The Milk to Market Initiative and the SMU Hunt Institute teamed up to serve rural Rwandan dairy farmers needing an overnight milk preservation solution. We developed a low-cost refrigeration system that operates independently of an electric grid.
Our final design cools 1.5L of milk from 101F to 45F in 4 hrs, meeting Rwandan Grade II standards, and keeps milk under 45F up to 12 hrs.
