Computer simulation of a thermoelectric device for controlling the temperature of irrigation fluid during ophthalmological operations
Keywords:
thermoelectric cooling, irrigation fluid, surgery, ophthalmologyAbstract
A physical, mathematical and computer model of a thermoelectric device for controlling the temperature of irrigation fluid during ophthalmic operations has been created. Using computer simulation, the temperature distributions of the therapeutic fluid and inside the cooling unit have been obtained depending on the cooling capacity of the thermoelectric module, the flow rate of the therapeutic fluid and the length of the medical tube in which the cooled fluid circulates. The results of calculations and computer simulation are presented.
