Title: Investigation of the Efficiency of a Peltier Element †
Keywords: efficiency, measurement and monitoring system, Peltier effect

Abstract: This paper presents the implementation of a modern approach for automatic measurement, data acquisition, and processing using custom-developed software based on the ARDUINO version: 2.3.6 platform. State-of-the-art sensing elements are employed for enhanced precision and reliability. The obtained results are graphically visualized for comprehensive analysis. The ARDUINO microcontroller and its associated open-source programming environment are primarily designed for general-purpose users rather than specialized industrial applications. The study focuses on the experimental investigation of the characteristics of a Peltier element. The interdependence between current, voltage, internal resistance, and temperature differential is examined in detail. The findings concerning efficiency analysis are intended to support students across various engineering disciplines during their educational process.
