摘要：The outcome of the increased momentum in the progress on technology and science has created tons of varieties of system that can be used to create the effect of refrigeration. Such instrument that uses thermoelectric cooling is also called a Peltier heat pump or solid state refrigerator. It is mainly used in cooling systems although heating can also be achieved. It can act as a temperature controller that either heats or cool. The main advantage is that it is a solid state device and hence maintenance free. Thermoelectric refrigeration is a new alternative as it reduceselectricity consumption to produce cooling effect and also satisfies today’s energy challenges. Hence, the need for smartthermoelectric refrigeration in developing countries is very high where long life and low maintenance are needed. The purpose of this study is to fabricate a working smart thermoelectric Peltierrefrigerator to cool a volume of 4L that utilizes the Peltier effect to cool and maintain a selected temperature range of 3°C to 23°C. The design meets the purpose to cool this volume to required temperature within a short time and provide retention of at least 30 minutes. The design and fabrication of smart mini thermoelectric refrigerator are presented.
