Reflect Scientific offers cryogenic reefer cooling

Reflect Scientific Inc has received an order for its cooling system for use in overland refrigerated trucks and in the broader transportation industry. The new system deploys a cryogenic fluid as the cooling medium and is specifically configured as a direct replacement for older mechanical-style units.

“Existing units are problematic with respect to emissions of fine particulates, carbon dioxide, and noise. The Cryometrix system offers a lower-cost clean-tech alternative that avoids the use of diesel fuel, emits no regulated emissions, and provides users with a low-maintenance, quiet, environmentally friendly operation,” said Kim Boyce, president and chief executive officer of Reflect Scientific.

“Cold chain management is now becoming a major focus for the company,” he said. “There are reported to be approximately 350,000 reefer trucks in operation within the United States, so this represents a significant opportunity for our business as well as providing this industry with a clean renewable alternate energy source that alleviates the need for consumption of diesel fuel and its associated carbon footprint.”

Cryometrix, a wholly owned subsidiary of Reflect Scientific, develops, manufactures, and markets refrigeration and cryogenic preservation equipment for the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and transportation industries. For more information, go to www.cryometrix.com or www.reflectscientific.com.
