Solar & Mobile Refrigeration

Refrigerators and freezers are designed to keep food and goods, such as vaccines cool. Cooling becomes more of a challenge  when the energy source is intermittent, for example, when using solar panels. CrodaTherm™ bio-based phase change materials can be used within the body of the refrigerator and store cold while the refrigerator is operating. When power is not available, for example at night, the PCM melts to absorb heat from the external environment, keeping goods cool. This means that the refrigerator will stay cool even without electricity supply and unlike backup battery packs, a PCM will not degrade over time and does not need to be checked or replaced regularly.
