User-friendly and intuitive graphical approach to the design of thermoelectric cooling systems.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

This study proposes a user-friendly graphical method for calculating the steady-state operational point of a thermoelectric cooler (TEC)-based active cooling system, including the heat sink role. The method is simple and intuitive and provides comprehensive information about the cooling system such as its feasibility, required heat sink, the TEC current, temperatures of the cold and hot sides, and COP. The method could help designers to examine and choose a thermoelectric module from catalogues to meet a specific cooling problem. To start using the method, designers need only the experimental TEC data provided by practically all manufacturers of such devices. The experimental results of this study verify the high accuracy of the proposed model and graphical approach.
