Abstract

This paper investigates the influence of using the Peltier module in enhancing the water-cooled internal combustion engine. The result of demonstrating model will be compared with the current vehicle (Sahin 1996, single overhead cam 1400 cm3) specification. Thermo Electric Cooler (TEC) or Peltier module converts the electric energy to heat energy. The performance of thermoelectric devices is still a challenge, and many approaches have been researched to overcome such obstacles. The result of modeling system temperature difference is from 40 % to 50 % established cooling system temperature difference on the former vehicle.
