Abstract
A thermal management system was developed and validated to meet the cooling need of a medical device generating a continuous 60 Watt of heat. Due to the operational and geometric constraints, thermoelectric modules combined with air-to-liquid heat exchanger became the viable solution. Measurements were conducted to validate the design. It was concluded that with proper arrangement, the system actually exceeded the cooling requirement.
