DESIGN AND EXPERIMENTAL PERFORMANCE OF THERMOELECTRIC AIR CONDITIONER

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

The main aim of our project is to produce the air conditioning effect using peltier effect and eliminating the use of compressor condenser and other refrigerants like Freon and Ammonia which is toxic in nature. Thermoelectric couples are solid state devices capable of generating electrical power from temperature gradient known as seebeck effect or converting electrical energy into a temperature gradient known as peltier effect. We implement this peltier effect by using a series connection of peltier module to cool the air and it will be a better alternative to vapor compression system. We monitor the performance of the thermoelectric air conditioner and various temperature readings have been tabulated and COP is estimated.
