Abstract

Thermoelectric refrigeration system is expected to provide the best choice when compared to conventional refrigeration systems. However, unfortunately the performance is still very low. In this research was developed a thermoelectric refrigeration system and control system based on Arduino Uno. For this purpose was observed the effect of expanding the heatsink and multiplication of several thermoelectric cells on the temperature of the cold junction, cabin and COP. For this development was designed the system consisting of two parts, namely mechanics and electronics. The mechanical design includes the calculation of the cooling load and the selection of components and constructing the system. While the electronic design includes the design of control and monitoring systems. The design results show that for both expanding the heatsink-4 (HS-4) and multiplication of the HS-4 were obtained the minimum cold junction temperature, minimum cabin temperature, COP, energy consumption by -1.36⁰ C, 6.23⁰ C, 0.47, 0.31 kWh and -3.64⁰C, 1.93⁰C, 0.47, 1.23 kWh, respectively. The result also shows that the cold junction temperature is lower than the previous research temperature which ranges from 2.3 0C to 10.5 0C. In addition, the obtained results are better than previous researches.
