Vacuum Insulation Panel(VIP) Integrated Vaccine Storage Device

摘要：

　　We report the development of an optimised vacuum panel insulated vaccine storage device (VSD) intended for storing vaccines at 4~8℃ for up to 35 days without any active means of cooling.The vaccine chamber performance relies on an innovative arrangement of an ice container and vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) in conjunction with Sure Chills patented heat transfer element.The development and optimisation of the vaccine chamber design involved complex COMSOL finite element analysis modelling coupled with an extensive experimental programme to collect performance data under realistic operating and boundary conditions.Simulations have shown that the optimised vaccine chambered reported here is able to maintain ice at <10 ℃ for over 30 days.
