Use of Peltier Cells in the Cooling Process

Abstract— Peltier cells represent an interesting alternative to conventional cooling methods and are currently being used in areas where conventional cooling methods are not suitable. They can produce heat and cold when supplied with electricity. The article discusses the possibilities of using Peltier cell technology in the cooling processes of electronic components in an environment where it is not possible to use conventional cooling methods due to their size or the inappropriateness of the given type of cooling. It compares cooling options and describes basic power calculation procedures to cover cooling power needs. Thermoelectric cooling has several advantages, including the absence of a cooling medium, the possibility of precise temperature regulation, small dimensions and a relatively long service life.
