This paper describes the numerical modeling of the assimilated air conditioning system, with rectangular section canal. This device is equipped with Peltier modules for air conditioning of a bioclimatic habitat model. The analysis of the numerical results shows that the length (L) of the canal significantly influences the operation of the device. If length (L) ranging between 0.55 m and 0.95 m, the average outgoing temperature is 25.72°C while mass airflow ṁ=0.082kg.s−1 in April; 25.3°C and ṁ=0.81kg.s−1 in May; 25°C with ṁ= 0.080kg.s−1 in June. The analysis also shows that the side walls (h) of the device equipped with Peltier modules. The impact the functioning of the device and leads to new values for average temperatures released from the canal. These temperatures are 23.31°C in April, 22.55°C in May, and 22.06 in June. Also, the number of modules required for the whole device is 18. Overall, we present how this very simple device leads to better thermal comfort in hot regions.
