Abstracts: In recent years, with the increase awareness towards environmental degradation due to the production, use and disposal of Chloro Fluoro Carbons (CFCs) and Hydro Chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) as heat carrier fluids in conventional refrigeration and air conditioning systems has become a subject of great concern and resulted in extensive research into development of novel refrigeration and space conditioning technologies. Thermoelectric cooling provides a promising alternative Refrigeration technology due to their distinct advantages. A brief introduction of thermoelectricity, principal of thermoelectric cooling and thermoelectric materials has been presented in this report. The research and development work carried out by different researchers on development of novel thermoelectric Refrigeration system has been thoroughly reviewed in this report.
