Abstract


In this automation scenario when everyone is serious about glaciers melting & ozonelayer depletion so it's important to
do which helps in overcoming this problem. Many type of refrigerator are made using refrigerant which to extent affect
our environment. Then it strikes to make a refrigerating system in which there is no use of refrigerant so there is an option
of vapour absorption system. Now the problem occurs about its shape refrigeration system with absorption system is
heavy & bulky. The idea generation for the project had come in order to face and tackle the food and beverage storage's
problem of inefficiency and inability of keeping the preferred temperatures (Adiabatic nature). Most of the storage
container and devices in the market are largely unable to comply with their statement stated— 'Adiabatic nature' or
'keeping the temperature same', which is also reasonable. We know 'Adiabatic' state is only a theoretical approach to
understand and study the nature of Thermodynamics and heat transfer, hence it is not possible in practical world. That's
where the principle of internal heat generation and manipulation comes to save the day. If the subject is heated or cooled
just before the required time, it will subsequently decrease the energy losses and produce the required temperature at
the right time. But despite using high energy consuming resistance coils to produce heat and refrigeration system to
produce cooling. We use Peltier effect to produce either heating/cooling as per the user's requirement.The JIT (just in
time) philosophy of our product increases accountability to meet the user's needs efficiently while reducing the heat
loss/gain incurred during the process of pre-heating/pre-cooling of food.There have been a lot of advancements made
to cups over the years, but no one's made anything for the "modern man," until the Acup 12: an app-controlled,
temperature adjustable Foodware period, carrying medicines and making the temp of the food stuff stable at what
they were kept. Without any harm to our environment.
