Short term, Light weight, Low volume Refrigeration Design

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a lightweight and compact refrigeration system to maintain a temperature of approximately 5 degrees Celsius in a shoe box-sized volume for 20 minutes. The project constraints emphasize a weight limit of less than 1 kg and minimal space usage. Participants suggest exploring alternatives to dry ice for temperature control. Ideas for achieving efficient cooling within these parameters are encouraged. The conversation highlights the challenge of balancing performance with size and weight limitations.

Hello Guys,

This is my first time posting here - just wondering if anyone has some insight on a project that I am working on. I want to be able to temperature control an insulated shoe box sized volume at ~5 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes. The main constraints are that I would need the temperature control system to be lightweight (<1kg) and occupy only a small fraction of the shoe box volume.

Any ideas would be welcomed! I would rather not just throw a block of dry ice in the container, though.

You've about optimized it.
