Abstract

Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) have a high potential to dominate traditional air conditioning and become the future of HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning). TECs offer several advantages over traditional air conditioning systems, most notably in terms of zero greenhouse gas emissions, a leak-free environment, and cost efficiency. Despite all these concerns, efficient cooling performance and energy consumption are two major barriers for the rapid adoption of TECs. This article provides a comprehensive literature review of recent developments and challenges in implementing TECs to increase energy consumption and cooling performance. In particular, through the development of components and physical parameters such as thermoelectric material, the effect of fluid flow and the geometry of the heat sink of the thermoelectric cooling system. In addition, the articles will highlight the significant opportunities for thermoelectric applications to achieve economic and environmental benefits. Thermoelectric cooling with the latest conversion efficiency is technically practical and economical for small and micro applications in the current scenario. If thermoelectric cooling is applied on a large and medium scale in commercial practice, it would further develop green technology that improves environmental conditions as well as the energy supply.
