The performance of heat transfer enhancing is used thermoelectric refrigeration devices with nanofluid in a minichannel heat exchanger is experimentally investigated. The thermoelectric cooler (TEC 1-12708T125) with a ΔTmax of 125 °C is used to haul out heat from the refrigeration, which is operated on solar battery energy system. The designed evaporator section normally operates with the heating power range on nearly 300W which is calculated as the input power to the thermoelectric module. The aluminium oxide-water based nanofluid with volume concentrations of 0.1% is use as the coolant to remove the heat from the hot body of the test section. The flow is operated on forced convection system. The result showed 40 % enhancement in the coefficient of performance (COP) of thermoelectric module for 0.1% of nanoparticle volume concentration. So the combination in solid state and liquid (nanofluid) of refrigeration system and solar energy is promising cooling techniques for future applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
