Abstract
This paper presents the design and development of a two-in-one refrigerator and heating system utilizing Peltier modules, which are semiconductor devices capable of both heating and cooling through the Peltier effect. In this system, the refrigerator and heating share a common Peltier module setup, with one side of the module providing cooling for refrigeration, while the opposite side generates heat for the heating. A controlled mechanism is introduced to isolate the two compartments and maintain appropriate temperatures for each function. Temperature regulation is achieved through sensors and microcontroller-based control circuits, which dynamically adjust the electric current to optimize performance for both heating and cooling processes. COP Cooling capacity and Cooling power is analyzed for different input parameters
