Experimental Investigation of the Cooling Effect Generated by a Heat Sink Integrated Thermoelectric-Based U-Shaped Air-Conditioning System

Over the past years, thermoelectric refrigeration has attracted considerable attention due to its compact size, reliability, and environmental friendliness. Traditional refrigeration systems use greenhouse gases, which significantly impacts our environment. Therefore, in this work, a thermoelectric...

A heat sink was attached to the cold side of the thermoelectric cooler (TEC) to cool the air passing through the heat sink.
