Abstract

This paper studies a refrigeration system by using thermoelectric effect (peltier), a module for controlling the temperature within an enclosed structure that is provided in the system. It consists of controller system, transducers, cooling fan and sensing element. The desired temperature which was about 5°C for 10 litres of loads as similar as normal refrigerators, the various parameters of this module are of cooling fan voltage (CFV), Peltier Voltage (PV) and ambient temperature (Ta). The results show that the COP was increasing from 0.14 to 0.47 with the gradual decrease of temperature in the cooling region from 303 K to 284 K. The thermoelectric effect of refrigerator increased with a higher amount of heat rejected from the heat sink. KEYWORDS: Thermoelectric, Peltier, Controller System, Cooling Fan & Ambient Temperature
