The mobile fish sellers in Sri Lanka used bicycles, motor bicycles and three wheelers to distribute fish. Refrigerated three-wheeler truck was developed targeting mobile food sellers. A prototype was fabricated which consists of an Electrolux vapour absorption system fitted to a specially designed cool box to suit commonly used three-wheelers. The waste heat in exhaust gas of vehicle is used as the power source. The heat available is sufficient to cater for around 140W unit.
