Mirai-intex.com is a globally recognized company that produces refrigeration equipment. They aim at promoting safe and environmentally friendly solutions rather than using hazardous fluorinated gases. In this era of industrial growth and climate change, our company focuses on making air cycle refrigeration systems that use natural air by eliminating refrigerants like CFCs and HFCs. Our mission is to offer energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and high-performing cold chain solutions to target sustainable and safe temperature control.
The cold chain is a temperature-regulated supply chain that is required for maintaining the safety, standards, and efficacy of biodegradable and sensitive products. This is possible by storing these products at the necessary temperature from the time of their manufacture until they are sold to the customers. The evolving innovations in the cold chain industry are a bane to the public healthcare system, along with food security and eco-logistics.
Significance of an Effective Cold Chain
As mentioned above, the cold chain makes sure that the perishable products are preserved and stored safely, and hence it is important for the following industries:
Biotech & Medical Research
These research facilities deal with important substances like DNA/RNA samples, stem cells, cell cultures, and cryogenic samples, which require ultra-low temperatures—below -100°C and sometimes as low as -196°C—by using liquid nitrogen. These extreme conditions are strictly necessary to preserve the feasibility of the samples in making regenerative medicines, clinical trials, or biological research. Failure to maintain the said temperature can lead to sample reactions.
Pharmaceuticals
Various pharmaceutical products are highly reactive to temperature fluctuations. Vaccines like the COVID-19 (Pfizer-BioNTech’s mRNA vaccine) need to be stored at -70°C, whereas biologics and insulin require being stored at 2°C to 8°C. These products will lose their effectiveness if the instructed temperature is not maintained during the preservation and transportation procedure and hence increase health risks. The report says that there is a significant loss of global vaccines every year due to improper cold chain temperature management.
Food & Agriculture
Food products like dairy, meat, vegetables, and frozen seafood need cold chain management to stay fresh and edible. For example, frozen foods are advised to be kept at -18°C (0°F) or lower to prevent bacterial growth and nutrient loss. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set clear rules and regulations for frozen food product handlers to prevent foodborne infections.
Challenges to Modern Cold Chain
The cold chain system meets various urgent challenges, and they are as follows:
Environmental Influence
Traditional refrigerators and associated cooling devices depend on HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons) and CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) as synthetic refrigerants, which are thousands of times worse than CO₂ and lead to global warming.
Regulations
Countries like the U.S., in order to fight climate change, passed an agreement for reducing the use of hazardous refrigerants called HFCs. This is a part of the Kigali Amendment that orders companies to switch to environmentally safe and cleaner cooling systems.
High-Energy Usage
Ultra-low temperature cooling systems require a lot of electricity to function, which can even rise to as much as 20 kilowatt-hours per day for one unit. Therefore, these freezers are very expensive and lead to carbon emissions in the environment.
Maintenance
Most of the freezers use oil-based compressors that often leak oil and cause damage. Hence, regular checkups and repairs are necessary for quality working.
Strategies to Reshaping the Cold Chain
Oil-free Turbo Compressors
The present-day compressors claim to be 100% oil-free, reducing maintenance requirements and contamination risks. They are made to be long-lasting, energy-efficient, and easier to recycle.
Air Cycle Refrigeration
The modern air cycle refrigerators use naturally filtrated air as coolant instead of chemical refrigerants like HFCs, CFCs, and many more. This makes sure that the freezer does not release any toxicity and GWP (Global Warming Potentials) into the environment. Using this technology in cold chains is much needed for a sustainable environment.
Heat Recovery Systems
Innovative heat recovery systems are used to recycle the waste energy emitted during the cooling process. This enables other facilities to reuse this excess heat for other performances.
Ultra-Low Temperature Management
Safe cooling freezers support a low temperature range from -40°C to -120°C, as it is suitable for prolonged cryogenic sample storage, plasma and cell tissue logistics, and mRNA vaccine preservation. These modern technologies allow associated businesses to foster eco-friendly rules and create less pollution.
Importance of Smart Monitoring in Cold Chain Operations
Managing a cold chain does not only focus on temperature control but also on using smart data-driven tools to improve the functioning of the system. Using efficient data and tools helps in monitoring the cooling process. Moreover, at MIRAI INDEX, you will get advanced tracking devices in its cooling freezers so that the temperature is visible all the time and can be fixed prior to any problems. This saves up a lot of energy and hence prevents product waste, reduces electricity use, and follows safe and eco-friendly regulations.
