  • Abstract
    A solar energy semiconductor cooling box is presented in the paper. The cooling box is compact and easy to carry, can be made a special refrigeration unit which is smaller according to user needs. The characteristics of the cooling box are its simple use and maintenance, safe performance, decentralized power supply, convenient energy storage, no environmental pollution, and so on. In addition, compared with the normal mechanical refrigeration, the semiconductor refrigeration system which makes use of Peltier effect does not require pumps, compressors and other moving parts, and so there is no wear and noise. It does not require refrigerant so it will not produce environmental pollution, and it also eliminates the complex transmission pipeline. The concrete realization form of power are “heat - electric - cold”, “light - electric - cold”, “light - heat - electric - cold”. In order to achieve the purpose of cooling, solar cells generate electricity to drive the semiconductor cooling devices. The working principle is mainly photovoltaic effect and the Peltier effect.
