A residential surface water tank is normally exposed to ambient conditions. Evaporation of water from such a source, using a Peltier device is expected to results in variation of energy efficiency for a system due to variation of ambient temperature. In this research work local conditions of city of Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan are considered. A MATLAB Simulation was performed to find out the seasonal energy efficiency variation for Peltier based evaporation. The results show that there is significant variation of energy of evaporation process due to seasonal variation ambient conditions.
