Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic cold and hot storage chamber employing a thermoelectric conversion device. SOLUTION: The electronic cold and hot storage chamber is constituted of a box body 14, constituted of a wall material 18 including a vacuum insulating material 17 in at least one part of the same, the thermoelectric conversion device 21, in which either one of a heat dissipating surface 21b or a heat absorption surface 21a effects heat exchange between the storage space in the box body 14 and the other part of the heat dissipating surface 21b and the heat sucking surface 21 effect heat exchange between the outer part of the box body 14, and an electricity storage device 27 for supplying an electric current to the thermoelectric conversion device 21. The box body 14 can be manufactured so as to be compact and light in weight by thinning the wall material 18 as much as possible while having a sufficient heat insulating performance and, at the same time, an electric current can be supplied to the thermoelectric conversion device 21 without employing any external power supply whereby the storage chamber can easily be transported.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a temperature regulator for a storage battery, which sufficiently suppress temperature rise of the battery also preferable for warming up the battery. SOLUTION: The regulator comprises a first face 1 that radiates or absorbs heat responding to the polarity of energization and a thermoelectric converter having a second face 2. The first face 1 is thermally connected with at least one of the storage battery 8a or 8b and a second face 2 is thermally coupled with a thermal action promotion medium 4.
