Isobar Cooling Tank Keeps Vaccines Cool

Sep-12-16 Designed for use in rural and hard-to-access areas, the Isobar cooling tank invention would help save lives by keeping vaccines cool, and therefore viable, longer.

Created by a British student Will Broadway, the Isobar cooling tank heats ammonia and water to produce ammonia vapors that are released into the tank to cool the interior and contents. The tank can maintain a temperature between two and eight degrees for up to thirty days, and the cooling ammonia vapor can be triggered as needed, reducing the chances of the vaccines becoming too cold.

The Isobar device has been awarded a James Dyson Award for a student-designed example of a simple way to solve a pressing problem.
