| Impact Factor value: 7.529 | ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal | Page 965 Simultaneous Heating and Cooling functionality for a Lunch Box 1st NiteshGohil Student, Department of Mechanical Engineering Thakur College of Engineering and Technology Mumbai, India 3rd DeepDoshi Student, Department of Mechanical Engineering Thakur College of Engineering and Technology Mumbai, India 2nd AkshatShukla Student, Department of Mechanical Engineering Thakur College of Engineering and Technology Mumbai, India 4th VinayVerma Student, Department of Mechanical Engineering Thakur College of Engineering and Technology Mumbai, India -----------------------------------------------------------------------***------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract—The paper discusses the concept of creating an insu- lated lunch box that limits the heat transfer with its surrounding. In addition to limiting the heat transfer, the concept also proposes a method with which heat can be added to the system. This, in turn, prolongs the period where edibles can be stored at the desired temperature. A Thermoelectric Cooler is incorporated which makes possible the inception of two separate compartments in the lunchbox which stay at different temperatures to make possible the storage of hot as well as cold food inside a single lunchbox. Due to the increasing importance of healthy and warm food, one can have midst the work, the paper ascertains the need to understand the potential working mechanism of this project. This concept can possibly change the conventional way of carrying food by introducing an additional cold compartment to store the food in addition to a hot one. The design of the prototype is discussed. Various electronic components to be used are discussed and the working of the prototype is explained. Index Terms—Portable Food Storage, Thermos Tiffin, Electric Tiffin, Heated Lunchbox, Cooled Lunch Box, Fresh Food Storage, Peltier module, TEC or Thermo-electric cooling, Heat Pump. I. INTRODUCTION In our daily life, there are many appliances that we use seamlesslytoderivetheworkfromthembecausetheyarevery convenient.OneofthemostusedproductsisaThermosFlask. For people who work away from home, the food or fluids theycarrytoeatlatercaneasilygettoroomtemperatureonly withina fewhours; rancidin thecaseofhighoil contentfood. Therefore,Vacuumflasksareutilizedtokeepbeveragesfresh and hot or cold for extended periods. Thermos flasks were invented in 1892 by SirJames Dewar as a result of his radical research in the field of cryogenics. By evacuating the air betweenthe two chambers ina flask, a state of partial vacuum can be created; such was his observation. He refused to patent it. It was not until 1904 that two German glassblowers, Reinhold Burger and Albert Aschenbrenner, discovered that it could be used to keep food and beverages hot or cool for a longer amount of time and can be used in daily use. They termeditasThermos [1].Duetoitsdesign,thethermosflaskis able to keep hot food hot and, cold food, cold. Asthe paradigm shifted,itbecamewidelyused. In the age of scientific advancement, there is an energy reduction race. How can one increase efficiency? We are coming to the realization that there is an urgent need to reduce energy usage and deliver suitable outcomes in a very sustainable way. Thermos flasks came in various shapes and sizes given that they ensured the storage of multiplekinds of food and beverages. Later, flasks with double-wall vacuum insulationwereavailablecommercially.Thevacuuminsulated thermos flasks that are used by the masses today still lack in theirabilitytolimitheattransferthroughlongperiodsoftime. Empirically, it can be witnessed that if a thermos were to be filled with coffee for later consumption, the flask can only keepthetemperatureconstantforasmalltime.Afteran houror two, the heat inevitably gets out rendering the coffee bland. This problem is inherent because of the construction of the vacuum flask. The space inside the double-wall insulation is definitely evacuated but the outer wall still has to connect at some point with the inner holding compartment. This allows for heat transfer through conduction. A little by little the heat seepsout,theedibleseventuallyreachroomtemperature and they do not come out as fresh as was expected. Some might suggest simply to overheat the coffee before pouring it into theflaskbutthatcanonlybedonewiththiscase.Whatabout the other beverages whose taste gets destroyed due to the high temperature?Andinthecasewhenacoldbeverageneedsto be stored, a layman cannot supercool a beverage at home. To combatthis,itisnecessarytodeviseasystemthatcannotonly keepenergyinsidethesystembut,whennecessary,addenergy International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056 Volume: 09 Issue: 09 | Sep 2022 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072

II. PREVIOUS WORK ANDADVANCEMENTS Uponlookingforsuchproducts,itcanbenotedthatmostof theproductswhicharebeingusedaresimpleThermosflasks without any abilities to add energy to the system. Digging in furtherwefindabouttheeffortsthatwerebeingputinthisfield to further expand the capabilities of a Thermos Flask. Ref [2] started off by presenting an elegant solution to minimize the heat loss from the cups or fluid containers. It is a system for retainingorcontrollingthetemperatureofthefluid.Suitable forallkindsofenvironments,itcomprisesofaheatsinkwith a thermoelectricdevice.Thethermoelectricdeviceisattached tothebottomsurfaceofthecup.Suchaplacementmaximises theheattransferbysheercontact. Ref[3][4]dealwithasimilarproblemofheataddition.The solutionprovidedwasrathertraditional.Beginetal.2008had proposedanideathatincludedafoodchillingdevicethathada cylindricalbodywithanouterwall,aclosed-end,andanopen- end.Thisdevicecandipinanycontainer,filledwithice,which willcooldownthefoodforlaterreheatingandserving.Mean- while,Palenaetal.2011patentedasimilardesign,acontainer that can fill up, except the container now had a rechargeable, self-heating supersaturated salt solution. A potential trigger meant a process of crystallization, which essentially is an exothermic process [4]. These reviews concluded that they hadatremendousdrawback.Theycompromisevolume, either where they are to be installed or fitted in. However, they addressed the problem statement accurately by providingasolutionforheatingandcoolingabeverageinthe flask.Ref [5] was proposed in 2013 and, it is by far the most relevant patent here in regard to our concept of unifying both heating andcoolingprocessessimultaneously.However,itelaborately explains theheatadditionprocess,butthereisnomentionof cooling the fluid down. It only balances the temperature of the fluid. It is an actively heated mug. The mug can include manyheatingelementsthatheatasurface.Themugalsouses the functionality of wireless power charging as a method to deliverpowertotherespectivemodule.Theoverallcircuitry canbeturnedofforonbasedontheusage. III. COMPONENTS A. TEC Module/Peltier Module Fig. 1. Peltier Element Schematic [6]. “The Peltier circuit, the basic element of the cooling thermoelectric cell, consists of semiconductors p-type and n-type connected in series with copper plates. The copper plates, on both sides, are thermally bonded to each other through ceramic plates, but are electrically insulated. In terms of electricity, semiconductors are connected in series with each other, however with respect to thermal in parallel.” [7]. Thermoelectric Coolers (TEC) work on the principle of Peltier Effect which states that when two different metals are subjected to a voltage potential, a temperature gradient is inducedattheirjunction.Peltiermodules,inessence,actlike a heat pump which can create temperature differences within the range of 70°C across both sides with no moving parts which prove to be essential in manufacturing small systems withlimitedspace[8].

The insulation of the divider wall is critical since ignoring it will nullify the temperature gradient introduced by the TEC module rendering the setupuseless. The lid of the box is to be made such that it isolates the compartments from ambient atmosphere and each other when closedtominimizeheattransferfromthesystem. IV. WORKING OFPROTOTYPE TEC1-12706 works in the range of 5-12V. However, to attain a suitable temperature and have the independence of varying it based on the feedback, it becomes necessary to supply 12V initially. For the sake of portability and easy access to the end user who would make the most use of this product Fig. 8. Developed prototype so far. When outdoors, feeding 12V directly would not be feasible. TheubiquityoftheSmartphoneshasgiventhisworldaneasy access of 5V from an AC adapter everywhere. Making use of this, this prototype makes use of a DC-DC Step Up converter which takes an input from a 5V USB charger and steps it up to 12Vforthisapplication. Tocontrolthetemperatureinsidethelunchbox,thepower to the TEC module needs to be controlled actively. This is done with the help of the prototype friendly MCU, Arduino Uno. Arduino acts as a brain for this prototype, it takes an analog input from the temperature sensor KY-001mounted inside the compartment and determines whether to supply voltage to the Peltier module or not. The temperature ranges are specified while programming. If the threshold temperature is surpassed and the temperature sensor demands cooling, Arduino sends a Pulse-Width modulation signal to the TIP120 Darlington Transistor. TIP120, based on the input voltage provided by the Arduino varies the 12V supply it receives from the DC-DC Step Up module and supplies it to the Peltier for the pumping of heat. This process continues until the desired cooling/heating is reached. When the temperature sensor measures more heat than desired, Arduino stops the supply of voltage to TIP120 thereby limiting the temperature. Afterthis,thesystementersmaintenancemodewhereasupply of low voltage to the TEC module is conducted to maintain the temperaturerequiredbythesystem. A. Pulse-Width Modulation Pulse-widthmodulationisamethodtoextractanalogoutput from a digital signal. Unlike digital signals which are binary in theirnature,analogsignalshavearangeofvaluesbetween their On and Off expressions. Pulse-width modulationdoes this by chopping up the signal into discrete parts [16]. The square waved signal is broken into many parts by rapidly switching the voltage supply on and off. This on and off motionresults inasquarewavethatisonforaspecificamount oftime,andofffor a specific amount of time. The result of this process is an average voltage which acts as the analog output of the digital signalthatismodulated. Fig. 9.

DISADVANTAGES 1) Introduction of an electrical system makes it difficult to manufacture. 2) Larger than conventional lunchboxes since heavy insulation isrequired. 3) Manufacturing is difficult since vacuum insulation is difficult toachieve. 4) Difficulttoisolatebothcompartmentssinceheattransfer is encouraged due to the temperature gradient across the sides. 5) Addition of electronics and vacuum leaves less space for actual foodstorage. 6) Bulkier and Heavier than traditional food storage solutions. 7) Food in the hot compartment may get very dry if the box is not sealed well and the water content manages to evaporateout. POSSIBLE WORKAROUND FOR THE DISADVANTAGES • The weight can be trimmed down by using lightweight composites. • Materials with lower thermal conductivity can help to betterisolatethetwocompartments. • UsageofembeddedelectronicswithsmallPCBswillhelp in reducingthesizeandcostoftheproduct. • Proper rubber sealing with air-tight locks can be used to avoidtheproblemofevaporation. CONCLUSION The simultaneous heating and cooling in a single unit is unlike any other commercially available product and seems more efficient than just utilizing the heat or just the cold andrejectingthecounterpart.Itshowsgreatpotentialandcan change the way people look at packed food. However, manufacturing seems to be a major challenge and more research is needed regarding its efficiency and feasibility. Preventing energy loss from the system proves to be a major challenge in the prototype. Electric components can be substituted for minute circuits that can fit on the bottom of the lunchbox. Moreresearch regardingitsthermal efficiency isrequiredto be carriedout.
