THE EFFECT OF SINUSOIDAL RIPPLE CURRENT UPON THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE ACROSS A THERMOELECTRIC COOLING DEVICE.
Abstract
This paper is an examination of the effect of supply current ripple upon thermoelectric cooling device performance. A theoretical equation is derived that relates cooling device performance as a function of the driving electrical current. This equation is then verified with data obtained in tests on a practical cooling device. The effect of ripple was determined to be a decrease in the attainable temperature drop across the device.
