The paper presents an analysis of the requirements for a human heart ablation device. Optimal control theory methods were used to design cascade thermoelectric coolers (TEC) and calculate their characteristics. A special iterative algorithm was developed to design and calculate the characteristics of a cascade TEC. The design of the structure and calculation of the parameters of a multi-stage thermoelectric cooler for a human heart ablation device were performed.
