FAQ

Vakava's solution will hold its contents in chilled temperature (+2-8C) or frozen (below -18C) for 14-60 hours, depending on the Cool Unit. The Track & Trace application is used to monitor and verify the temperature of the content at all times during transportation.

Vakava's solution consists of the Cool Unit, cooling elements and Track & Trace application.

The cooling elements in Vakava’s solution consist of PCM “Phase Change Material”, which is a substance designed to hold and release large amounts of energy in the process of turning from solid material into liquid. In Vakava’s solution, the cooling elements are designed to perfectly fit the Cool Units and to release a correct amount of energy to ensure the cooling effect at all times.

Vakava’s Cool Units come in four different sizes, the sizes vary from a 17 L carry-on unit to 443 L pallet size unit.

The uptime of the Cool Units varies between 14h and 60h. The verified uptime has been tested by opening the Cool Unit every 30 min, which would be equivalent to how often a vehicle needs to stop, for example, for grocery home deliveries. If the Cool Unit is not opened at all during use, the uptime is longer.

Vakava’s solution does not require any external power while in use / transit. However, the cooling elements require pre-cooling before use and at that time power is needed.

The Cool Unit can be used for transporting and storing (chilled and frozen) foodstuff or medical products. It can also be used as a storage for chilled or frozen products where electricity is not available.

Vakava’s Cool Units can be transported in any type of vehicle from a passenger car to an airplane. The Cool Units do not require any special vehicle or even an external power source during transportation. Vakava’s solution enables you to combine both chilled and frozen products in a delivery with optimizing the space for each.

Vakava’s Cool Unit includes various layers of insulation and has a specially designed air circulation. It also has an aluminum surface on the inside, which makes it easy to keep clean. The Cool Unit is not made of styrofoam like regular coolers, it is made of EPP material, which is more durable.

Vakava’s solution does not require an external power source while in transit (or storage use). That is why the transport vehicle does not need to be running while stopped for delivery or loading, which will lead to lower emissions. Also, it enables you to transport frozen, chilled and ambient goods in one delivery.

Vakava’s solution does not require anything special from a vehicle, it can be transported in a vehicle from a regular passenger car to an airplane.
