Cooling system by semiconductor (Peltier Effect)

Abstract

The demand for efficient and compact cooling solutions has driven significant research and development in the field of semiconductor-based cooling systems. This paper explores the application of the Peltier effect in designing a cooling system that leverages semiconductor materials to achieve enhanced thermal management. The Peltier effect, which involves the absorption or release of heat at a junction between two dissimilar materials when an electric current is applied, forms the fundamental principle behind this innovative cooling approach. The proposed cooling system employs Peltier modules comprising semiconductor materials with optimized thermoelectric properties. By strategically arranging these modules in a thermally sensitive environment, the Peltier effect is harnessed to actively transfer heat away from a targeted area. This paper discusses the design considerations, material selection criteria, and optimization techniques applied to maximize the efficiency of the cooling system.
