Abstract

It is very important to carry out vaccination campaigns in the marginalized areas of our country, because they are more vulnerable to contracting diseases, but to do the appropriate containers are needed so that they arrive with their properties and to protect each person. The Seasonal Influenza vaccine is transported in portable refrigerators at a temperature of 2 and 8 ° C, and the storage time is within 3 and 7 days for the first and 12 to 36 hours for the second. This paper presents the modeling and simulation by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) of a refrigerated system, from thermoelectric cells, for the storage of influenza vaccines. The results show the temperature distribution within the refrigerated system and the transfer of heat in each container element, as well as the most appropriate arrangement to keep each vaccine to the optimal storage temperature. Being able to count on portable systems that allow the optimal transfer of vaccines keeping refrigerated in a constant way would have a positive impact on the health of people who live in marginalized areas.
