Abstract

A tablet cooling device includes a copper plate, having fans mounted on the copper plate to direct airflow; heat sinks secured directly under the fans; a thermal control board to control and regulate the fans and heat sinks; and peltier coolers secured underneath the heat sinks; a sub cooling plate, having a circulation channel embedded in the sub cooling plate; a liquid mixture is circulated through the circulation channel; a power source; the thermal control board detects temperature to maintain a predetermined temperature range via active and passive cooling.

Claims (22)

1. A tablet cooling device, comprising:

a copper plate, having:

one or more fans mounted on the copper plate and configured to direct airflow;

one or more heat sinks secured directly under the one or more fans;

a thermal control board configured to control and regulate the one or more fans and the one or more heat sinks; and

one or more peltier coolers secured underneath the one or more heat sinks;

a sub cooling plate, having:

a circulation channel embedded in the sub cooling plate;

wherein a liquid mixture is configured to circulate through the circulation channel, the liquid is a propylene glycol with an isopropyl alcohol; and

a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with the circulation channel, the fluid reservoir is positioned directly underneath a fan of the one or more fans such that the fan cools the fluid reservoir;

wherein the thermal control board detects temperature to maintain a predetermined temperature range via active and passive cooling.

2. The tablet cooling device of claim 1 , wherein the liquid mixture comprises:

a predetermined amount of glycol;

a predetermined amount of distilled water;

a predetermined amount of a corrosion inhibitor; and

a predetermined amount of isopropyl alcohol.

3. A method of cooling a tablet, the method comprising:

incorporating the tablet cooling device of claim 1 into a tablet mount;

securing the tablet within the mount;

setting a desired temperature, the desired temperature being monitored and maintained via the thermal control board;

cooling the sub cooling plate with the circulation channel;

wherein the thermal control board activates active or passive cooling via the tablet cooling device to maintain the desired temperature.
