We study the thermoelectric transport properties through two parallel coupled; gate-defined quantum dots (QDs); in the framework of the X-boson treatment for the impurity Anderson model. We compute the thermopower S; the thermal conductance κ; the electrical conductance G; and the product of the thermoelectric figure of merit and the temperature ZT; as function of the dot energy. We concentrate the calculations on ZT; that is; a measure of the usefulness of materials or devices as thermopower generators or cooling systems. If the coupling between the QDs is weak; ZT is greater than 1 when TΔ (Δ is the mixing width between the QD and the leads) but when the system is coupled; the second dot can tune the temperature region where ZT>1. This result increases the possibilities of practical application of the system in mesoscopic cooling process. © 2008 American Institute of Physics;
