“…Cooling TEC is an environmentally friendly cooling that can be used as a heat pump in solid form to increase the cooling energy generated. TEC cooling can be directly used using direct current (DC) electricity without using refrigerants and does not cause harmful effects to the environment [13][14][15]. In the TEC module, electrons in the n-type semiconductor and holes in the p-type semiconductor both move away from the cold-side to the hot-side when external DC power is applied [16].…”

The refrigeration system used to meet the needs of human life can be in the form of a thermoelectric cooler (TEC). Due to its small volume, environmental friendliness and several other advantages, TEC can be widely applied such as in fish cooler box. In this study, the cooler box used had dimensions of 290mm x 205mm x 254mm and were given twelve stacked 3 TEC modules with varied DC voltages. The purpose of this study is to determine the voltage that can provide the best TEC performance. This performance will be indicated by the Coefficient of Performance (COP) value of each voltage variation. The experimental results show that the best performance of the TEC is at 42 Volts. The lowest temperature achieved during the experiment was 7.74℃ on the cold-side.
