A hybrid cooling system comprising a compressor (10) for compressing a gas refrigerant, a condenser (20) for condensing the refrigerant compressed in the compressor to a liquid state, an expansion (30) device for expanding the refrigerant condensed in the condenser, and an evaporator (40) for heat-exchanging the expanded refrigerant with ambient air, thereby evaporating the refrigerant. This hybrid cooling system further comprises a thermoelectric module (50) for re-cooling the air, which has been cooled in accordance with the heat exchange in the evaporator, using a Peltier effect generated in accordance with an electrical co-operation of P-type and N-type semiconductor elements (53, 54) included in the thermoelectric module with current flowing through the semiconductor elements.
The invention also relates to the application of such a cooling system in a freezer or a refrigerator.
