Design and development of mini portable cooler for breastmilk storage
This paper presents the design and development of a mini portable cooler that utilizes the Peltier effect to cool the human expressed breast milk (EBM) within 24 hours at the temperature range between 4�C-15�C to maintain the high quality of the EBM for use at a later date and the health of the baby...
