Abstract
A miniature thermoelectric cooling device for storing small amounts of thermally unstable substances, like drug vials with insulin for diabetic patients or protein based drugs for thrombolytic therapy, is disclosed. A solar energy collector coupled with a rechargeable battery is provided as the energy source. The miniature cooler is small enough to be belt-carried at all time by a person, whose life or health depends on the drugs. When switched to a heating mode, the thermoelectric device can temporarily elevate the temperature of the drug to a body temperature thus providing comfortable conditions for the injection. A combined solar-and-battery power supply allows keeping an article in the cooler at low temperatures around o'clock at all times during substantially long travels in hot or tropical conditions where even short term exposure to surrounding temperatures can destroy the potency of the drug.
Description
- This invention relates to thermoelectric temperature control devices, used for creating a zone of lowered temperatures for storing articles with low thermal stability. The invention is most suitable for storing small articles, mainly drug vials with protein based drugs, primarily insulin for the diabetic patients or drugs for out-of-hospital thrombolytic therapy.
- Portable coolers that can be comfortably carried by a person are well known. Typically, such coolers comprise a storage compartment with thick walls, fabricated of a polystyrene foam with closed cells and provided with a lid and a carrying handle. For a limited time this thermally isolated compartment can maintain constant temperature. To compensate for the heat transfer that does occur through the walls of the compartment and to maintain a low temperature in the compartment for longer period of time, a thermoelectric, or Peltier, device is often employed.
- According to the Peltier effect, an electric current passing through the junction of two dissimilar materials causes generation or absorption of heat, with the direction of heat flow depending upon the direction of the current. The rate of the thermal effect—the heat flow—is proportional to the magnitude of the current. By positioning a multitude of such junctions thermally parallel and electrically in series in a small space a significant thermal effect can be achieved. Such devices are now commercially available with junctions of n-type and p-type semiconductors materials. These devices are operable in a range of DC voltages. A fan, generally associated with the device, is used to circulate air from the p-n junctions to the region where the thermal effect is desirable.
- About 16 million of people in the United States and 120 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes. Life and health of a significant number of these patients often depends on daily injections of insulin. Insulin, like many other protein based drugs, has relatively low thermal stability. The storage of insulin solution in vials requires low temperature environment, preferably a temperature range 4-10 degrees Centigrade. At room temperature an insulin solution can preserve its potency only for a limited period of time, at most several weeks. When traveling, people with diabetes experience additional inconvenience associated with lack of low temperature environment required for the storage of insulin. In a tropical climate or during a hot day at the beach even short term exposure of the insulin to elevated temperatures can destroy its potency and thus jeopardize the health or even life of a diabetes patient. This is especially true for long vacations during summer time in the United States or in other countries with hot climate.
- In U.S. Pat. No. 5,379,594 a portable, hand-held, solar energy thermoelectric device for the use, storage and transportation of substances requiring a temperature controlled environment in a wide ambient temperature range is disclosed. The storage chest described in the patent has at least 1 cubic foot of usable volume and consumes about 70 watts of electric power from generated by a solar energy collector. This thermoelectric chest is too large to meet the requirements for a drug storing cooler capable of being carried at all the time with a person.
- In U.S. Pat. No. 4,981,019 a portable food container is disclosed. It is cooled by a solar powered refrigeration unit and includes a thermoelectric power unit and heat pipes so that the container will be cooled even when there is no solar radiation and will have an even temperature distribution. The intended use of the cooler is a picnic food container. Once again, this device is too large to be conveniently carried by a person at all times.
- It is desirable to develop a miniature temperature controlled device, which could be carried with a person at all time and would guarantee stability of the insulin or other drug during several months in hot or tropical climate.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a miniature thermoelectric cooler that can be carried with a person at all time.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a cooler with a power supply comprising a solar energy collector coupled with an electrical rechargeable battery, with an overall capacity of large enough to power the cooler around the clock during days and nights at all times.
- The present invention is a miniature belt-carried cooler intended for long term storage of small articles, particularly drugs, at lowered temperatures. The present invention comprises a thermally isolated storage compartment, a solar power collector coupled with a rechargeable electric battery and a thermoelectric unit. The solar energy collector and rechargeable batteries are secured to the side walls of the storage compartment and serve as a power supply for the thermoelectric system providing control of the temperature inside the storage compartment. The thermoelectric system includes a block of Peltier elements, a programmable control unit, mounted on the top wall of the storage compartment, and a temperature sensor placed inside the storage compartment.
- The storage compartment is made of thermally insulating materials, with its top wall openably connected to the side wall of the compartment. The storage compartment may include a Dewar flask for additional thermal insulation of the stored article.
- A solar energy collector generates enough power to cool the compartment and to recharge the battery at the same time. The capacitance of the fully charged electric battery is sufficient to power the thermoelectric system during nights, when solar energy is not available.
- The hot end of the Peltier unit extends up from the top wall of the storage compartment, whereas the cold end of the unit extends down from the top wall inside the storage compartment. The hot end of the Peltier unit is provided with a radiator, which serves as a heat sink, dissipating heat to the surrounding air.
- A belt for wearing a cooler in accord with the present invention at a person's waist may be provided.
- The foregoing objects of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art when the following detailed description of the invention is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and claims. Throughout the drawings, like numerals refer to similar or identical parts.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a miniature thermoelectric cooler in accord with the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the miniature thermoelectric cooler shown in FIG. 1.
- The present invention comprising a miniature
thermoelectric cooler 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Cooler 10 comprises a thermally insulatedcompartment 12 adapted for storage of the drug vials or othersmall articles 14 at lowered temperatures. Thecompartment 12 has abottom wall 16 andside walls 18 made of a thermally insulating material, such as a closed cell foam material. A top wall orlid 20 of the compartment is openably-connected to itsside wall 18.Compartment 12 may include a Dewar ordouble wall flask 22, made of glass or stainless steel. - A
thermoelectric unit 24 is shown attached to thelid 20. Aheat sink 26 is attached to the hot orupper end 28 of thethermoelectric unit 24. Heat sink orradiator 26 protrudes through an appropriately configuredopening 30 in thetop wall 12 so as to be exposed to the ambient environment. That is, theheat 26 sink serves for cooling of thehot end 28 of the thermoelectric device by the surrounding air. - Preferably, the
cooler 10 is powered by a renewable energy resource. By way of example,cooler 10 may include aphotovoltaic collector panel 32 for collecting the solar energy during day time hours.Panel 32 will provide electric power to charge one or moreelectric batteries 34, which provide power to the thermoelectric cooling system during nights, when the solar energy is unavailable. Advantageously, the power output of thesolar battery 34 may be less than 10 watts. Aprogrammable control unit 36 may be mounted on thetop wall 20 to provide control of the temperature inside thestorage compartment 12. The temperature inside the storage compartment may be measured by atemperature sensor 38. The whole cooler assembly is secured on a waist belt 40, which allows to comfortably carry the cooler at all time. - FIG. 2 schematically shows a cross section and electric circuits of a cooler in accord with the present invention. The miniature cooler may comprises a
compartment 12 having a volume of 100-250 cubic centimeters with thetop wall 20 andside walls 18 fabricated of a closed cell polymeric foam, such as polystyrene. Located interior to theside walls 18 is theDewar flask 22. Theflask 22 includes aspace 42 between the twowalls walls - As noted, a
thermoelectric unit 24 is secured in the middle of thetop wall 12 with itscold end 48 facing the interior of theDewar flask 22 and thehot end 28 attached to theheat sink 26. Thethermoelectric unit 24 consists of two ormore elements 50 of semiconductor material (such as bismuth telluride) that are connected electrically in series and thermally in parallel. Thesethermoelectric elements 50 and their electrical interconnects are mounted between twoceramic substrates substrates individual elements 50 electrically from one another and from external mounting surfaces. Preferably, the various components of thecooling elements 50 are integrated in a cylindrical plug (not shown for purposes of clarity) that fills the neck of theDewar flask 22. During operation of the cooler thesemiconductor elements 50 actually are moving the heat from the colder end of thecompartment 12 to the upperhotter end 28 andheat sink 26. Thethermoelectric unit 24 is powered by a low voltage direct current fromrechargeable batteries 32 located outside the storage compartment. Athermocouple 38 or other temperature sensor, placed inside the storage compartment, measures the temperature to which storedarticles 14 are exposed. - A signal from the
thermocouple 38 comes to thecontroller 36 and is used for stabilization of the temperature inside the storage compartment at a preprogrammed level. Thecontroller 36 turns on and off thethermoelectric unit 24 depending on the temperature inside the compartment. During the “off” state, the heat exchange between the inside volume of the container and the environment outside is minimal. In part this is due the fact that the thermal convection inside thecontainer 12 is very low, because thearticles 14 at the bottom of thecontainer 12 are colder than theceramic substrate 54 above them. When thethermoelectric unit 24 is on, theplate 54 becomes colder then the bottom of the compartment and convection heat flow starts pumping heat from the bottom to the flask to thecold end 48 of thethermoelectric unit 24. The overall device thus is very efficient in keeping the internal part of the Dewar flask cold, with very low energy being spent. The operational state of the cooler is vertical with the heat sink and the hot end of the thermoelectric unit positioned above the storage compartment. - The present invention having thus been described, other modifications, alterations, or substitutions may now suggest themselves to those skilled in the art, all of which are within the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example a miniature cooler in accord with the present invention may include a universal electrical adapter which allows the operator to use power from electric current sources of other direct current voltages or 120 and 220 volts alternating current. In addition, the present invention could further include a heating mode of operation of the
thermoelectric unit 24 during which the temperature of the insulin or another drug can be elevated to the body level thus making injections more comfortable for the patient. It is therefore intended that the present invention be limited only by the scope of the attached claims below.
