In this study, experiments are performed to investigate the coupling of thermoelectric module and rectangular fin heat sink subjected to an impacting air jet for cooling desktop microprocessors. A controlled thermoelectric test system was conceived and performed for this purpose. The control of the thermoelectric forced air combined cooling system was designed on the basis of electronic Arduino card. The proposed thermoelectric forced convection cooling combined system was compared with the conventional forced air cooling technique. Three electrical powers for the heat source (CPU) were adopted and compared in this experimental study: 60, 87 and 95 W. Performance of thermoelectric cooling module with three preset temperature was experimentally investigated below diverse working conditions. Effects of thermoelectric input current and air jet velocity on the case temperature (Tcase) were analysed. The thermoelectric cooler had a considerable effect on the cooling of the CPU. However, the consumption of the energy was also augmented. Experimental results indicated that the cooling effect improved with increasing of thermoelectric operating current. However, Temperature of the heat source increased with high power input of the CPU. For a power input of 95 W of the CPU, the Tcase was maintained under 50 °C with thermoelectric input power of 45 and 5.8 W for the fan, giving improvement around 15% comparing to conventional forced air cooling.read more
