However, raw milk is a very perishable foodstuff and hence its quality deteriorates considerably without further treatment by chilling or heating. A cooling system enables the milk to be transported to markets, where better quality gives access to price premiums.<br /> <br /> In order to give farmers access to off-grid cooling systems, the University of Hohenheim developed the Solar Milk Cooling technology, which was piloted in Kenya, Tunisia and Colombia in combination with technical trainings. The system comprises of a milk can with an isolation blanket and a small solar-powered ice maker. The ice from the ice maker is used to cool down the milk in the can overnight which can then be sold the next day. <br /> <br /> The cooling technology has been tested reliable: the system has a stable PV power to ice-making performance ratio, it has minimal wear and tear components, and it is hardly depending on batteries.<br /> |PAT Technology Application Solar=Solar<br /> |PAT Commodity Dairy Products=Dairy products<br /> |PAT Value Controlled Atmosphere=Controlled Atmosphere<br /> |PAT Value Preservation=Preservation<br /> |PAP Links=https://energypedia.info/wiki/Solar_Milk_Cooling_with_Insulated_Milk_Cans <br /> https://energypedia.info/wiki/File:Techsheet_A3_solar_milk_cooling_V3.0.pdf <br /> <br /> }}</div>
