Solar Refrigerators – Designed for Low Energy Consumption And Greater Reliability

Feb. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Solar refrigerators reduce greenhouse gases because they don’t rely on grid or diesel generators source of electricity. Refrigeration is produced with photovoltaic cells that harvest energy from the sun into electrical power. Solar refrigerators also have thick insulation, typically about 4 inches. Initial costs for purchasing a solar refrigerator are higher than that for a conventional, electric refrigerator.

SunDanzer (USA based company) have Solar Powered Refrigerators for Remote Homes, Cabins, Medical Clinics, Remote Stores, Farms, Boats and Marine, Villages and Vaccine Storage. Available sizes range between 50 and 225 liters.

These low-cost, portable refrigerators are often used by remote home and cabin owners and RV owners. They typically run on a 12 / 24 -volt backup battery and reach temperatures about 30 degrees cooler than that of the surrounding temperature. All the models have exceptionally low energy consumption requiring smaller, less expensive power systems and low operating expense.

SunDanzer Solar refrigerators are also being considered as a mechanism to deliver food and vaccines in countries in need. Kerosene refrigerators, used historically for that purpose, need about a liter of kerosene per day and aren’t reliable for maintaining required vaccine temperatures. Solar Vaccine Refrigerators, which rely on batteries, have great potential for lower running costs, greater reliability and a longer working life than kerosene refrigerators.

Low energy consumption is the key that allows SunDanzer refrigerators and freezers to be cost effectively powered from solar, wind, fuel cells or batteries. This technology allows refrigeration in remote locations where it was previously unavailable or prohibitively expensive. The output of a photovoltaic array will vary according to the location at which it is to be installed and the refrigerator energy consumption will depend on local climate. Therefore the size of the solar array, the battery storage capacity and hence the system cost will vary depending on location.
