Mysuru: A Group of Final Year Electrical and Electronics Engineering students — Danish Junaidi, Syed Hasan, B. Satish and V. Preetham — from Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering (VVCE), Mysuru, have developed an “Eco-friendly Refrigerator Using Peltier Technology” model which was found to be adequate to improve efficiency of low efficient TECs (Thermo-Electric Cooler) and also save power. They were guided by Dr. Shoba Shankar, Head, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, VVCE.
The project implements the unique way of refrigerator using Peltier module. The refrigerator model has an interior cooling volume of 30*30*30 cubic centimetre, it can hold 27 litres. The refrigerator was able to reach an internal temperature of 6 degree Celsius. Its temperature is controlled using Temperature Duty cycle technique. The Peltier module is the main source for production of cold temperature.
