AB - This study explores the principle of producing cold through heat absorption  at a temperature lower than ambient temperature, which requires the use of  an endothermic mechanism. Specifically, the study focuses on evaluating  multiple thermoelectric coolers using aluminum water heat exchangers as a  means of validating a proposed correlation through a series of experiments.  The system utilizes water as a coolant and a thermoelectric cooler coupled  with a heatsink to cool it. The cooling power of the system is controlled by  adjusting the temperatures of the hot and cold heatsinks and the coolant  flow through the heat exchanger based on governing equations. In addition to  assessing the cold-side temperature, the research also investigates the  system COP of the thermoelectric system. The results indicate that a  thermoelectric cooler with a lower thermal resistance is more effective at  cooling and can achieve a lower cold-side temperature. Conversely, a  cold-side heatsink with a higher thermal resistance provides lower cooling  power. Two experiments were conducted to acquire comprehensive data on the  thermoelectric devices, and the obtained results and experience were used to  categorize the utilization of the Peltier model. The first experiment  achieved an 84% success rate, while the second experiment achieved a rate of  around 97- 95%, highlighting the potential for further experimentation with  alternative configurations.
