Abstract

The medicine and vaccine require to store in the refrigerator the continuous provision of electrical energy is required so that their efficiency is not affected. This represents an important problem for rural areas where there is no continuous electrical energy. In this case, design a solar energy system for refrigeration of medicines to be used in rural towns.The main goal of this study is to design, develop and fabricate a solar-powered portable medical refrigerator that will be able to attain the desired temperature for the storage of medicines. In the design, a refrigerator operating under the principle and vapour compression refrigeration system will be fabricated. The device was powered with solar energy through the use of solar panels to charge a lead acid battery. The device was able to completely run on solar energy. The refrigerator maintains a temperature of 2 to 6°c. In solar powered refrigerators they are used inverter to convert DC to AC power but in rural areas inverter is very costly so by DC power is used to run compressor and it will reduce cost of inverter and energy efficient.
