Therefore, four identical commercial TEC modules are sandwiched between four heat
sinks each for the hot side and the cold side.. The selection of the TEC modules and the
heat sinks are based on commercially available items that have the closest dimensions to
the one obtained from the optimized analytical design. As a result, four TEC modules
TE-127-1.0-2.5 (made by TETECHNOLOGY, INC) in addition to the four heat sinks of
ALPAH UB30-20B and four of ALPAH UB30-25B were used for the cold and hot sides,
respectively, for this experiment. A photograph of this experiment and detailed schematic
of the experimental setup is shown in Figure 5.3 (a) and (b), respectively.
