Summary
This paper presents the results of an experimental and analytical (simulation) study on a thermoelectric refrigeration system employing two two-phase loop thermosyphons. The experimental results show that a heat transfer rates of up to about 29 W/°C m² (the area based on the outside heat transfer area of the condenser sections) or about 5400 W/°C m² (the area based on the heat transfer area of the Peltier element) at an average air temperature of the refrigerator of -4.6 °C, with an ambient outside air temperature of 25 °C, can be attainable under forced convection heat transfer in the finned evaporator and condenser sections.
