Design of a portable thermoelectric refrigeration system for the transportation of human blood.

摘要

This thesis presents the design of a portable refrigeration system for the transportation of human blood. The design incorporates microcontroller technology to control the cooling of the container, log the temperature history inside the container and sound an alarm when the temperature inside the container exceeds safe storage limits. The design utilizes thermoelectric cooling technology because of its portability. By controlling and recording the temperature of the blood during its transportation the possibility of using spoiled blood is reduced.
