Item no.: P2410800
Principle
The (cooling capacity) heating capacity and efficiency rating of a Peltier heat pump are determined under different operating conditions.
Tasks
- To determine the cooling capacity Pc the pump as a function of the current and to calculate the efficiency rating hc at maximum output.
- To determine the heating capacity Pw of the pump and its efficiency rating hw at constant current and constant temperature on the cold side.
- To determine Pw, η w and Pc , ηc from the relationship between temperature and time on the hot and cold sides.
- To investigate the temperature behaviour when the pump is used for cooling, with the hot side air-cooled.
