Peltier Cell Integration in Packaging Design for Minimizing Energy Consumption and Temperature Variation during Refrigerated Transport

“…In certain designs, it is possible to find "stacked" cells that converge their heat-dissipating sides with the absorbing side of another cell, thus increasing the cooling power in the first cell. Due to all the characteristics of Peltier cells, there are several applications for which they are useful: Badalan and Svasta [35] present the comparison between the operation of an LED with a Peltier cell and an LED using a normal heat sink; Halima et al [36] studied the effect of adding a Peltier cell to the heat sink of an LED; Lu et al [37] used a Peltier cell to stabilize the junction temperature of a high-power LED; Iskrenović et al [38] built a thermostat that provides faster and more accurate measurements and runs without oscillation during temperature adjustment; Diatta et al [39] investigated the influence of the Peltier cell effect on the evolution of grain size heterogeneity, density, and temperature during boron carbonate spark plasma sintering agglomeration (SPS); Freire et al [40] tested the extraction of energy from Peltiercell-based thermoelectric generators by natural and/or artificial heat sources, providing a new environmentally friendly tool for clean energy generation; Abraham James et al [41] proposed and developed a portable device for the storage and disinfection of masks; Casano and Piva [42] performed a quantitative evaluation of cooling system performance for removing the heat produced by the electronic devices' active and passive components and SMPS for limiting its maximum temperature operation; Casano and Piva [43] conducted an experimental study to determine the performance of thermoelectric modules across various ohmic loads; Ivanov et al [44] studied and applied a new way to reduce heat losses by using power cables equipped with Peltier cells; Guráš and Mahdal [45] created a testing apparatus to evaluate the usage of Peltier cells in a heat exchanger and a liquid intermediate circuit for liquid cooling; Guráš et al [46] used geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD) to simulate the internal heat exchanger heat transfer of a unique liquid chilling device that combines a two-circuit liquid refrigeration system featuring a Peltier-modulebased new chilling core and an accumulator; Jahangir et al [47] proposed a fresh design for a jacket that cools using the Peltier effect; Siddique et al [48] presents a thermoelectric Peltier-module-based cooler augmented with phase change material (PCM) for storage and refrigeration applications in the food business; and Shi et al [49] studied the cooling drinking water cost using the conventional specific exergy costing (SPECO) hypothesis. An attempt was made to construct a prototype instant drinking water cooler utilizing Peltier modules; Corpuz et al [50] created a food delivery storage system with built-in artificial heating and cooling to prevent the temperature of the food from rising too quickly during delivery.…”
