•PROBLEM STATEMENT – To design a
machine which can extract water from
moisture present in air.
OBJECTIVE
To design a water cooler using peltier module.
To design a cooling system for themoelectric cooler.
To design a pump.
• Humidity
The atmosphere contains billions
gallons of water in the form of
water vapors.
This water vapor can be
measured in relative humidity of
air.
Whenever the temperature of a
object go below the dew point
temperature, we can find dews on
the surface.
Such water is potable.
• EXTRACTING
WATER FROM
EVAPORATOR.
Evaporator of the air conditioner
is always below dew point
temperature because of which
water is always condensed from
domestic a.c.
We can collect this water by
making a water collection tank in
it.
Instead of using A.C , we will be
using thermoelectric cooler using
peltier module for cooling of the
water.
• What is
THERMOELECTRIC
COOLER
 Thermoelectric cooling use
peltier effect to produce heat flux
at junction of two different types of
material.
The Seebeck effect is the
electromotive force (emf ) that
develops across two points of an
electrically conducting material
when there is a temperature
difference between them. Where
emf=s*(v2-v1).
The Peltier effect is the reverse
phenomenon of the Seebeck effect,
the electrical current flowing
through the junction connecting
two materials will emit or absorb
heat per unit time at the junction
• WATER COOLER
BY PELTIER
MODULE
With the help of peltier effect we
can make a water cooler whose
temperature can be bought down
to few degree Celsius.
•STRUCTURE OF PROJECT
1. Water cooler is made with the help of peltier module
. The equipment used would be power adapter ,
power supply, pielter module, heat sink( fans and
fins), and a water container.
2) PUMP AND COPPER COILS ARE USED FOR
CIRCULATION.
 Once we have made a water cooler we will circulate
this water in copper coil which are used as evaporator
in the A.C.
 This cold water when circulate in coils it will make the
surface of coil below dew point temperature so that
water can be condensed in a water collection tank.
CALCULATIONS
1]The payoff of the project

a)Specification of peltier module

i] Electricity consumption = 72 Watt
ii] Maximum heat flux = 60 Watt
iii] Maximum temperature difference = 40°c
Iv] !2 volts and 6 ampere

b)Consider three peltier module project with ambient atmospheric condition

● To = 30°C
● Po= 1 atm
● relative humidity = 60%
● specific humidity =16 grams moisture kg of air...(calculated from psychrometric chart)
● dew point temperature = 19°C
-Since we have 3 peltier module which can extract 60 watt of heat
from water, Total amount of heat removed in one hour will be
Q = 3 x 60 x 60 x 60 = 648 000 Joules.

- We know characteristic of air Cp = 1.002 KJ/kg

MaCp (t2-t1) = Q…….(ma = mass of air)
For us to achieve 15c temperature difference we have

-ma(1.002)=648000J
therefore Ma = 43.2 Cools down to 15c
Hence amount of water condensed = Ma(W1-W2) =432ml
Conclusions
 1 If we use 3 pettier modules we will get 432 ml of
water per hour. If we take 6 peltier modules we will get
864 ml.
2] In summer, relative humidity is 90%. So in
optimum case we can get up to 1.9 Litre of water for 6
peltier module project .
3] Cost for one litre of water.

 Electricity consumed by 3 peltier module per hour

= 12 volts * 6ampene x 3600 155.200 KJ = 0.072 kiloWatt

hence average cost per Watt hour is 3Rs

Also we know for one hour 432 ml of water is extracted

Therfore for 3 peltier modulecost per unit = 34 × 0·072

kWh= 0.432 0.5rs per liter
Conclusion
we can extract 2 liters of water for 1 rupee.
 If we use this machine for a month to extract 8 litre
per day it will cost 120 rupee
