The application research of semiconductor thermoelectric effect in refrigeration equipment has become a popular field. Compared with the cooling of the compressor, it has the advantages of small size, no moving parts and noise, with no pollution and low energy consumption. At present, the semiconductor refrigeration sheet is widely used in various kinds of thermoelectric refrigeration applications, and has entered the commercial use, to adapt to the medical instruments, electronic equipment and equipment, infrared detectors, etc. This review reviews recent advances in this field. The unique characteristics of thermoelectric materials make it an effective refrigeration technology with the advantages of being environmentally friendly, efficient and reliable. The study in this paper uses some samples with some laboratory instruments to obtain the performance parameters of refrigeration sheet samples, which has important reference value for promoting the application of semiconductor thermoelectric effect in refrigeration equipment.
