    Design optimization of a thermoelectric cooling module by varying its geometric parameters through simulations
    (UMT, Lahore, 2019) Muhammad Javed
    The performance of a thermocouple module is based on its size and design depending upon its application. Another fact towards its optimization also includes the production cost which ultimately depends on the amount of material used for the manufacturing of the module. In this work, working performance of a thermoelectric cooling module is analyzed through finite element simulations in ANSYS software. Design of the modules is selected from a typical thermoelectric module used in commercial applications. Maximum temperature rise at hot and cold interface of the modules is analyzed with different boundary conditions. A 3D geometry of a single stage module is designed and sizes (width and height) of the p-type and n-type pellets and number of pellets in the module are changed to check its performance. Since every layer in the modules counts in its performance, therefore, to enhance the efficiency of a thermoelectric module, the impact of soldering layer on it is checked by varying its thickness.
