Solar powered portable food warmer and cooler based on peltier effect

The advancement in electronics has escalated the progress that is being made in semiconductor industries and has become one of the prime factors of dependency in today's world. Minimal power consumption and miniaturization of the semiconductor chips are the major features that lead the table of why this industry is a top notch one. During the course of time, various branches of science have joined hands to make bigger technological advancements. One of the most popular combinations being Mechanical and Electronics, called Mechatronics. Refrigerator system is one such example where miniaturization is made possible with the usage of advanced semiconductors, which also concentrates on reduced power consumption. Amongst the numerous ways, utilization of Peltier Module is the most favorable one as per our research. In this paper, we aim at presenting a preponderant, propitious and a simple solution for performing both cooling (Refrigeration) and heating effects in a more efficient manner by the utilization of solar energy. The Peltier module is more efficient, static and easy to handle. It is reliable and eco-friendly. A prototype has been designed and realized accordingly. All the parameters of the system are experimentally obtained and the measurements are acquiescent with the conventional one.
