Abstract

PURPOSE:To attempt to obtain a uniform heat transfer over the whole surface area of both a heating block and a heat receiving block by making a gap between both blocks liq.-tight and connecting this liq-tight gap with a pump filling and removing a fluid with good thermal conductivity. CONSTITUTION:In a thermostat bath wherein a sample is cooled and heated by using a Peltier element 4, a Peltier element block wherein the Peltier element 4 and a radiating block 5 are integrated in a monolithic body and a holding block 2 assembled with an electric heater and holding a sample are placed separately. An elastic band 6 extending over the lower edge of this block 2 and the upper edge of the block 5 is tightly wound and a hole is opened on the band 6 and is connected with a syringe 7. A fluid 8 with good thermal conductivity (e.g. silicone oil) is filled in a gap between these blocks 2 and 5 and filling and discharging of the fluid 8 in the gap is achieved by operating the syringe 7. As the result, precise finishing of the surfaces of both blocks becomes unnecessary and a uniform heat transfer over the whole surface area of both blocks can be performed.
