| Summary: | 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. Thermoelectric is made from two thin ceramic plates and in
the middle of this two plates consist of two semi conductor material in series denoted
as P-type and N-type. Current that flow through this thermoelectric will make N-type
has an excess of electrons or negative charge, while the P type material has a deficit
of electrons or positive charge. The combination of two types of semi conductor will
construct an electrical connection in series and thermal connection in parallel.
Electrons that moved from P-type to N-type will make one side cooled and vice
versa. The main focus in this project is to find the physical properties and
performance curve of thermoelectric module. The physical properties and
performance curve obtained from this experiment are compared to other journals and
previous research. Most of thermoelectric module manufacturer are not concern
about this matters. The experiment only focused on the cooling system. The concept
of thermoelectric module cooling system is used in various applications such as
mobile refrigerator in car connected to automobile cigarette lighter. The cooling
capacity of thermoelectric can be determined from the physical properties and the
performance curve. The value of physical properties of thermoelectric obtained from
this experiment are Seebeck coefficient, α = 0.0468 VoC-1, thermal conductivity, Kt
is 0.4074 WoC-1, and resistance R = 2.3603 Ω. |
