Analisa Performansi Mesin Pendingin Peltier Menggunakan Ansys CFD

Abstract

This study analyzes the performance of a cooling machine utilizing Peltier modules through numerical simulations conducted using ANSYS CFD. Peltier modules, known for their compact size and solid-state operation, are widely applied in thermoelectric cooling systems. The research focuses on evaluating the thermal behavior and overall cooling efficiency of the system under various operating conditions. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are employed to model heat transfer processes, including conduction, convection, and heat transfer within the Peltier module. Key performance metrics, such as temperature difference, cooling capacity, and COP value, are assessed to optimize the system's design and operation. The results provide valuable insights into the impact of design parameters on the cooling efficiency, offering guidelines for enhancing the performance of thermoelectric cooling devices. This study contributes to the development of sustainable and energy-efficient cooling solutions for industrial and domestic applications.
