Development and Investigation of Air-Cooled Thermoelectric Air-Conditioner
|
Abstract:
In order to protect environment,it is very important to explore a new refrigeration method.For its unique characteristic,thermoelectric refrigeration is applied in some conditions.Numerical simulation has been developed for the air cooled thermoelectric air conditioner by experimental simulation on heat insulating materials with different thickness,structure shapes,work conditions and air flow capacities.The model and the method have been verified.The effects of the figure of merit of thermoelectric material and the heat transfer coefficient of cool/heat side on the performance of the air conditioner are analyzed by the model.
