finition Refrigerationis a process in which work is done to
move heat from one location to another.
Thermoelectric Refrigerationaims at providingcooling effect by using thermoelectric effects ratherthan the more prevalent conventional methods likethose using the vapour compression cycle or the gas
compression cycle.

THERMOELECTRICEFFECTS
SEEBECK EFFECT:-
The Seebeck effect is theconversion of temperaturedifferences directly intoelectricity
Seebeck discovered that acompass needle would bedeflected when a closed loop
was formed of two metalsjoined in two places with atemperature differencebetween the junctions

THERMOELECTRIC EFFECTS
THOMSON EFFECT:-
It describes the heating or
cooling of a current-carrying conductor with atemperature gradient.

THERMOELECTRIC EFFECTSPELTIER EFFECT The Peltier effect bears the name of
Jean-Charles Peltier, a French physicistwho in 1834 discovered the calorificeffect of an electric current at the
junction of two different metals.
When a current is made to flowthrough the circuit, heat is evolved at
the upper junction (at T2), andabsorbed at the lower junction (at T1).The Peltier heat absorbed by the lower
junction per unit time, is equal to

THERMOELECTRIC EFFECTSJOULEAN EFFECT
Joule made a careful studyof the heat produced by an
electric current. From thisstudy, he developedJoule'slaws of heating, the firstof which is commonlyreferred to as theJouleeffect. Joule's first lawexpresses the relationshipbetween heat generated ina conductor and currentflow, resistance, and time

HOW DOES TER WORKS? The most efficientconfiguration is where a pand n TE component is putelectrically in series butthermally in parallel . Thedevice to the right is called acouple.
One side is attached to aheat source and the other aheat sink that convects the
heat away. The side facing the heat
source is considered thecold side and the side facingthe heat sink the hot side.

THERMOELECTRIC MODULE In practical use, couples are combined in a module
where they are connected electrically in series, andthermally in parallel.
a module is the smallest component commerciallyavailable. Modules are available in a great variety ofsizes, shapes, operating currents, perating voltages andranges of heat pumping capacity.
The present trend, however, is toward a larger numberof couples operating at lower currents. The user canselect the quantity, size or capacity of the module to fitthe exact requirement without paying for excess power.

COEFFICIENT OF PERFORMANCE
where,
From above equation we see that the performance of a thermoelectric
cooling system is a function of the parameter ZTm, where Z is called the
figure of merit. Z has units of reciprocal of temperature.

ADVANTAGES:-There is ease of interchanging the cooling and heating functions byreversing the direction of current in the thermocouple
Thermoelectric systems are vibration less and have no moving parts.
Hence there is no problem of wear and noise.
There is no problem of containment and pollution because norefrigerant or chemical is used.
Since there is no bulky equipment it provides ease of miniaturization
for small capacity systems.
The capacity can be controlled easily by varying the current and hence
the amount of heat absorbed or evolved at the junctions.
The system is highly reliable ( with a life of > 250,000 hours)
This system also has the capacity to operate under various values of
gravity (including zero gravity) and in any position.
