Abstract

<jats:p>Thermo-Electric refrigeration is one of the recent developments in the field of refrigeration. The development of semiconductor technology enhanced the feasibility of Thermo-Electric applications to greater extent. Thermo-Electric refrigeration systems were worked based on the principle of Peltier effect, where the passage of direct electric current through the junction of two dissimilar semiconductor materials causes the junction to either cool down (absorbing heat) or warm up (rejecting heat) depending on direction of current. Cooling effect can be used for storage (refrigeration) purpose of materials like vegetables and fruits. The power is given by solar energy for Thermo-Electric system for cooling applications instead of conventional electric power.</jats:p>
