two surfaces (3, 4) between which a plurality of thermoelectric transformers are disposed. The thermoelectric transformers are supplied with electrical power by the control device (9). Said transformers allow heat transport from the one surface (3) to the other surface (4), or in the opposite direction. Said transformers also allow the prevention of heat transport, being applicable for example in a heat exchanger, in order to prevent the exchange of heat between two media of different temperatures that would normally occur.
