Design and Implementation of Low Power Thermoelectric Refrigerator

Abstract

The Objective of this study is to design a prototype of thermoelectric Refrigerator using Peltier effect on thermoelectric refrigerate or to achieve and protect a specific temperature, to be maintained a selected temperature at acceptable range. The Interior volume of the thermoelectric refrigerator is 6.8 Liter. The design requirements are to cool the volume (6.8Liter) to a suitable temperature within a short time, low power and low cost. The Thermo electrical refrigeration is a new ersatz because it can change waste electricity power to useful cooling, so it's increasing demand desired at the field of food preservation, vaccine storages, cooling of electronic devices and medical services. The system consists of the thermoelectric chamber, heat sink, thermo couple, fan, insulator material and D.C. Source. The Results of this work show that the reduced energy needed for thermoelectric refrigerator is about 60 Watt, which is less than the power for the traditional refrigerator. In this study foam insulator is used of thicknesses (20mm, 40mm) and the heat load (Qc) which obtained is (31W, 23W) respectively .
