Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer is a free-access and peer-reviewed online journal that provides a central vehicle for the exchange of basic ideas in heat and mass transfer between researchers and engineers around the globe. It disseminates information of permanent interest in the area of heat and mass transfer. Theory and fundamental research in heat and mass transfer, numerical simulations and algorithms, experimental techniques and measurements as applied to all kinds of current and emerging problems are welcome. Contributions to the journal consist of original research on heat and mass transfer in equipment, thermal systems, thermodynamic processes, nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, energy and power applications, as well as security and related topics.
Types of Articles
Thermal-Fluids Central accepts submissions of the following types of articles. All types articles submitted are subject to rigorous peer review.
Editorials Review Articles Research Papers Technical Briefs Discussions Closures Book Reviews Announcements Errata
Peer Review Process
Once the paper is submitted, it will be assigned to an editor who will screen the paper to make sure that it fits the scope of the journal. The editor will also assess the quality of the paper before assigning it to reviewers. If it is deemed that the paper does not fit into the scope of the journal or the quality of the paper is obviously below the standard of publication, the authors will be notified promptly, and the paper will not be sent to reviewers.
Once the paper passed the initial screen and assessment by the editor, it will be assigned to the reviewers who are active researchers in the subject of the paper. The single-blind review process is employed in that the identity of the reviewers is completely anonymous to the authors while the authors' identity is known to the reviewers. The reviewers are asked to comment on the quality of the paper based on its originality and quality of writing in three weeks. The reviewers who did not submit their reviews on time will be reminded, and additional reviewers may be sought if necessary.
Based on the comments received from the reviewers, the editor will make an initial decision to (a) accept the paper, (b) ask the authors to revise the paper, or (c) reject the paper. If the authors are asked to revise their paper, they will have two weeks to submit the revised paper and rebuttal. The final acceptance of the paper will be based on the assessment of the editor based on the revised paper and rebuttal.
Once the paper is accepted for publication, the authors will be asked to format the paper based on the template of the journal before the paper can be sent to the publisher for publication.

A
BSTRACTA comparison study of the use of two different heat removal units was conducted to examine the performance of thermoelectric cooler box. The heat removal units employed were a heat sink fin-fan and a double fan heat pipe. Parameters measured as performance indicators are cooling capacity, temperature differences, and COP. In addition, the effect of electrical power on temperature difference and COP was also investigated. The cooler box size is 285 mm x 245 mm x 200 mm and constructed from styrofoam. The results show that there is no difference of the use of a double fan heat pipe or a heat sink fin-fan on the cooler box performances. The Carnot COP decreases with the time, while the experimental COP increases with the time then it is constant after the steady condition has been achieved. Increasing the power decreases the COP but increases the temperature difference.

1. INTRODUCTION*
A portable medical refrigerator is essential to carry out planned immunization, preventive injection, serum and biological preparations.
Over the past years until nowadays, a small box filled with ice is commonly used for transporting/ storing fish by fishermen. Foam cotton, ice bottle, glass liner are also used as insulation materials to prevent the heat coming into/ out the storage box. Ice cream sellers using a motorbike also use styrofoam boxes filled with an ice stone to avert their ice cream melting. This manner is not easy and effective. Also, using cotton, foam and other materials to make the box at a constant temperature causes the package to be large, small volume, and high cost, etc. (Yang et al., 1991).
Therefore, there is an urgent demand for such works to find a new cooler box that is portable, small power, and temperature-controlled.
To fulfil the demand, a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) box is a better choice. TEC is a new artificial refrigeration technology which is based on the Peltier effect. The cold side of the thermoelectric can be used for absorbing heat or cooling things, Abdul-Wahab et al. (2009), Rawat et al. (2013), Reddy (2016), Ananta et al. (2017). Recently, studies on TEC have been quickly developed. Although the efficiency of TEC is lower compared with traditional refrigeration, it is irreplaceable for some cases.
TEC is quiet, portable, and environmentally friendly and it has a high temperature-controlling capacity, Deng (1992). Furthermore, the advantages of TEC are no leakage problem, very compact, durable, easy in maintenance, and low power, Andersen (1962), Mei et al. (1989), McNaughton et al. (1995). Hence, it is suitable to be applied to the medical field or other purposes as mentioned in the previous paragraph.
Most previous work on TEC system has examined optimization and performance improvement of electronic devices by building various thermoelectric modules, Shen et al. (2013), Cai et al. (2016), Cai et al.
(2017), Chen et al. (2015), Lineykin and Ben-Yaakov (2007),

Manikandan and Kaushik (2015). However, increasing the performance of the cooler box is difficult due to low COP (coefficient of performance) of the thermoelectric module (TE). Some researchers tried to increase the performance of TE by discovering new materials, e.g. Ghoshal et al.
(2002), Yang et al. (1991) and Lee et al. (2015). Nevertheless, what they did does not improve the performance much. Then Lu et al. (2014) enhanced their TE refrigeration system by applying inhomogeneous thermal conductivity materials. They elucidated that this method increased the performance of the cooling system. Moreover, Rabari et al.
(2015) investigated the effect of a thermal conductivity on the performance of TE systems. They concluded that this way increased the COP. Attey (1998) increased the COP in applications. They revealed that using low thermal impedance liquid raised the COP surprisingly, and even when they applied a solid heat sink, the COP obtained was approximately ranging from 0.4-0.6, but when they utilized liquid as the heat sink, the COP leveled by of approximately 0.95-1.85. Recently Reddy et al. (2013) also performed an investigation to increase the COP of their thermoelectric cooling system. They found a significant increase in COP or performance. Yu and Wang (2009) improved TE cooling system using internally cascaded TE couples and they found the significant increase in COP. Nevertheless, most of them found that COP of TEC was still lower than 1, see also Table 1.
From the above literature or Table 1, several types of heat sink installed on the hot side of TE to remove the heat have been investigated.
Nevertheless, none of them investigated the effect of the use of different heat sinks (outer heat sinks) on the cooler box performance. Meanwhile, different heat sinks have different capacity to remove heat from the hot side of TE. Although the power used to operate the cooler box is the same, but different heat sinks employed may result in different performances. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of two different outer heat sinks on the cooler box performance.

2. RESEARCH METHOD 2.1 Experimental Facility and Method
The schematic diagram of the cooler box system is shown in Fig. 1. At the beginning of the experiment, all temperatures were the same as the ambient temperature. For simplifying the cooler box model, the cooler box was made of styrofoam materials. Such cooler box is usually used by fishermen when they are fishing. However, this box can also be utilized for cooling drinking water or soft drink or even ice creams.

All temperatures were measured using calibrated K-type thermocouples with an uncertainty of ± 0.5°C. While the power flowed to the thermoelectric was measured using a multimeter (model Professional Vichy Vc8145 Dmm Digital Bench Top Multimeter), see Fig. 2(d). The thermoelectric used was double plate thermoelectric (model TEC2-25408) as shown in Fig. 2(c). The material of the thermoelectric is ceramic (both surface), the semiconductor material (between two ceramic plates). The dimension of TE is 40 mm x 40 mm x 6.0 mm, and the TE contains 190 stacks of the P-N semiconductor junction. The rated voltage, current and power are 12-15.2 V, 8 A, and 65 W respectively. The maximum temperature difference is 80°C.
Meanwhile, the two types of the outer heat sink were heat sink fin-fan and double fan heat pipe, as shown in Fig. 2(a) and (b), and their specifications are shown in Table 2. The size of the cooler box was approximately of 285 mm x 245 mm x 200 mm, while the thickness of the box walls was 30 mm. Therefore, the volume of the cooler box is of 0.00489 m³.
Experiments were conducted using two different heat removal units, and the data were analyzed to determine the cooling capacities (QC) and the COP. After that, the QC and COP obtained using heat sink fin-fan unit are compared with those attained using the double fan heat pipe unit. All experiments were conducted under the same conditions. In addition, experiments investigating the effect of the thermoelectric power on the cooler box performances were also performed as additional information in this paper. The power used in this study were ranging from 1.04 W to 38.76 W, see Table 3.

2.2 Heat Transfer Analysis
In this study, some equations are used to estimate the cooling capacity such as heat from the air inside the cooler box, heat conduction through the cooler box walls, COP. To estimate the air heat absorbed by the inner heat sink, an equation taken from Cengel (2003) can be utilized. This equation was also used by Ananta et al. (2017), Gokcek and Sahin (2017). Actually, this equation is an equation to predict the heat from the product in the refrigerator or cooler box. In this study, inside the cooler box is only air, therefore, the air represents the product owing mass and

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1 Temperatures and ∆T
This current study was intended to investigate the different performance of the thermoelectric cooler box using two different heat removal units.
However, the important things indicating the thermoelectric cooler box performances are the cooler box temperature and coefficient of performance (COP). Cooler box temperatures were measured for about 10000 s so that the transient trends of the temperature could be seen entirety, see figure 3. In general, figure 3 shows that increasing the power decreases the room temperatures. At the power of about 1 W, the room temperature that can be reached is around 18°C for the heat sink and fan (HSF), or 16°C for the double fan heat pipe (DFHP). All temperatures decrease with increasing observation time as also found by Totala et al.
(2014), Tan and Zhao (2015), Ananta et al. (2017). Using DFHP, the cooler box has lower temperatures at the same power, however, figure 3 may not be able to be used for making a conclusion about the use of HSF or DFHP. The reason is that the room temperature resulted depends on the hot side temperature as well. Higher hot side temperatures at the same given power may elevate the room temperature and vice versa.
Therefore, using temperature differences to assess the performance of the cooler box employing HSF and DFHP is more convenient.

From Fig. 4, it can be seen that at the same given power, using HSF results in higher ∆T. Meanwhile, based on the theory of thermoelectric, see Eq. (5), higher ∆T at the same power reduces the cooling capacity of the TE. http://www.ferrotec- nord.com/support /cho
