About Global Ice Tec
GLOBAL ICE TEC AG, based in Chemnitz, develops cooling systems for regions with unstable or absent power supply. The core product is the UNOCOOL® 165, a solar direct drive refrigerator that operates without batteries and is based on ice storage technology. The patented technology keeps the interior temperature below +8 °C for several days depending on the outside temperature and requires up to 30 % less energy than conventional appliances. In combination with a single standard solar module, the system is fully energy-autonomous, robust, low-maintenance and emission-free in daily operation. The refrigerator uses a non-toxic, environmentally friendly refrigerant and omits dehumidification of the interior, which keeps contents fresh longer without additional packaging. The products are primarily aimed at households and applications in developing and emerging countries as well as off-grid regions in Africa, where they contribute to food cooling, medicine storage and the reduction of post-harvest losses.
