A Review on use of Peltier Effects

The research and development work carried out by different researchers on development of novel thermoelectric R&AC system has been thoroughly reviewed in this paper. In recent years, with the increase awareness towards environmental degradation due to the production, use and disposal of ChloroFluoro Carbons (CFCs) and Hydro Chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) as heat carrier fluids in conventional refrigeration and air conditioning systems has become a subject of great concern and resulted in extensive research into development of novel refrigeration and space conditioning technologies. Thermoelectric cooling provides a promising alternative R&AC technology due to their distinct advantages. Use of Thermoelectric effect to increase the COP of existing cooling system has been also reviewed
