Abstract

Thermoelectric refrigeration system is considered environmentally friendly because it does not use refrigerants which have huge potential damaging the ozone layer. In this experimental work, u-shape heat pipe with heat sink was charged with methanol working fluid with different filling ratios to observe its effect on the thermoelectric performance. The cooler box has 240 mm x 180 mm x 130 mm of inner dimension. 37.3 watt DC power supply supplied constantly to the thermoelectric module to performed cooling action. The result shows that methanol with 45% and 55% filling ratios has the maximum COP about 0.03881 and 0.03885 respectively. This filling ratio also provides for a lower cabin temperature and temperature difference between the cold and hot thermoelectric sides.
