    This document discusses the fabrication of a thermoelectric cooler using the Peltier effect. A Peltier cooler operates by transferring heat from one side of the device to the other when electric current is applied, depending on the direction of the current. While less commonly used than vapor-compression refrigeration, Peltier coolers have no moving parts and can be made in small, flexible form factors, though they are generally less efficient. The document outlines the advantages and disadvantages of Peltier coolers and provides a structural diagram of a Peltier cooler system using a microcontroller, temperature sensor, and buzzer.

    FABRICATION OF THERMOELECTRIC COOLER BY PELTIER

    PRINCIPLE

    SYNOPSIS

    Thermoelectric cooling uses the Peltier effect to create a


    heat flux between the junction of two different types of materials. A Peltier cooler,
    heater, or thermoelectric heat pump is a solid-state active heat pump which
    transfers heat from one side of the device to the other, with consumption of
    electrical energy, depending on the direction of the current. Such an instrument is
    also called a Peltier device, Peltier heat pump, solid state refrigerator, or
    thermoelectric cooler (TEC). They can be used either for heating or for cooling
    (refrigeration), although in practice the main application is cooling. It can also be
    used as a temperature controller that either heats or cools.

    This technology is far less commonly applied to refrigeration than vapor-


    compression refrigeration is. The main advantages of a Peltier cooler (compared to
    a vapor-compression refrigerator) are its lack of moving parts or circulating liquid,
    and its small size and flexible shape (form factor). Its main disadvantage is that it
    cannot simultaneously have low cost and high power efficiency. Many researchers
    and companies are trying to develop Peltier coolers that are both cheap and
    efficient.
    A Peltier cooler can also be used as a thermoelectric generator. When operated as a
    cooler, a voltage is applied across the device, and as a result, a difference in
    temperature will build up between the two sides.[2] When operated as a generator,
    one side of the device is heated to a temperature greater than the other side, and as
    a result, a difference in voltage will build up between the two sides (the Seebeck
    effect). However, a well-designed Peltier cooler will be a mediocre thermoelectric
    generator and vice-versa, due to different design and packaging requirements.
    Above block is used to represent the system based on TEC and temperature
    sensor. The output of sensor is given to the microcontroller to read temperature.
    ADVANTAGES
    1. It is one of the Eco friendly device
    2. It can be very effectively used medicine protection system
    3. No moving parts so maintenance is required not needed
    frequently.
    4. Temperature control within fraction of degrees

    DISADVANTAGES
    1. It cannot be used in large size.
    2. Only limited amount of heat able to dissipate.
