The client had identified an opportunity for a more effective design of cool box to carry vaccines, blood products and transplant organs exploiting the benefits of solid state cooling devices and monitoring the system with an integral microprocessor. The internal temperature of the container would be recorded at regular intervals thus verifying that the quality of the contents is maintained.

The design concept was optimised for useability, capacity, thermal efficiency, weight, cost and transportability. A concurrent approach was utilised enabling the project from concept to working prototype to be completed within a tight 8 month time frame.
