Effect of Heat Sink Configuration on the Performance of Thermoelectric Refrigeration

Abstract

In the present study, effect of heat sink configuration on the performance of the thermoelectric refrigerator system is studied. Heat Sink is one of the important components of the thermoelectric system, the configuration of which can directly affect the heat removal from the refrigeration system. Three different fin configurations are considered for the small-scale vaccine thermoelectric refrigerator. The mathematical modelling for thermoelectric cooler and the heat sink design is carried out to study the effect of the fin configuration, on the performance of the thermoelectric refrigerator.
