Objectif In countries with a high level of sunshine there is a considerable demand for cold supply. Statistics have shown that in sough Europe nearly 10% of fresh food become worse in quality due to the lack of sufficient refrigeration. This concerns in particular structurally weak rural areas in Southern Europe (Greece, Spain, Portugal, etc.) which represent about 2/3 of the total territory in these regions. The main problems in these thinly populated areas are often the logistics and the lack of infrastructure. Against this background there is a major demand for new and innovative solutions for decentralised and combined cooling processes. Solar refrigeration plants are ideal for keeping foodstuffs fresh, since the solar radiation which "causes" the need for refrigeration is available in sufficient quantities. The COOLTAINER proposed here can be used for different applications such, for examples the storage of fresh fish, meat and vegetables and also of medicine. Prior to the project, the possibility of application on a large scale was tested by means of some basic system-related laboratory trials and the results were positive. The objective is to develop further and optimise the COOLTAINER in the framework of a research project so that upon complete Champ scientifique engineering and technologyother engineering and technologiesfood technologyengineering and technologymechanical engineeringthermodynamic engineeringnatural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencesatmospheric sciencesmeteorologysolar radiationagricultural sciencesagriculture, forestry, and fisheriesagriculturehorticulturevegetable growing Programme(s) FP5-EESD - Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Energy, environment and sustainable development, 1998-2002" Thème(s) 1.1.4.-6. - Key action Economic and Efficient Energy for a Competitive Europe Appel à propositions Data not available Régime de financement EAW - Exploratory awards Coordinateur CRYCLE CRYOGENIC DEVELOPMENT N.V.
