Summary

To solve the problem of thermal discomfort caused by the lack of cooling facilities on the Ferris wheel and to investigate the effect of the coupling effect of thermoelectric modules on the thermoelectric cooling (TEC) system, this paper proposes a two-module thermoelectric cooling and air-conditioning system that can be applied to the Ferris wheel. Firstly, the experimental platform was established to test the performance parameters of the TEC system and reveal the influence of the thermoelectric module (TEM) coupling effect on the system performance. Then, the thermal environment inside the Ferris wheel was simulated using the CFD method and human thermal comfort was evaluated. The results show that when the voltage of TEM1 and TEM2 is 10 V and 6 V respectively, the thermoelectric cooling and air-conditioning system has the best working performance, and the coefficient of performance (COP) is 0.43. And the human thermal comfort deviation AEQT is 0.29, which is in a comfortable state under the action of the air-conditioning system.
