‘Tesca” Cooling using Peltier Effect Apparatus is designed to demonstrate cooling using the Peltier effect (Thermoelectric Effect). The central component of the system is a Peltier element. When current flows through a Peltier element, one end of the element becomes hot and the other cold. The heating and refrigeration capacity of the Peltier element are dissipated via water flows. Heating & refrigeration capacities are calculated by measuring the respective flow rate and the inlet and outlet temperatures of water. The supplied electrical power is determined using a current and voltage measurement.
