II.OBJECTIVE
[6] The fan takes in air from the atmosphere which goes over
the cold water and looses all its moisture and heat. The water
in the cold tank is cooled with the help of the Peltier module
and the other side of the Peltier module gives out heat which
is being trapped in the hot tank containing sand. Inside the hot
tank goes a coil of copper tube through which the water is Fig: 2.2:-CAD Model of Prototype

the out let of the pump so that with the help of throttling

pump and it again enters the hot tank. It is being done to keep [6]Thermo electric cooling based on Peltier effect for
the temperature of the sand in the hot tank low. The water creating a heat flux between two different types of materials
with reduced temperature in the copper tube again takes heat forming a junction. An advantage of using Peltier module is
from the sand in the hot tank and goes out like this way the lack of moving parts or circulating liquid, small size,
cycle continues. And the cool air formed in the cold tank is invulnerable to leaking. Also the current consumption of the
pulled out by the other fan. The fans on the both side of the Peltier module is very less. Therefore with less current

concentrate it inside the cold tank we use air ducts on both
fans. Also for the full contact of air from out side and water
inside the cold tank we have made two slots on both sides of
the cold tank. And for getting maximum heat transfer
between air and water forced convection is being used. Sand
is known to have good absorber of heat so the hot tank is
filled up with fine sand. Copper tube with reducing
cross-sectional area is inserted inside the hot tank to maintain
the temperature at the hot tank. For keeping a continuous Fig 1.3: CAD Model of Peltier Module[18]
flow of water inside the copper tube in the hit tank a 1.6m 2.1.2 Air duct
pump head is being used. A thin duct manufactured using Galvanized Iron sheet (GI
sheet) of 0.5 mm thickness is been used. The GI sheet is used
due to its high mach inability and flexibility. The different
parts are cut out and fixed together. The have to carry the
weight of the fan while it is operating. Also it should be able
to direct the air completely in and out of the cold tank
effective.
Two fans of 24v DC, 1.38 amps are used. One fan which is fitted
in the air duct on one side is used to draw in the outside air and sent
it through the slit over the cold water in the cold tank. The other fan
will suck out the air which has lost all its moisture and is now cold to
the outside atmosphere.
