Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain a lightweight electronic refrigerating unit effective in resource saving by connecting a solar cell module as a power supply for refrigerating elements and fans. CONSTITUTION: A DC voltage generated from a solar cell module is applied to electronic refrigerating elements 2 and fans 3, 4 and cold and hot airs are supplied from air outlets 7, 8 to the outside. Since the heat absorbing part 5 of the elements 2 is disposed in the air outlet 7, cold air is supplied whereas since the heat radiating part 6 of the elements 2 is disposed in the air outlet 8, hot air is supplied. A liquid, gas or solid cooling material can be refrigerated or cooled utilizing cold air being supplied from the air outlet 7. According to the arrangement, cooling capacity of the element 2 depends on the geographic environment, the season or the time. It can be used at any place because it requires no external power supply. Since solar battery is lightweight, overall weight can be reduced thus to facilitate transportation and movement.

"Effects of the Invention" Since the solar cell module, the electronic refrigeration element, and the blower are combined to form a refrigeration or cooling device, the following effects are produced. For refrigeration or cooling, it is necessary to increase the cooling capacity as the outside air temperature increases, but since the driving source for electronic refrigeration elements is a solar cell module, the sunlight is generally strong when the ambient temperature is high. Cooling capacity increases by adapting to temperature. The number of solar cell modules can be increased or decreased depending on the geographical environment or time, and the cooling capacity can be adjusted. Since it does not require an external power source, it can be used anywhere. No AC/DC converter is required. Solar cells are not heavy like storage batteries, and the entire device is lightweight, making it easy to transport and move. It is effective in saving resources and is clean energy.
