What Is the Solar Direct Drive Ref. Zero Used For?

The Ref. Zero is meant for facilities that keep a sizeable vaccine stock on site, such as a community health centre or a base that re-supplies several outreach points. Because it is a solar direct drive appliance, its compressor draws on the solar array rather than on a mains line or a generator, so the store can stay cold where grid power never reached or fails for long periods. A 128-litre compartment gives room to separate antigens and diluents in an orderly way instead of crowding a small unit.

The specification ties the solar power system to the appliance’s consumption, the local climate, ambient temperatures and a solar radiation reference of 3.5 kWh/m² per 24 hours. That reference is the design figure used to size the array, so give us your site location or sunshine data when enquiring; installers should then follow the technician’s manual for panel placement and wiring.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • Number of refrigerators and the facilities they will serve.
  • Confirmation that 128 litres of net storage matches your stock plan, or whether a smaller SDD model is preferred.
  • Site location or solar radiation data, for comparison with the 3.5 kWh/m² per 24 hours sizing reference.
  • Whether water-packs must also be frozen on site, since this specification lists no freezer section.

Related Cold Chain, Solar & Communication Equipment

Health centres that run a 128-litre SDD store usually need these alongside it:

  • Solar Direct Drive Frz. — a solar freezer for water-packs, as the Ref. Zero is a refrigerator only.
  • Cold Box — for collecting bulk stock and carrying it to the store.
  • 30 Day logger — to keep a temperature history of the refrigerator.
  • Mains Ref 128L — the same net volume for sites with a reliable mains supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much vaccine does the Solar Direct Drive Ref. Zero hold?
