Bottlenecks in cold chain4
Capacity utilization in Indian cold chain sector 30 – 75 %
Different Products require different temperature conditions• Insulation
• cooling unit

Bottlenecks in cold chain5
Limitations in last mile distribution
Vaccines, cold foods less in tier 3-4 regions (30% unpenetrated market)

4. Technologies are present, but their dissemination and adoption are limited.
• Limiting Pollution: Noise and emissions.
• Freeing Capacity: improving payload.
• Timed redundancy: Thermal Inertia.
• Risk Minimised: Chill injury mitigated.

Temperatures maintained without external source. -37°C to +89°C . -37°C to +89°C .
Back-up for temp. critical applications. upto 72 hours.upto 72 hours.
Reduces energy consumption, noise and emissions. Uses off peak electricity. Uses off peak electricity.

Pluss's Offerings
What are PCMs ? Materials that can store large amount of heat energy in
the form of latent heat
Release/absorption of heat at almost constant temperature
Also called Passive cooling materials.
Heat Absorption / Release process repeatable over a
substantial number of cycles (~ 3000 or more)

PCM Characteristics
□ Very high Latent Heat Capacity
□ Tailorable for specific temperature requirements
□ Easy handling; can be filled in a variety of encapsulations
□ Cheap & very stable over long durations
□ Repeatable phase change cycles
□ Low / No flammability□ Non Toxic and Non
combustible
For T = 15 K
PCM’s Latent heat = 225 kJ / kg
