Chaldal and Indafre

Colombian innovator Indafre is teaming up with Chaldal on a pilot that aims to provide stationary and mobile cooling in areas where the electricity grid is weak, replacing the need for expensive and polluting diesel generators or diesel-powered refrigerated reefer trucks. The solution uses insulated boxes with PCM passive cooling and active boxes fitted with a DC-motor operated by a vapor compression refrigeration system with lithium ferro phosphate batteries. The partners will also field test the passively-cooled boxes for inter-city, intra-city, and last mile deliveries of chilled and frozen groceries.
