Thermoelectric refrigeration is operated by a direct current passing through a circuit formed by two dissimilar conductors or semiconductors that produce a temperature difference at the junction of two conductors. This is called Peltier effect and thermoelectric refrigerator uses the Peltier module sandwiched by two heat exchangers.
