Coolar

Coolar, founded by Julia Römer in 2014, is an innovative start-up that specializes in the development of environmentally friendly and advanced cooling systems. The company focuses particularly on the manufacture of medical refrigerators that operate independently of the power supply and are powered by solar thermal energy.

Coolar develops and produces electricity-independent medical refrigerators, which are particularly used in regions without stable power supply, such as in Asia and Africa. These refrigerators utilize the adsorption cooling cycle, which is powered by solar heat. The process includes evaporation, adsorption, drying, and condensation to ensure efficient and long-lasting cooling[2][4].

The mission of Coolar is to provide healthcare workers with the ability to safely store life-saving medications and vaccines, regardless of the availability of electricity. The company is committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly technology that reduces CO2 emissions by ten times compared to conventional refrigerators. Coolar stands for innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility[2][5].

Coolar strives to design its technology to be not only efficient but also environmentally friendly. The refrigerators are free from short-lived batteries and electronic or mechanical components that can be easily damaged. By using solar heat, there are no ongoing costs, and no hazardous materials are used, making disposal uncomplicated. These approaches help minimize environmental impact while improving access to cooling technology in remote areas[2][4].

The team at Coolar consists of experienced and dedicated experts. Julia Römer, the founder and Chief Technology Developer, brings extensive experience in the development of cooling systems. Christoph Göller, responsible for business development, previously worked at Robert Bosch and has in-depth knowledge in marketing and sales strategy. Roland Kühn, a researcher at the Institute of Energy Technology at TU Berlin, supports the company with his expertise in refrigeration technology[1].

Coolar is a shining example of how innovation and sustainability can come together to tackle global challenges while achieving positive social and ecological impacts.
