MODELLING OF PORTABLE TEMPERATURE CONDITIONER BASED ON PELTIER MODULE

Electrical and Electronics Engineering

NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS IN ENGINEERING

The proposed paper consists of modelling of a portable temperature conditioner made of thermoelectric module (TEM) or Peltier module (TEC) which can be used for both cooling and heating purpose. The Peltier module is a device in which heat flux is created at the junction of two dissimilar conductor or semi-conductors when a voltage is applied across it. The reverse process will take place when the polarity of the current given to the module is reversed. The modelling consists 1) Heat load calculation, which is the measure of heat taken by the load. 2) Design of thickness of insulated container for holding the load (here water). 3) Design of optimum heat sink for adequate heat dissipation to the atmosphere. The simulation is carried out using ANSYS steady state thermal 4) Design for finding out the convection constant for selecting the fan for forced convection with desired cubic feet per minute (cfm).
