NICHE:
Nowadays, we are all aware that the world experiences energy shortage in most aspects of work. For
this, increasing alternative energy sources became a big demand and had increased in attention for the
past decades. Efficient energy consuming became a focus for saving energy sources, wherein less waste
energy is expected. Studies about this concern helped the development of certain energy source
alternatives, like a thermoelectric device. As a certain application for having alternative energy source,
Thermoelectric devices are studied and implemented in refrigeration system [1][3][10] [11] [13][15].
Thermoelectric devices were used as refrigeration systems for household refrigerators, medical
equipments (i.e., vaccines), and vehicles. Together with the growing demand of air-conditioning
systems, thermoelectric devices were also studied as a replacement for the commonly used refrigerants
in air conditioners [7][12], and implemented with an alternative energy source like a solar cell[9], to
provide energy and air-conditioning also. It is also used to control temperature for micro-thermostat
active heating and cooling [14]. As a heat pump [5][8], thermoelectric devices can also be used as water
heater in replacement for electrical heat devices [4]. For air-flow systems, the cold or hot temperature
can be delivered by convection, such as blowers [2][6]. The purpose of this study is to create a novel
design of implementing water cooling and heating in a water dispenser using the hot and cold sides of a
thermoelectric device.
SCAMPER: ADAPT. The thermoelectric device is intended to replace the heating and cooling systems of
water dispensers, by applying the concept of a thermoelectric device’s hot side which produces heat and
the cold side which produces coldness.
