AB  - The study shows the comparison between thermoelectric refrigeration and vapor compression refrigeration. Three tests were carried out on 325 mL of water in a glass jar. The result shows that for the refrigerator freezer space, the temperature of the water decreased linearly with increasing time. However, for the thermoelectric refrigeration, the water temperature decreased exponentially with increasing time. In other words, cooling rate for the refrigerator was constant while for the thermoelectric it decreased exponentially. The study also shows that the freezer of a vapor compression refrigeration took 61 min to cool the water to 6°C while the thermoelectric 69 min. It can be seen that for the majority of the cooling time, the thermoelectric was cooling at a faster rate than the freezer. But by virtue of the exponential cooling versus linear cooling, cooling rate for the thermoelectric decreasing while the freezer cooling rate was constant throughout the cooling process.
