Currently, energy demand and environmental pollution have boosted the evolution of different environment friendly technologies for the development of clean and renewable energies. That is why scientific research allows us to demonstrate the use of solid state based devices implementing temperature changes by electric induction. Given the above, a combined thermic generation system is taken into consideration, consisting in an environmentally friendly thermoelectric generator and refrigerator, wich is fueled and controlled by an electric fluid. Therefore, this study gives an approch and mathematic demonstrations to the concepts of greater relevance about the thermoelectric device and the effects of greater incidence, responsible for giving advantageous characteristics to the implementation of Peltier cells as a basic device in a cooling system for smaller applications, maintaining an ecological system, clean and without detrimental effects to the ozone layer, since there is no C02 emissions into the atmosphere.

En la actualidad la demanda de energía y la contaminación ambiental conlleva a la conciencia de la evolución de distintas tecnologías amigables con el medio ambiente para el desarrollo de energías limpias y renovables, es por esto que la investigación científica nos permite demostrar el uso de dispositivos basados en estado sólido para la implementación de cambios de temperatura basados a partir de inducción de electricidad. Dado lo anterior es considerado un sistema de generación térmico combinado, el cual consiste en un generador termoeléctrico y refrigerador, lo cual es amigable con el medio ambiente siendo alimentado y controlado por fluido eléctrico. Por ende, el siguiente estudio da un acercamiento y demostraciones matemáticas a los conceptos de mayor relevancia sobre el dispositivo termoeléctrico y los efectos de mayor incidencia que son responsables de dar características ventajosas a la implementación de celdas de Peltier como dispositivo base para un sistema de enfriamiento en aplicaciones en tamaño reducido, manteniendo un sistema ecológico, limpio y sin efectos de degradantes a la capa de ozono por la emisión de C02 en la atmosfera.
