Re purposing environmentally damaging HFC

项目摘要

Over the next few months, UK pharmaceutical companies and institutes will need to develop anti-viral drugs to help overcome symptoms and vaccines to protect against and help combat the devastating effect of the COVID-19 virus.Novel manufacturing techniques such as continuous processing, together with the safe low-temperature storage of vaccines will be required. These processes require temperatures between -50 and -80°C to operate correctly.Currently, mechanical compressor-based low-temperature refrigeration systems use high cost \[£690/kg\] environmentally damaging HFC refrigerant gases. These gases under the UK-EU and UN climate change policies are legislated to be phased out over the next 10 years.Likido currently manufactures low carbon, high-temperature industrial heat pumps that use a non-toxic, non-?ammable, environmentally inert, CFC/HFC free "natural working ?uid". Using Likido's experience in natural refrigerant technology and its unique two-stage compressors design, Likido over the next 3 months plan to fast track the manufacturing of a new range Cryochillers which will use HFC free "natural refrigerant gases that can operate down to -70°C and have global warming potential \[GWP\] of less than 50\.This new innovation will ensure safe production and storage of medicines and vaccines at low temperatures and keep the UK's government commitment to climate change legislation.

在接下来的几个月里，英国制药公司和研究机构将需要开发抗病毒药物，以帮助克服症状和疫苗，以保护和帮助对抗COVID-19病毒的破坏性影响。将需要新的生产技术，如连续加工，以及疫苗的安全低温储存。这些过程需要在-50 ° C和-80 ° C之间的温度才能正常运行。目前，基于机械压缩机的低温制冷系统使用高成本[£690/kg]的对环境有害的HFC制冷剂气体。根据英国-欧盟和联合国气候变化政策，这些气体将在未来10年内逐步淘汰。Likido目前生产低碳、高温工业热泵，这些热泵使用无毒、无？易燃、不环保、不含CFC/HFC的“自然工作？uid”。利用利气道在自然制冷剂技术方面的经验和独特的两级压缩机设计，Likido计划在未来3个月内加快生产一系列新的冷冻机，该冷冻机将使用不含HFC的“天然制冷剂气体，可在-70 ° C下运行，全球变暖潜势[GWP]小于50”。这项新的创新将确保在低温下安全生产和储存药物和疫苗，并保持英国政府对气候变化立法的承诺。
