   Anisotropic thermoelements [1, 2] that can be used for thermoelectric cooling have become widespread today. For this purpose in Ref. [3—5] it is suggested that Bridgman and Thomson effects should be utilized and well known anisotropic thermoelectric cooler and galvanothermomagnetic cooler should be replaced by simpler designs. Cooler models reprisented in this paper are intended for the expansion of the range of utilized thermoelectric and galvanothermomagnetic cooling methods and their simplification.
