Description
Summary:This report summarizes the progress of the author’s Final Year Project. It is a continuation of a previous project – Battery Operated Fridge. The purpose of this report is to illustrate the changes made to the existing device, as well as other vital highlights of improvements made for better efficiency. The portable fridge is currently equipped with different functions. Other developments will include making the portable fridge lighter and more user-friendly, while maintaining its cooling efficiency. With the research and experiments done, the prototype will bring to users, a better quality fridge with ease of portability. Thermoelectric modules are the main element which brings down the temperature of the prototype. In addition, a temperature control circuit and low battery detector was implemented which will be further elaborated.
