Transit Food Storage Device with Multi-layer Energy Storage Insulation
Tags: IIT Madras, India, Infrastructure, Utilities & Communications, Agriculture & Food
This transit food storage device features multi-layer high thermal density energy storage (HTDES) insulation, offering efficient temperature regulation for perishable goods during transportation without active refrigeration. It operates using a passive cooling system that reduces energy consumption and operational costs by 40%, ensuring sustainability. Designed for fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meats, it supports temperature ranges from -50°C to +10°C. This solution enhances food safety, minimizes spoilage, and is scalable for diverse logistics needs. The technology addresses global cold chain challenges, offering a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to conventional refrigerated transport systems.
