A refrigeration effect can also be achieved without using any moving parts by simply passing
a small current through a closed circuit made up of two dissimilar materials. This effect is
called the Peltier effect, and a refrigerator that works on this principle is called a
thermoelectric refrigerator.
Thermo Electeric cooling devices are favorable in electronics cooling systems because of
their high reliability, flexibility in packaging and integration, low weight and ability to
maintain a low junction temperature, even below ambient temperature.
Also, other cooling devices that can fit the tiny spaces required for electronics cooling, such
as, a capillary loop heat or a miniature scale vapor compression refrigerator are not
commercially available.
