Different Products require
different temperature conditions
• Insulation
• cooling unit
Capacity utilization in Indian
cold chain sector 30 – 75 %

Limitations in last mile distribution
• Roads
• fragmented cold storage
• Small volumes
Vaccines, cold foods less in tier 3-4
regions (30% unpenetrated market)

Back-up for temp. critical applications.
upto 72 hours.
Reduces energy consumption, noise and emissions.
Uses off peak electricity.
Increases Payload.
No cooling equipment, doubles as insulation too.

What are PCMs ?
Materials that can store large amount of heat energy in the form of latent
heat
Release/absorption of heat at almost constant temperature
Also called Passive cooling materials.
Heat Absorption / Release process repeatable over a substantial number
of cycles (~ 3000 or more)

□ Very high Latent Heat Capacity
□ Tailorable for specific
250
temperature requirements
200
□ Easy handling; can be filled in a
150
variety of encapsulations
100
□ Cheap & very stable over long
50
durations
0
□ Repeatable phase change cycles Stone Plastic Wood Water PCM
□ Low / No flammability
□ Non Toxic and Non combustible For T = 15 K
PCM’s Latent heat = 225 kJ / kg
