Abstract
This project presents the design, development, and experimental testing of a compact
thermoelectric air-cooling system utilizing TEC1-12706 Peltier modules. The cooling chamber was
constructed using plywood, internally insulated with dapron foam and lined with aluminum foil to
minimize heat gain. A hybrid cooling mechanism was employed on the hot side, combining a water
block and air-cooled fins for efficient heat dissipation.
To evaluate system performance, two sets of tests were conducted: one indoors under
controlled room conditions and one outdoors under direct sunlight. In indoor testing we achieve a
maximum temperature drop of 20.4 degree in 10 minutes. While in outdoor we achieve a
temperature drop of 10 degree this is because due to sunlight contact the initial temperature is very
high around 60 degrees.
The results of this study show the importance of insulation, sealing, and environmental
conditions in thermoelectric system performance. This system is best for eco-friendly and portable
cooling applications.
