Passive Refrigeration—PRS™ technology is based on thermal accumu-lation (“Thermal Charge”) achieved through the freezing of eutectics obtained by circulatingcold brine when power is available and/or has a competitive price. After the initial “ThermalCharge” the fusion enthalpy provides the energy necessary to absorb the released heatprogressively and proportionally to requirements, maintaining optimal preservation conditionsfor the specified period (“Thermal Autonomy” from 2 up to 30 days or more) without furtheruse of energy and cooling groups.
