- Leverhulme Trust funded the work, mimicking waste-heat driven chillers. The concomitant CO2 reduction impacts on 15% of total electricity used for cooling in western economies. Peltier modules were used as heat sources/ sinks for the first time, enabling low-cost direct measurement of the heat flows characterizing efficiency, and applied in a later paper to the operation and design of a respectable sized chiller. The paper precedes new work in this area by leading researchers such as Yuri Aristiov of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The paper details the scrupulous attention necessary for equipment calibration, heat balance and error analysis.
