Hi Adam,
It looks like you want to know more about how to design a temperature control system using Peltier modules. To build and integrate the Simulink model, you can refer to the following steps:
- Model the components of a Peltier module and a Fan. To model a Peltier module, you can create a subsystem that models the heating and cooling behaviour. You can use a transfer function or a state-space model to represent the thermal dynamics.
- You can then use a “constant’/’Slider Gain” block to allow user to set the desired temperature.
- Simulation of a temperature sensor can then be done using a “Gain” block that converts the actual temperature to a sensor reading.
- To implement the control logic, you can use a Stateflow chart to compare the actual and desired temperature. Then based on the comparison, you can turn the Peltier module on/off and active the fan to circulate air.
- For integration, you can combine all the subsystems into a single model using ‘Mux’ block to combine signals and ‘Demux’ blocks to split them as needed.
For more resources regarding building control systems, you can refer the following documentations:

Hope this helps!
