MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611114801 A) filed by Chandigarh University on September 25, 2026, for Iot-Enabled Dual-Chamber Hybrid Eco-Cooling System.
Inventors include Sangeeta; and Naveen Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an IoT-enabled dual-chamber hybrid agricultural storage apparatus for simultaneous storage of dry grains and perishable produce. The apparatus comprises physically separated chambers having independently managed storage conditions, a solar photovoltaic power unit, a thermoelectric cooling module, an evaporative cooling arrangement, a desiccant-based dehumidification arrangement, a sensor assembly, an active ventilation system, a microcontroller and an IoT communication unit. A cold side of the thermoelectric cooling module provides cooling to the produce chamber, while heat generated at a hot side is directed towards regeneration of the desiccant material associated with the grain chamber. The sensor assembly monitors temperature, humidity and gas-related parameters, and the microcontroller automatically controls ventilation based on predetermined threshold conditions. The IoT communication unit transmits storage-condition data and alerts to a remote monitoring platform, thereby enabling continuous monitoring and timely intervention for reducing post-harvest crop deterioration.
