MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611065623 A) filed by Chandigarh University on May 25, 2026, for An Intelligent Compartment-Adaptive Refrigerator With Dynamic Thermal Response And Energy Optimization.

Inventors include Simran; Mohit Kumar; Yatharth Sharma; Onkesh; and Shivam Mehta.

The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an intelligent refrigerator system configured for compartment-wise adaptive cooling to improve energy efficiency and food preservation. The refrigerator comprises multiple storage compartments equipped with weight sensors and temperature sensors for detecting load conditions, food quantity, and thermal variations within each compartment. A control unit processes sensor data to dynamically regulate cooling intensity according to real-time compartment demand instead of applying uniform cooling throughout the refrigerator. Directed airflow channels selectively deliver chilled air to compartments requiring greater cooling, while compartment isolation boundaries reduce cold-air leakage to unused or low-load sections. The system further includes embedded control logic with optional IoT connectivity for remote monitoring, alerts, and operational supervision. A fail-safe cooling mode maintains essential refrigeration during sensor, controller, or network failure. The invention reduces energy consumption, enhances cooling efficiency, and improves operational reliability compared to conventional refrigeration systems.
