According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "By utilizing Improved energy efficiency and cooling performance with less environmental impact are the goals of the present invention, which focuses on the design and development of a hybrid air conditioning system that integrates thermoelectric and vapor compression technologies. Despite their widespread use, traditional vapor compression air conditioning systems are energy intensive, difficult to fix, and environmentally damaging because they use refrigerants. While thermoelectric cooling systems offer several benefits-such as being small, quiet, and highly capable of temperature control-they aren't nearly as successful when used alone due to their inefficiency and lack of cooling capacity. by combining the best features of the two technologies, the proposed hybrid system is able to avoid these problems. The principal power source for cooling is the subsystem that is in charge of vapour compression. Thermoelectric modules, strategically positioned, aid in pre-cooling the air, sub-cooling the refrigerant, and providing localized cooling. The hybrid setup allows the compressor to work less, improves the coefficient of performance, and reduces power consumption overall. Even when the load and environment vary, the two subsystems can still work together thanks to a clever control mechanism, the created hybrid AC system is versatile and can be easily adjusted to meet the needs of different spaces, making it ideal for homes, offices, cars, and other areas that demand personalized cooling. By lowering their energy consumption, the amount of pressure on their components, and their dependency on refrigerants, air conditioning systems can become more eco-friendly, efficient, and long-lasting with the help of this technology. Keywords: Hybrid air conditioning, thermoelectric cooling, vapour compression system, Peltier effect, energy efficiency, sustainable cooling."
