Ice Lined Refrigerator Manufacturer in India

Ice Lined Refrigerator for Vaccine Storage

Quick answer: An Ice Lined Refrigerator (ILR) is a cold-chain refrigerator designed to maintain vaccines between +2°C and +8°C. Ice lining provides thermal reserve during power interruptions, while baskets keep vaccine packages away from the cold lining.

Bionics Scientific is an ice lined refrigerator manufacturer in India, offering four ILR models with gross capacities of 64, 136, 218 and 235 litres. Available configurations include a microprocessor controller, PT100 sensor, high/low temperature alarm, PUF insulation, lockable lid, built-in voltage protection and optional temperature recording.

Application note: This page is intended for vaccine and approved pharmaceutical cold-chain storage. Blood components can have different regulatory storage requirements; select a purpose-built blood bank refrigerator or blood plasma freezer for those applications.

How to Use Ice Lined Refrigerator

Always follow the supplied operating manual, applicable vaccine instructions and facility cold-chain SOP. For general equipment context, see the official WHO guidance on vaccine refrigerators and freezers.

1. Unpacking and Installation Ice Lined Refrigerator

• Unpack the ILR and check for physical damage.
• Place it on a level surface in a well-ventilated room.
• Leave at least 10 cm space around the unit for airflow.
• Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

2. Initial Power-On Ice Lined Refrigerator

• Connect to a dedicated power outlet with a voltage stabilizer.
• Allow the unit to pre-cool for at least 24 hours before loading items.
• Ensure the temperature stabilizes between +2°C to +8°C.

3. Loading Vaccine Baskets

Always use vaccine baskets to keep items above the ice lining. Avoid placing materials directly on the ice packs.

• Label all items clearly.
• Maintain a vaccine logbook with date/time and temperature records.
• Do not overload the unit to allow free air circulation.

4. Temperature Monitoring

Use a calibrated monitoring device or data logger and record temperatures at the frequency required by the facility SOP.

• Record min/max temperature values.
• Investigate any excursions beyond +8°C or below +2°C immediately.

5. During Power Outage

• Keep the lid closed to retain cold air.
• Do not open the unit unless absolutely necessary.
• Follow the model-specific hold-over data and the facility contingency plan; do not assume one duration for every load and ambient condition.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance of Ice Lined Refrigerator

• Unplug the Ice Lined Refrigerator before cleaning.
• Use a soft cloth and mild disinfectant; avoid abrasives.
• Inspect gaskets, seals and alarms at the interval stated in the maintenance plan.
• Defrost only according to the supplied operating instructions.

7. Safety Tips

• Do not store food, drinks, or personal items inside.
• Check power backup systems regularly.
• Keep a backup vaccine carrier ready in case of extended outages.

Ice Lined Refrigerator FAQs

What is an Ice Lined Refrigerator and how does it work?

An Ice Lined Refrigerator is a vaccine cold-chain refrigerator that maintains +2°C to +8°C. Ice lining stores thermal energy and slows temperature rise during power interruptions, while baskets separate vaccine packages from the cold lining.

What temperature should an ILR maintain for vaccine storage?

An ILR used for vaccine storage should maintain the required +2°C to +8°C range. Actual storage must follow the vaccine label, facility cold-chain SOP and applicable public-health guidance.

What is the declared hold-over time of these ILR models?

The current specification table declares 20–24 hours. Hold-over depends on the selected model, ambient temperature, load, starting temperature and lid-opening conditions, so confirm the test conditions in the approved quotation.

Which Ice Lined Refrigerator capacities are available?

Bionics Scientific lists four models with gross capacities of 64, 136, 218 and 235 litres. Their listed net usable volumes are 48, 75, 105 and 216 litres respectively.

How do I select the correct ILR capacity?

Estimate the peak vaccine inventory, basket arrangement and required air clearance, then select by net usable volume rather than gross volume alone. Include expected growth and facility loading procedures in the user requirement specification.

What is the difference between an ILR and a deep freezer?

An ILR is intended for products requiring +2°C to +8°C storage and uses ice lining for thermal reserve. A deep freezer operates below 0°C at a model-specific set point for products that require frozen storage.

Can this ILR be used to store blood bags?

Do not assume a vaccine ILR is suitable for blood bags. Blood components can have different storage and monitoring requirements, so use a purpose-built blood bank refrigerator selected against the applicable regulations and facility SOP.

Which temperature monitoring and alarm options are available?

The listed configuration includes a PT100 sensor, microprocessor controller, display and high/low temperature audio-visual alarm. Optional monitoring includes a data logger, weekly chart recorder, computer interface and alarm battery backup.

Does every model have WHO PQS, CE or ISO certification?

Certification should not be assumed for every configuration. Request the exact certificate, test report and qualification documentation for the quoted model and verify that each document matches the model and intended application.

What information is required for an ILR quotation?

Provide the application, required net capacity, site ambient range, power availability, hold-over requirement, monitoring and alarm options, refrigerant preference, accessories, qualification documents, quantity and delivery location.
