Solar-Powered Peltier-Based Air Cooler and Warmer in Medical Systems

Abstract

Abstract Presently, there are many more commercial applications for thermoelectric Peltier coolers, notably portable air/water refrigerators, electronics cooling processes, thermal management systems in medical applications, and others. Thus, the goal of this project is to develop an experimentally-based optimisation procedure for powered by sunlight peltier-based air conditioners and heaters for use in hospitals that are capable of running continuously. This enables patients to cook meals in the heating element and keep drugs in the cold compartment inside the cooler, both functions being incorporated into one model while also reducing the device’s dimensions and requirement for space. In this study, a model that employs perturb and observe (P&O) approaches applied to solar systems under constant and partially shady circumstances was powered by the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methodology. Additionally, the Internet of Things modules offer user and autonomous management, while the entire system is tracked and shown on an OLED. An appropriate number of modules also reduces the expense per cooling unit for Peltier coolers and warmers.
