Abstract
In this paper, a novel thermoelectric cooling system utilizing condensed water is introduced and its electrical equivalent circuit model is proposed. The introduced system can deals with the condensed water and improves efficiency by spraying the condensed water on heat sink. The electrical equivalent circuit model is derived by combining the circuit model of the classical thermoelectric cooling system with equation of heat exchange. Because the parameters of the model can be defined from not other experimental data but just the data sheet of the thermoelement, the model can be useful to design and develop the controller of the proposed system. We verify that the proposed model is valid and the introduced system is more efficient than the previous thermoelectric cooling system through simulations.
