Abstract
Disclosed is an air conditioner using a thermoelectric module enabling to supply users individually with fresh and pleasant air for cooling/heating. The present invention includes a thermoelectric module having high and low temperature parts discharging and absorbing heat by an electric power, a heat-absorption accelerating means connected thermally to the low temperature part of the thermoelectric module so as to accelerate heat exchange between the low temperature part and an air, and a heat-dissipation accelerating means connected to the high temperature part of the thermoelectric module to accelerate heat exchange between the high temperature part and air so as to cool the high temperature part.
