Abstract:
The purpose of this project is been to investigate the possibility of heating and cooling
air by connecting Peltier Elements to a PV panel. The idea was initiated by Energiteknik i
Teckomatorp AB, a company that provides heat pumps and coolers to small scale businesses
and private customers. In the recent years, we all are facing electricity crisis. It’s time to
harness the renewable energy resources of the nature. Our project utilizes the solar energy to
run a heating and cooling system. In this project we have fabricated a thermoelectric system
using solar energy. It is an eco-friendly project, made by using thermoelectric module. The
project supports both heating and cooling. The project has various applications like, military
or aerospace, medical and pharmaceutical equipment etc. Thus it proves to be very
helpful.This will be a suitable & affordable system for the people living in remote part of
India where load-shading is a major problem. The major difference between the existing
system & our system is that, our project works without use of mechanical device & without
refrigerant too.
As the module is compact in size one can design (i.e. shape, capacity) the system
according to his requirement. In this paper an attempt has been made to conduct an
experimental study on small scale solar operated thermoelectric Heating & Cooling system.
