A container including a housing defining a product space and including a refrigeration system. The refrigeration system is coupled to the container and is in communication with the product space to condition the product space. The refrigeration system is operably connected to each other and selectively conditions the product space in a low temperature mode and a medium temperature mode.

A produce storage chamber designed to fit on a counter top. The produce storage chamber capable of encasing produce, a refrigeration system, at least one ozone generation unit, and at least one ethylene scrubber. The chamber is capable of delaying postharvest produce deterioration using temperature control, ozone generation, and ethylene scrubbing.

Several travel bags, carriers and coolers are available in the market. However, these carriers are suitable for transporting drugs under one condition and don't serve many of the patients (and in particular the elderly) who have prescribed drugs that need to be stored at different temperatures in one unit. These carriers are, also, costly and aren't tailored to solve the problems that encounter many researchers in the labs and many patients. Accordingly, they were not effective in solving the problems of the waste of the drugs due to their improper storage or in preventing the adverse effects that can result from the damage of the drugs.

In contrast, the Medical Transport Bag is an economic transport system that can be used for transporting many samples and medicines in a cost-effective manner and under different controlled conditions in the same unit.

A portable refrigerator assembly includes a refrigerator that has a box and a door that is hingedly coupled to the box. A plurality of feet is each coupled to and extends laterally away from the refrigerator for stabilizing the refrigerator on a support surface. A cooling unit is provided and the cooling unit is positioned in the refrigerator such that the cooling unit is in thermal communication with an interior of the refrigerator. In this way the cooling unit can cool the interior of the refrigerator. A pair of warming plates is each coupled to the refrigerator and a food item can be positioned on each of the warming plates. Additionally, each of the warming plates generates heat when the warming plates are turned on to warm the food item.

The portable, modular refrigeration device includes a base member that supports a refrigeration cycle therein. The base member may be hemispherical in shape, and include a top peripheral edge that enables a pivoting, dome cover to attach thereon. The pivoting, dome cover is also hemispherical in shape, and is made of a translucent material so as to enable view of contents being stored there under. A removable tray is provided, and is seated on a lip provided in the base member. The lip is located below the peripheral edge. The removable tray features a plurality of slots that enable refrigerated air to be directed upwardly from the base member into the pivoting, dome cover.

A stackable case includes a cooling and/or heating device, such as a Peltier element, so that the stackable case can be used as a cooler and/or warmer for storing beverages, food, etc. A power source device, in which a plurality of battery packs is housed, supplies power to the Peltier element and one or more fans. The power supply device has latches for detachably joining or linking it to the stackable case in a stacked manner.

A portable apparatus for rapidly freezing a freezable liquid to form at least one frozen object includes a fluid intake in which the freezable liquid is introduced and a freeze chamber that receives the freezable liquid from the fluid intake. The freeze chamber includes a freeze block that includes at least one cell in which the at least one frozen object is formed. A cooling system circulates refrigerant to the freeze block to facilitate cooling of the freeze block. The freeze block is formed of a heat transfer material such that heat from the freezable liquid added to the at least one cell is transferred to the freeze block whereupon said heat is transferred to the refrigerant flowing through the evaporator coil of the freeze block, thereby resulting in cooling of the freeze block. The freeze block is configured and the refrigerant is selected such that the freeze chamber is maintained at a temperature of below 0° F. and preferably below at least about −10.0° F. or −20° F.

Various examples are provided for a modular thermoelectric apparatus. In one example, a modular thermoelectric apparatus with a thermoelectric module is removable from a lid of a thermoelectric portable cooler. In another example, a modular thermoelectric apparatus includes a housing and a thermoelectric module disposed within the housing. The housing is coupled to a lower fan shroud with a warm air inlet and a cold air outlet. The housing is adapted to be removably coupled to a lid or a sidewall of a portable cooler.

In one aspect, a portable-smart refrigerator includes a lid assembly comprising a lid coupled with a lid bottom cover for fastening the lid assembly to an internal upper portion of a PCM chamber assembly. The portable-smart refrigerator includes a grill assembly comprising a top base, a pump bracket, a middle base, a bottom base. The top based hold the pump bracket. the top base is coupled with the middle base. The middle base is coupled with the bottom base. The portable-smart refrigerator includes a cooling-coil assembly comprising a feeding tube, a top elbow, a bottom tube, a cooling coil. The top elbow is installed between two lengths of tubing/pipe to enable a change of direction and couples the feeding tube with the cooling coil. The cooling coil is coupled with the bottom tube. The portable-smart refrigerator includes the phase change material (PCM) chamber assembly that holds the cooling coil. The PCM chamber is placed within an outer cylinder. A bottom portion of the PCM chamber assembly is coupled with the grill assembly. A sleeve assembly forming a portion of the outer cylinder.

Disclosed is a refrigerating device that includes: a refrigeration mechanism; and a cooling chamber. The cooling chamber is operatively coupled to the refrigeration mechanism using any or a combination of a latching mechanism and a screwing mechanism, and is configured to hold a load to be cooled. The refrigeration mechanism can be a thermo-electric assembly (TEA) and the device can include a proportional integral derivative (PID) controller to set and regulate temperature inside the cooling chamber. The cooling chamber can be a vacuum flask, open end of the vacuum flask configured to be thermally sealed with the TEA. The vacuum flask provides thermal insulation between the load and ambient environment. In an exemplary embodiment, the vacuum flask can be thermally sealed with the TEA by configuring the TEA in a collar of thermal insulation, the collar configured to hold the vacuum flask by means of threads configured on the collar and the vacuum flask.
