Mobile Thermoelectric Refigerator

The mobile thermoelectric refrigerator is a cost-efficient, low-energy mobile refrigerator to combat global refrigeration challenges. Using thermoelectric technology, this innovative cooling system allows villages in India (the world’s leading milk producer) to store their milk overnight and transport it up to 15 miles to pasteurization facilities. The unit requires minimal power and has the added ability to operate from off-grid power sources. In developing countries, the lack of infrastructure (roads, electricity) make refrigeration at the point of production or refrigerated transport unfeasible. Specifically, keeping milk from contamination from airborne diseases (such as Listeria) remains a serious problem, although overlooked.
