Kaji Eksperimental Perpindahan Panas Pada Lemari Penyimpan Darah Portable Dengan Memanfaatkan Efek Peltier
Abstract: The process of blood
storage is the important part in maintaining the blood quality. After it is
donated by the donor, the blood will be stored in a storage cabinet until it is
needed by the patient. One of the common ways to preserve and maintain the chemical
and structural changes of the blood is to store it in a storage area that has a
temperature of between 1-6 °C. Blood storage cabinets that already exist this
days, use the vapour compression cycle which is only suitable for the storage
of large capacity and is not portable if there is blood demand in remote areas.
To answer these problems, in this research will be designed and manufactured
portable blood storage cabinet by the size of 30 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm. The heat
in the storage is discharged to the air by using a heat pump which works using
thermoelectric cooler (Peltier effect). The Peltier effect occurs when two
metals or semi-conductors of different materials are connected and energized
that there will be a difference in temperature. In order to test the
feasibility of the blood storage cabinets technically, the heat transfer study
is conducted. The experimental result shows that the expected temperature is
achieved.
