Abstract

The main objective of our project is to design & make analysis of a Heating & Cooling system which utilizes non-conventional energy source (i.e. Solar Energy) with the help of Thermoelectric Module which works on the principle of the Peltier effect. 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.
