The intention behind this project was to study and analyse Peltier's effect and, based on the insights, create and realise an innovative application for the same. 1. About Peltier The Peltier effect is named after Jean Charles Peltier, who first observed it in 1834. The Peltier effect is a temperature difference created by applying a voltage between two electrodes connected to a sample of semiconductor material. Thermoelectric cooling uses the Peltier effect to create a heat flux at the junction of two different types of materials. A Peltier cooler, heater, or thermoelectric heat pump is a solid-state active heat pump that transfers heat from one side of the device to the other with the consumption of electrical energy, depending on the direction of the current. Such an instrument is also called a Peltier device, a Peltier heat pump, a solid-state refrigerator, or a thermoelectric cooler (TEC). It can be used for either heating or cooling, though cooling is the most common application. It can also be used as a temperature controller that either heats or cools.
