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.

Innovations to close the gaps - PCMs
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.
Increases Payload. No cooling equipment, doubles as No cooling equipment, doubles as insulation too.insulation too.

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
