Abstract
Logistics management in the blood cold chain is extremely important to the quality of blood products and blood components that will be used to treat patients. The transportation and storage processes must be concerned throughout the blood cold chain. This research objective was to design and develop an innovative prototype system for maintaining the temperature of packaging boxes in the transportation process. The electronic system was developed to control and maintain the temperature inside the box within the specified temperature range under the current situation environment, long enough for transport periods, and without cooling materials. The heat transfer theory was performed and test in experiment process.
The result was an innovative prototype electronic system that controls and maintains the temperature inside the packaging box in the transportation process. The average temperature inside the box can be controlled at 9-11 degrees Celsius under an outside temperature of 25-28 degrees Celsius. The temperature can be maintained and controlled continuously with direct current electricity at 12V with duration testing of 120 hours without cooling materials.
