Problem Statement-
• As per WHO guidelines most of the vaccines should be preserved
at refrigeration temperature such as (2°C to 8°C).
WHO Guidelines for
Vaccine Storage
• Vaccine potency losses due to improper storage conditions.
Effects of Improper
Handling of Vaccines
• Indian rural and remote areas facing power outage for longer
periods to store the vaccines at prescribed temperature range.
Higher Power Cutoff
Frequency
• Vaccine should be delivered to each and every recipient in
proper condition.
End Mile Delivery of
Vaccines
3.
• Loss ofpotency of vaccines should be prevented during power failure in vaccine storage system. By using Phase
Change Material (PCM) as latent heat thermal energy storage (TES) system it will maintain the temperature of 2°C to
8°C in the vaccine storage system during power failure.
• The main objective is to improve the performance, cooling time period i.e. to maintain the constant refrigeration effect
for 8 to 10 hours during power cut off by using PCM. Also IoT is proposed in this system for monitoring of
parameters such as temperature, humidity and GPS location of the cold box on the smart phone during power failure
and transportation.
