Research and Development Fund: Innovator Series- The Sure Chill Company

How smart controllers can help to unlock universal access to domestic refrigeration

Access to refrigeration at the household level can provide a wide range of benefits, from extending the life of fresh produce to reducing the time spent on gathering and preparing food (especially for women and girls).

The Sure Chill Company is a cooling technology company based in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom. Its patented technology harnesses a unique property of water to enable continuous cooling from inconsistent power.

The Efficiency for Access Research and Development Fund supported Sure Chill in the development of an innovative refrigerator control platform and compressor combination for integration with a solar home system in its 2019 Open Call. The aim was to develop a prototype device that could be scaled for mass production.

This project report details the outcomes of the successful completion of the project.
