Abstract

During the hot whether, everyone is feeling hot due to the weather that are become hotter and hotter compared to previous. Thus, it is important to develop a portable air conditioner that able to bring along from one place to another place. In this project, it used a DC portable power supply to connect to a boost converter in order to step up the input voltage and current to supply to the prototype of portable air conditioner. The boost converter that using the ATtiny85 had successfully boost the voltage from 4.62V to 13.2V but the current was too small and insufficient to supply to the portable air conditioner.The portable air conditioner was made up of Peltier module, heat sinks and fans. In order to collect the data, the portable air conditioner was connected to the portable DC power supply and boost converter module. With the sufficient of voltage and current supply to the Peltier module and the aids of the heat sink and fans, the portable air conditioner can be functioning. For the Peltier module, it is a current control device where when the current increases, the efficiency decreases while maximum cooling occurs at some specific current. Besides, the air conditioner also works with the aids of the Peltier effect which the electric current flows through the intersection of two dissimilar metals as well as liberated the heat. With the air circulation of the neutral air, the temperature of the air conditioner at the cold side is cooler.
