Design and Performance Analysis of a Biodiesel Engine Driven Refrigeration System for Vaccine Storage
A compact, stand-alone, refrigeration module powered by a small biodiesel engine for vaccine storage in rural use was proposed. The engine was of single cylinder, four-stroke, direct<br />injection with displacement of 0.296 cm3 and compression ratio of 20:1. The refrigeration system was modif...
