Several
thousand people in Nepal die every year due to lack of vaccines and
medications in remote and even urban areas. Others
die or become ill due to using vaccines or medicines damaged or made
useless by high temperatures (improper storage). These Vaccine
Refrigerators protect vaccines and medicines (snake bite anti-venom
also) from harmful high temperatures and physical damage
Solar
Vaccine Refrigerator from Sunfrost
The SUN FROST RFVB refrigerator employs unique design innovations to
achieve its exceptionally low energy consumption. The heart of the system
is a highly efficient compressor and condenser. Top mounting the cooling
system lowers the energy consumption in two ways: (1) heat gain into the
cabinet is reduced and (2) the lower condenser temperature increases the
efficiency of the cooling system.
Lotus Energy has successfully installed
many of these solar vaccine
refrigerators in several health posts
like Telok, Sablakhu, Mamanke, Seduwa, Mashring and Hangpang in the Teplejung
district of Nepal and several others are awaiting to be
installed in the near future.
