What is Global Ice Tec?
Global Ice Tec presents THE NEW ART OF COOLING – reliable and energy-independent cooling for food. Food refrigeration is essential for survival, even during extraordinary challenges like pandemics… Recognizing that food refrigeration is crucial in crisis times such as corona shutdowns, Global Ice Tec maintains operations to ensure that even when energy supplies are patchy, the vital cooling of food continues uninterrupted. GLOBAL ICE TEC AG is pioneering a new generation save cooling technology that guarantees reliable cooling for at least three days, thanks to its patented, robust, and low-maintenance design. This technology is transforming lives in developing and emerging countries, all without emissions in daily use.
Main Benefits of the Technology
- ENERGY SAVING: The new generation of save cooling in the UNOCOOL® 165 refrigerator requires up to 30% less energy compared to usual appliances. Depending on the outside temperature, the inside can remain several days below +8 degrees Celsius.
- RELIABLE COOLING: Ideal for regions with unstable or patchy energy supply, the technology can operate fully energy self-sufficiently if combined with a single solar module.
- SOLAR MODULE: So easy, so ingenious… With a solar module, a UNOCOOL® 165 achieves 100% energy self-sufficiency – one standard solar panel covers its energy needs completely.
- NO DEHUMIDIFICATION: Unlike conventional cooling systems, there is no need for dehumidification. Foods and products stay fresh without extra wrappings.
Technology and Innovation
The UNOCOOL® 165 utilizes an absolutely non-toxic and environmentally friendly refrigerating agent. The technology’s design not only preserves food safety but also significantly improves energy efficiency. This cutting-edge appliance has been recognized by the Global LEAP Awards which identifies off-grid appliance technologies that excel in energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness, making it one of the best domestic refrigerators in the category of Solar Direct Drive Refrigerators.
Sustainability and Efficiency
This new generation of save cooling technology assures reliable cooling even when energy supply is erratic. It is ideal in conditions where conventional refrigerators would fail. How cool is that? Not only does this technology reduce energy consumption drastically, but it also plays an instrumental role in saving food, reducing food waste, and helping households cut down on extra spending. Besides, there is a significant reduction in environmental CO2 emissions – up to 10 tons per year per unit when compared to diesel-powered operations.
Off-Grid Energy Solutions
Global Ice Tec’s approach is revolutionary, especially in off-grid and rural areas. By enabling safe storage of food and even perishable medicines, the UNOCOOL® refrigerators contribute to improved food security and better nutrition. In regions where energy is scarce or inconsistent, the solar direct drive approach ensures ease-of-use and energy self-sufficiency without the need for batteries. Moreover, the system empowers households by freeing up time – since there’s no need for daily market trips to purchase fresh food, women and other members can redirect their energy to other meaningful activities. This seamless mix of reliability and innovation brings the art of cooling into a new era.
