A Device That Transforms Refrigerators into Vaccine Cabinets: Vaccine Preservation System

Abstract

This invention is an external control device used to convert existing refrigerators into vaccine storage cabinets, ensuring vaccines are kept between +2°C and +8°C during power outages and in extremely cold conditions. The system consists of three different digital thermostats and the cooling-heating mechanism they control. Precise temperature control is achieved with the first thermostat controlling the refrigerator's main power supply, the second thermostat controlling the transfer of cold air from the freezer compartment to the vaccine compartment, and the third thermostat controlling the heating fan in the vaccine compartment. The system continues to operate on battery power during power outages, providing cooling by transferring cold air from the freezer to the vaccine compartment with the help of ice packs and a centrifugal fan. In cold conditions, the heating fan prevents the vaccines from freezing. Thanks to this system, existing refrigerators can be economically converted into fully functional vaccine storage cabinets.

Description

TARIFF A Device That Transforms Refrigerators into Vaccine Cabinets: Vaccine Preservation System Technical Area: This invention is an electrical device used to convert refrigerators into vaccine storage cabinets. During power outages and in extreme hot and cold conditions, vaccines are stored between +2°C and +8°C. It is related to a device that enables this. State of the Art: Existing vaccine refrigerators and freezers become inoperable during power outages, affecting the vaccines. maintaining the necessary temperature range between +2°C and +8°C for preservation is unable to do so. In the event of a power outage, a generator or High power-consuming and costly solutions such as uninterruptible power supplies are needed. Current systems prevent vaccines from freezing in cold conditions and from freezing in hot conditions. mechanisms to prevent vaccines from deteriorating due to exposure to high temperatures They are inadequate. These refrigerators can neither offer an alternative cooling solution during power outages nor... It can provide heating at low temperatures. Additionally, it is used for cooling in existing vaccine refrigerators. The compressor needs to be run continuously, which leads to high energy costs. Especially during power outages, and in extremely cold or hot weather conditions, vaccines need to be stored at the ideal temperature. Failure to maintain them within the prescribed range leads to both vaccine losses and disruptions to healthcare services. This is the reason. 1 Purpose of the Invention: The present invention transforms refrigerators used in healthcare facilities into an efficient vaccine storage system. by transforming and integrating this device that we have developed into refrigerators, we can create a new vaccine. The company aims to produce a cabinet that, thanks to this transformation, can withstand power outages and different environments. Under these conditions, vaccines are stored at ideal temperatures (+2°C to +8°C). This invention is intended, in particular, for uninterruptible power supply and precise temperature control. Equipped with mechanisms that prevent vaccines from freezing in winter and summer During the months when vaccines are exposed to high temperatures, this invention prevents them from spoiling. Integrated battery for emergency situations such as natural disasters and prolonged power outages. Thanks to its system, it can operate without interruption. This invention integrates the device into refrigerators. by ensuring the effective use of vaccines, offering an economical solution to healthcare institutions. This ensures the protection of the cold chain. Thus, both preventive health services can be provided without interruption. This ensures sustainability and prevents potential vaccine losses, thereby conserving national resources. This contributes to its efficient use. 2 Explanation of the Figures: Figure 1: View of the device integrated with the refrigerator. Figure 2: Electrical wiring diagram of the device.

The first digital thermostat (1) controls the main power supply of the refrigerator. by keeping the temperature constant at +4°C. The second digital thermostat (2) monitors the vaccine via heat sensors (18). It constantly measures the temperature in compartment (20) and if it rises above +8°C, the ice packs (19) provides cold air transfer from the compartment where it is located to the vaccination compartment (20) with the centrifugal fan (16). The third digital thermostat (3) controls the heater fan (17) in the vaccine compartment, keeping the temperature at +2°C. It prevents it from falling below the power supply. While the system is running on mains electricity, it also uses the battery unit (4) It charges via the charge controller adapter (5). In case of power failure, the system automatically It continues to operate with the battery unit. The electrical protection of the system is provided by fuse (6). is provided and the whole system is controlled by the on / off switch (7). 4 How the invention can be applied to industry. After five years of rigorous testing, this device, which has been developed, transforms the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. by effectively utilizing the cold air in the compartment, with a battery unit of suitable capacity During power outages, keep vaccines at the ideal temperature range for at least 24 hours. It has been determined that this innovative solution, compared to traditional generators and power sources, It offers significant economic advantages. This invention can be used in all healthcare institutions operating in our country, especially family health centers. Refrigerators currently in use in hospitals and health centers can be used for vaccine storage. It is applicable in converting the system. The system uses standard electronic components and cooling.
