SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC BASED THERMOELECTRIC COOLING SYSTEM FOR CARS

Research Profile

The main objective of this project is to design a flexible PV array, intermediate power controller unit and thermoelectric cooling system installed on a conventional blower of car AC. The idea of cooling is based on Peltier effect, as when a dc current flows through TE modules it generates a heat transfer and temperature difference across the ceramic substrates causing one side of the module to be cold and the other side to be hot. The purpose of the project is to make use of the cold side to cool the ambient air to a lower temperature, so that it can be used for reducing the car temperature by at least 7- 8 degrees reducing the load on the main HVAC system of the car. Also when car is parked, the thermoelectric cooler will keep inner car temperature below ambient temperature thereby reducing the initial temperature jerk on car’s HVAC system when it is started.

Research Profile

The development process of the Electric Vehicle (EV) is interesting, as the first documented invention of an EV dates back to 1834. Due to the lack of technology, primarily for electrochemical storage units, the interest in EVs gradually diminished and ceased to receive attention after 1920. In the early 1970s, circumstances changed in favour of the EV concept due to the dramatic increase in petroleum prices concerns about climate changes. Again EV technology sees a renewed interest. The primary design challenges in EVs having multiple Energy storage system lies in managing the net energy expenditure, determining the proportional power split and establishing the methods to determine power split to interface between energy systems. Present researchers are exploring combined usage of multiple-energy storage systems and to obtain high utilization efficiency.
