Thermodynamic Analysis of a Thermoelectric Cooler Assisted with Solar Energy
Project no. 654 · Status: Kapanmış · 2017
Summary
Solar energy is one of the most important renewable energy sources. Electricity production directly from the sun is based on photovoltaic effect. In this field, nowadays, new devolopments have been seen, and its use in various applications have been increasing. In this study, a thermoelectric cooler system assisted with photovoltaic is designed, and investigated experimentally. As a result of the analysis, a cooler system with the size of 30*30*30cm is determined as the best size. It is obtained up to the temperature of 8.27oC in the cooler box depending on the ambient temperature.
