ABSTRACT
Refrigeration is a process in which work is done to move heat from one location to another. Refrigerator which
runs on electricity provided by solar energy is known as solar refrigeration. We require huge amount of power
supply to refrigeration with compressor. It causes to CF, HF gases. So, we are implementing a technology with
respect to peltier effect. The system was designed based on the principle of a thermoelectric module to create
hot and cold sides. Thus our project concludes that solar energy systems must be implemented to overcome
increasing electricity crisis. In this work a portable solar operated system unit was fabricated and tested for the
cooling and heating purpose.
Keywords: Thermoelectric Module, Peltier Effect, Solar Panel, Cops.
I. INTRODUCTION
Conventional cooling systems such as those used in
refrigerators utilize a compressor and a working fluid
to transfer heat. Thermal energy is absorbed and
released as the working Fluid undergoes expansion
and compression and changes phase from liquid to
vapour and back, respectively. Semiconductor
thermoelectric coolers (also known as peltier coolers)
offer several advantages over conventional systems.
They are entirely solid-state devices, with no moving
parts; this makes them rugged, reliable, and quiet.
They use no ozone depleting chlorofluorocarbons,
potentially offering a more environmentally
responsible alternative to conventional refrigeration.
They can be extremely compact, much more so than
compressor-based systems. Precise temperature
control (< ± 0.1 °C) can be achieved with Peltier
coolers. However, their efficiency is low compared to
conventional refrigerators. Thus, they are used in
niche applications where their unique advantages
outweigh their low efficiency. Although some large-
scale applications have been considered (on
submarines and surface vessels), Peltier coolers are
generally used in applications where small size is
needed and the cooling demands are not too great,
such as for cooling electronic components.
The objectives of this study is design and develop a
working thermoelectric refrigerator interior cooling
volume of 5L that utilizes the Peltier effect to
refrigerate and maintain a selected temperature from
5 °C to 25 °C. The design requirements are to cool this
volume to temperature within a time period of 6 hrs.
And provide retention of at least next half an hour.
The design requirement, options available and the
final design of thermoelectric refrigerator for
application are presented
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
Early 19th century scientists, Thomas Seebeck and
Jean Peltier, first discovered the phenomena that are
the basis for found that if you placed a temperature
