We have developed a computational model which allows the simulation of a thermoelectric device to
make ice cubes in a vapour compression domestic fridge. This model solves both the thermoelectric
and heat transfer equations, including the phase change equations in the ice cube production.
The inputs of the model are: the thermoelectric parameters as a function of the temperature; dimensions;
material properties (thermal resistances and capacities) and the boundary conditions (room temperature
and voltage supplied to the Peltier module). The outputs are the values of the temperature for all
the elements of the thermoelectric ice-maker and the ice production.
