Abstract

Thermoelectric module is a device that converts electrical energy to cold and hot temperature and it is called Peltier effect. This cooling system used direct current (DC) as a power supply. The concept of thermoelectric module cooling system is used in various applications such as mobile refrigerator in car connected to automobile cigarette lighter. The main focus in this project is to determine the coefficient of performance and temperature distribution of the thermoelectric device during operation. This analysis method is by using the Solidworks 2005 modeling software combined with Finite element method MSC NastranlPatran. This project has to compare the coefficient of performance between simulation analysis and previous experimental result. The current and voltage cannot be applied to the simulation. From the analysis results, the influence of heating load and input current can be shown. Thermoelectric module makes the aluminum block cooler. The behavior of Coefficient of performance graph for simulation analysis is showed and it is similar to experimental data. The coefficient of performance for the thermoelectric cooling module decrease with increasing of current, I for experiment and simulation analysis.
