Cold chain control by solid-gas thermochemical systems: a new autonomous cold production storage.

Summary

A thermochemical system based on a solid-gas reaction or adsorption, coupled to a liquid-gas change-phase enables a high cooling capacity per weigh unit or volume unit. The cooling power depends on the operating conditions, the reactors geometry and thermophysical properties of the reactive medium. A designing study and the experimental performances of such a thermochemical system (ammonia-chloride reactor) designed for a cold production at 3-4 deg C during 8 hours inside a container is presented. An average cold power of 60 watts is needed in such a container.
