Abstract

This paper presents theoretical and experimental works on the effect of heat transfer for a thermoelectric (TE) cooling system. The study focuses on thermal performance of the system through the optimisation of heat dissipation system for two prototypes that have aluminium and copper heat sink design, respectively. The study revealed that heat sink base area and fin height influenced thermal performance.
