Abstract

Adsorption cooling is a process that uses a drop-in pressure caused by the adsorption of adsorbate by adsorbent. Adsorption process creates a pressure drop which can bring down the temperature to the intended condition. This approach can be used in vaccine transportation as the vaccines need to be stored at low temperatures (2°C to 8°C for preserving vaccines). The pressure decrease can be obtained by adsorption water in zeolites and can also produce the temperature drop in the main chamber. The adsorption process of water will decrease until reaching saturation condition. Heat is needed to keep the system continuous as it starts a desorption process. From the simulation using MATLAB, it is found that the mobile vaccine refrigerator can reach the temperature of 2°C in 180 seconds with the amount of cooling power generated is up to 1530?W. The insulation can hold the allowable temperature range inside the vaccine cabin for 15.6795 hours.
