3. Statement of the problem:
This research is based on the application of conventional air-
conditioning system that used coolant as a medium for cooling
system. Hence, the initiative of this system is focused on replacing
coolant with Peltier module which able to generate hot and cold
system in one device.
4. Research Objectives:
The main objective of this project is to design a Peltier based Cool and Hot system
Specific objectives:
The following are the four major objectives of the study:
1. To design and fabricate a cooler.
2. To design and fabricate Hot section.
3. To design Precise temperature controller.
4. Assembling and testing the whole system.
5. Discovered by Thomas Johann
Seebeck in 1821.
He accidentally found that a voltage
existed between two ends of a metal
bar when a temperature gradient
existed within the bar.
6. A temperature difference causes diffusion of
electrons from the hot side to the cold side of
a conductor.
The motion of electrons creates an electrical
current.
The voltage is proportional to the temperature
difference as governed by:
V=α(Th-Tc)
where α is the Seebeck coefficient of the couple
7. The Peltier effect is named after Jean Charles Peltier
(1785-1845) who first observed it in 1834.
The Peltier effect had no practical use for over 100 years
until dissimilar metal devices were replaced with
semiconductor Peltiers which could produce much larger
thermal gradients.
