Refrigeration is vital in daily life and industries, traditionally relying on single-system cooling. The two predominant kinds of cooling are vapor compression refrigeration (VCR) thermoelectric (TEC). Each these single systems has its own disadvantages, such as higher input energy requirements lower efficiency. However, the effect integration VCR TEC for achieving performance with not been well studied reported existing literature. Therefore, aim this study to conduct a thorough investigation into an integrated system that combines TEC. This allows switching between based specific requirements, leveraging high coefficient (COP) benefits Three configurations have studied, each them three operating conditions: alone, hybrid VCR. Configuration I corresponds results from individual test. In II, hot end module installed at insulation layer compartment. III, cold positioned III demonstrated good by reducing time required reach target temperature. It took 40 min alone temperature 11.1 °C, 13 only 9.6 system. shows increased versatility potential future applications, providing valuable insight optimizing advanced technologies. Furthermore, economic sustainability standpoint, proposed advantageous ambitious it offers superior capacity greater efficiency than current systems.
