Abstract

In this paper, a heat pump using a Peltier device was developed for heat dissipation in a sealed electric box. The heat pump was designed with a cooling fin attached to both sides of the Peltier device, and a fan was mounted on the cooling fin on the hot side to increase the efficiency. The heat dissipation efficiency could be improved by directly connecting the electronic component having high heat to the cooling fin using a heat conducting wire. The fabricated heat pump was designed to operate only in the temperature range set by the temperature control system to improve the problem of high power consumption of the Peltier element.
