Abstract :Environmental pollution, inadequacy of clean drinking water and energy are the most important problems of our time. With the increasing population, the need for energy and clean drinking water has also increased. In addition, environmental pollution is increasing with the wastes generated as a result of increasing industrialization. Thermoelectric (TE) technology is one of the technologies that will bring solutions to the fields of heating, cooling and energy production. In addition, the fact that it does not cause environmental pollution brings thermoelectric technologies to the fore. Studies on improving the parameters of ice machines that make up the thermoelectric cooling industry are increasing day by day. For this type of research, it is necessary to examine the characteristics of ice machines. In this study, TES Thermoelectric Ltd. for the first time in the world. Research has been carried out to improve the parameters of the Turkish patented (Patent No: 2014-14588) thermoelectric ice machine produced in the company. For this, all parameters of the thermoelectric ice machine (TEIM), which is electricity and water efficient, environmentally friendly and with heat pipe, were examined experimentally. This invention, whose patent has received a gold medal in the world, not only solved the environmental, energy and water problems, but also brought a new concept area and solution proposal for the ice consumption and production of human beings. It has been determined that the experimental results obtained are the same as the theoretical calculation results within the error limits.
