peltier element is widely used to provide required temperature during DNA testing and even used in Telecom industry for cooling down lasers and provide the most suitable temperature for optical channels.
Thermoelectric power generation (TEG) devices typically use special semiconductor materials, which are optimized for the Seebeck effect. The simplest TEG device consists of a thermocouple, comprising a p-type and n-type material connected electrically in series and thermally in parallel.
Heat is applied into one side of the couple and rejected from the opposite side. An electrical current is produced, proportional to the temperature gradient between the hot and cold junctions.

Peltier Thermoelectric Modules Modeling and EvaluationCSCJournals
The purpose of this work is to develop and experimentally test a model for the Peltier effect heat pump for the transient simulation in Spice software. The proposed model uses controlled sources and lumped components and its parameters can be directly calculated from the manufacturer’s data-sheets. In order to validate this model, a refrigeration chamber was designed and fabricated by using the Peltier modules. The overall system was experimentally tested and simulated with Spice. The simulation results were found to be compatible with the experimental results. This model will help designers to better design thermal systems using the Peltier modules.

Microcontroller Control Thermoelectric heating and Cooling System using TEC1 ...ijtsrd
Nowadays microcontroller based automatic temperature heating and cooling control system is designed and constructed for the drinking water. The main function of heating and cooling are done by thermoelectric module TEC1 12706. The PIC 16 series, PIC16F887 is used as the main controller of the control system which decides the water temperature based on ds1820. It is also intended to design a control system for a home appliance simply and to maintain and upgrade easily. The development of software for this control system is designed by using the MickroC Pro for PIC software.

Electricity Generation using Thermoelectric System from Waste Heat of Flue Gasesijsrd.com
Energy related cost have become a significant fraction of cost in any industry. The three top operating expenses are often to be found in any industry like energy (both electrical and thermal), labour and materials. If we were found the manageability of the above equipment's the energy emerges a top ranker. So energy is best field in any industry for the reduction of cost and increasing the saving opportunity. Thermoelectric methods imposed on the application of the thermoelectric generators and the possibility application of Thermoelectrity can contribute as a "Green Technology" in particular in the industry for the recovery of waste heat. Finally the main attention is too focused on selecting the thermoelectric system and representing the analytical and theoretical calculation to represent the Thermoelectric System.
Applications of thermoelectric modules on heat flow detectionISA Interchange
This paper presents quantitative analysis and practical scenarios of implementation of the thermoelectric module for heat flow detection. Mathematical models of the thermoelectric effects are derived to describe the heat flow from/to the detected media. It is observed that the amount of the heat flow through the thermoelectric module proportionally induces the conduction heat owing to the temperature difference between the hot side and the cold side of the thermoelectric module. In turn, the Seebeck effect takes place in the thermoelectric module where the temperature difference is converted to the electric voltage. Hence, the heat flow from/to the detected media can be observed from both the amount and the polarity of the voltage across the thermoelectric module. Two experiments are demonstrated for viability of the proposed technique by the measurements of the heat flux through the building wall and thermal radiation from the outdoor environment during daytime.
The thermocouple is a device which converts thermal energy to electrical energy. It is particularly used as a thermosensor. It has wider applications in instrumentation and measurements.

The thermocouple can be defined as a kind of temperature sensor that is used to measure the temperature at one specific point in the form of the EMF or an electric current. This sensor comprises two dissimilar metal wires that are connected together at one junction. A Thermocouple is a sensor used to measure temperature. Thermocouples consist of two wire legs made from different metals. The wires' legs are welded together at one end, creating a junction. The voltage can then be interpreted using thermocouple reference tables to calculate the temperature.The temperature can be measured at this junction, and the change in temperature of the metal wire stimulates the voltages. These are used as the temperature sensors in thermostats in offices, homes, offices & businesses.
These are used in industries for monitoring temperatures of metals in iron, aluminum, and metal.
These are used in the food industry for cryogenic and Low-temperature applications. Thermocouples are used as a heat pump for performing thermoelectric cooling.
These are used to test temperature in the chemical plants, petroleum plants. These are used in gas machines for detecting the pilot flame.

A thermoelectric (TE) cooler, also known as thermoelectric module or Peltier cooler,
functions as a small heat pump. Applying low voltage DC power source to TE module,
heat will move from one side to the other. One module face will be heated simultaneously
while the other one will be cooled.
A thermoelectric module is suitable for temperature control applications as it is used for
both cooling and heating. An example will be helpful in order to offer the new user with
the general concept of thermoelectric cooler’s capabilities. In a situation where a single-
stage thermoelectric was maintained at room temperature and then, was placed on a heat
sink, and the module was either connected with a battery or DC power source, then the
cold side would cool down to -40°C approx. The module would be pumping no heat at
this point. The same fundamental laws of thermodynamics govern both mechanical
refrigerators and thermoelectric coolers. Both refrigeration systems function in
accordance with the same principles. In mechanical refrigeration unit, the pressure of a
liquid is raised by a compressor and the refrigerant circulates through the system.
2. In a freezer area, the refrigerator boils and absorbs heat which further causes the freezer
to become cold. Then, the absorbed heat moves to the condenser and transferred to the
environment. In a thermoelectric cooling system, condenser is replaced by finned heat
sink, the liquid refrigerant is replaced by doped semiconductor, and DC power source
takes the place of the compressor.
DC power application to the thermoelectric module results in electrons to move via
semiconductor material.
Heat is absorbed, moved and expelled by the electron movement, at freezer side of
semiconductor material. The heat is passed to the heat sink and transferred to the
environment, as hot end of material is attached to a heat sink. Physical principles on
which thermoelectric coolers are based date back to 1800’s, even though commercial TE
modules were unavailable until 1960.In 1821 German scientist, Thomas Seebeck,
discovered that an electric current would continuously flow in a closed circuit made of two
3. unlike metals if the junctions of the metals were controlled at two distinct temperatures.
He did not comprehend the scientific basis for his finding and assumed that the same
effect was produced by flowing heat as flowing electric current. While investigating the
Seebeck Effect, in 1834, Jean Peltier, found that there was an opposite phenomenon,
when an electric current flowed in the closed circuit, thermal energy could be absorbed
at one and released at the other junction.
20 years later, William Thomson gave a comprehensive description of the Seebeck
and Peltier Element. He explained their interrelationship. However, these phenomenons
at this point of time were still considered to be simple lab curiosities without practical
application. Russian scientists started studying in 1930s some earlier thermoelectric work
to build power generators at remote locations all over the country. This Russian interest
caught the attention of the world and inspired the practical thermoelectric modules
development. Seebeck, Peltier, and Thomson Effects, with various other phenomena,
create the functional thermoelectric modules basis.Forfurther information visit
