Description
The experimental unit demonstrates cooling using the Peltier
effect. Peltier elements utilise the thermoelectric effect of some
semiconductors. The thermoelectric effect is the reverse of the known
thermopower effect which is e.g. used when measuring temperatures using
thermocouplers. If current flows through a Peltier element, one end of the
semiconductor becomes hot and the other cold. By a suitable connection of p-
and n-doped semiconductor materials the refrigeration capacity can be increased
sufficiently to be usable.
The benefits of cold production using Peltier elements are:
Peltier elements are wear and maintenance-free, noiseless, independent of
position and easy to adjust in their refrigeration capacity via the supply
voltage. In addition, no refrigerants are required. Peltier elements are used
for small capacities in thermography as beverage chillers or in medical
engineering. Their low efficiency is a disadvantage.
