Peltier device can be call it as solid state refrigerator, or thermoelectric cooler. It can be used either for heating or for cooling, although in practice the main application is cooling. It can also be used as a temperature controller that either heats or cools. Portable cooling is something we all have wanted for a long time.A heat sink (also commonly spelled heatsink) is a passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device to a fluid medium, often air or a liquid coolant, where it is dissipated away from the device, thereby allowing regulation of the device's temperature at optimal levels.

Air conditioning is the process of removing heat and moisture from the interior of an occupied space, to improve the comfort of occupants. Air conditioning can be used in both domestic and commercial environments. This process is most commonly used to achieve a more comfortable interior environment, typically for humans and animals; however, air conditioning is also used to dehumidify rooms filled with heat-producing electronic devices, such as computer servers, power amplifiers, and even to display and store some delicate products, such as artwork.
Components:
Peltier
Heatsink
Thermal Isolator
Supporting Frame
Switch
Screws & Joints
Project Implementation:
Here we demonstrate a mini cooler using Peltier based cooling. The mini cooler uses Peltier along with heatsink, mini fan, thermal isolation covering switch based arrangement to achieve maximum cooling. Our system allows for portable cooling using a small device. We fabricate device by using the Peltier in a particular arrangement with heatsink coupled with thermal isolation in order to achieve the maximum cooling in such a small setup.
