Thermoelectric devices use the Peltier effect which creates a heat flux between the junctions of two different types of materials. The thermoelectric module also referred to as a heat pump transfers heat from one side to the other when a DC current is applied. This study carried out the theoretical and experimental analysis of a thermoelectric air conditioning system. A prototype thermoelectric air conditioner of 286 W cooling capacity was built and a testing enclosure made from plywood and Styrofoam was also constructed in order to validate the theoretical result with an experimentation. It was discovered that thermoelectric air conditioning took 4 minutes to reach its desired temperature of 22℃ whereas the standard air conditioning system (Refrigeration Cycle) took 20 minutes to cool to a room temperature. Economically it was also discovered that thermoelectric air conditioning system is 50% cheaper than the refrigeration cycle air conditioning systems. The thermoelectric air conditioner has cheaper maintenance and greater estimated life span of 7 years more than the refrigeration air conditioner. This is because the air conditioner that operates on the refrigeration cycle uses a rotating compressor while the thermoelectric air conditioner uses thermometric module.

Typically the split-type air conditioner uses a capillary tube as expansion device. To enhance the performance of the system, an ejector can be applied as expansion device to replace capillary tube. Based on the numerical modeling, the coefficient of performance (COP) of standard cycle using R410A as working fluid was slightly lower than that of R22. The use of an ejector as an expansion device on a split-type air conditioner using R410 increased the COP by 10.8%. Also, R410A has a lower total GWP impact compared with R22, which reduce negative impact on the environment.
