Rancang Bangun Kulkas Portable Menggunakan Termoelektrik dengan Efek Peltier

Abstract

In the modern era, the demand for portable cooling devices is increasing, especially for medical, travel, or outdoor activities. Conventional refrigerators have limitations in terms of mobility and energy consumption. Therefore, this study designs a portable refrigerator using thermoelectric technology based on the Peltier effect as its cooling system. This system is more environmentally friendly as it does not use harmful refrigerants and is smaller in size with better energy efficiency. Additionally, the system supports the use of renewable energy sources as an alternative power supply, making it more sustainable and energy-efficient. The test results show that this portable refrigerator can achieve the required temperature with minimal power consumption, making it suitable for portable applications and supporting energy sustainability.
