Portable-smart refrigerator methods and systems

Abstract

In one aspect, a portable-smart refrigerator includes a lid assembly comprising a lid coupled with a lid bottom cover for fastening the lid assembly to an internal upper portion of a PCM chamber assembly. The portable-smart refrigerator includes a grill assembly comprising a top base, a pump bracket, a middle base, a bottom base. The top based hold the pump bracket. The top base is coupled with the middle base. The middle base is coupled with the bottom base. The portable-smart refrigerator includes a cooling-coil assembly comprising a feeding tube, a top elbow, a bottom tube, a cooling coil. The top elbow is installed between two lengths of tubing/pipe to enable a change of direction and couples the feeding tube with the cooling coil. The cooling coil is coupled with the bottom tube. The portable-smart refrigerator includes the phase change material (PCM) chamber assembly that holds the cooling coil. The PCM chamber is placed within an outer cylinder. A bottom portion of the PCM chamber assembly is coupled with the grill assembly. A sleeve assembly forming a portion of the outer cylinder.
