Solar-powered refrigerator protects vaccines when power is lost

VC60SDD

Discover: Dulas solar-powered refrigerators demonstrate the use of renewable energy and how it can save lives. Off-grid refrigerators ensure the safe storage of vaccines even when the main power supply is down, allowing routine immunisation campaigns to proceed uninterrupted.

The VC60SDD Solar Direct Drive Refrigerator & Freezer is a combined vaccine refrigerator and water pack freezer. With a vaccine storage capacity of 57 litres and a freezer capable of storing 23 x 0.6 litre fully frozen water packs, it is the perfect solution for small and mid-sized health facilities conducting outreach programmes. The VC60SDD has been independently verified to deliver 4 x 0.6L fully frozen water packs each day (2.4kg of ice), even at +43C ambient, making it easier to plan outreach activities.

Like all our SDD refrigerators, the VC60SDD utilises our optimised solar technology to offer the perfect balance of array size and autonomy, delivering exceptional reliability whatever the weather. Fully GAVI CCEOP compliant with the highest level of Grade A Freeze Protection and a +5C to +43C extended temperature operating range.

Dulas refrigerators now come with an integrated Beyond ICE3 device fitted at no additional cost. Applying RTM technology is a simple way to improve the reliability of cold chain equipment, enhance maintenance and ensure fewer vaccines are spoiled. Subscription can be activated at purchase or switched on remotely at any point after commissioning the refrigerator.

It was the oil price crisis resulting from war in the Middle East that spawned commercial inter...
