Abstract
A cooling/heating, module configured to cool and heat air includes: first and second cooling/heating sections (20a, 20b), each having a thermoelastic material (21); and an actuator (22) applying tension to the thermoelastic material (21). The actuator (22) is configured to alternately perform the operation of applying tension to the thermoelastic material (21) of the first cooling/heating section (20a) and removing tension from the thermoelastic material (21) of the second cooling/heating section (20b) and the operation of applying tension to the thermoelastic material (21) of the second cooling/heating section (20b) and removing tension from the thermoelastic material (21) of the first cooling/heating section (20a).
