Abstract

In this paper, a new model of the three-electron reservoir energy selective electronic cooling device applying double-resonance energy filters is proposed by using finite time thermodynamics. The analytical formulas of the main performance parameters for the double-resonance three-electron reservoir cooling device are derived. The optimal cooling load and coefficient of performance of the cooling device varying with major structure design parameters are explored and the optimal operation regions are further determined. Moreover, detailed analyses are conducted to reveal the influences of center energy level difference, chemical potential difference, energy level width, energy spacing and the phonon transmission induced heat leakage on the optimal performance characteristics of the cooling device. Finally, a performance comparison is made between the double-resonance and single-resonance three-electron reservoir electronic cooling devices. It is shown that through reasonable structure design, the optimal performance characteristics of the double-resonance device can be controlled to be much higher than those of the single-resonance cooling device.
