Buzzyeah: Hunting for a Blood Bank Refrigerator

  • Sam Nam · 1 year ago
    I'm not too sure about this, but it seems a modified refrigerator might work. Refrigeration works by condensing a gas such as ammonia and then releasing it to lose pressure and drop quickly in temperature. I wonder if you could save a larger amount of compressed gas (like in a gas compresser) and release it slowly during electricity shortages. Again, I'm not an expert on refrigeration, so this might be an impossible idea.

    Sam, I'm no scientist by any means... so that sounds good to me.

    I'm sure someone has created exactly what I'm talking about I just can't find it.

    A commenter on one of my previous blood bank posts mentioned that "...artificial blood for emergency use is under development that requires little or no refrigeration."

    This will be a unique opportunity to meet some major players in the field in a significantly smaller setting. We’ll challenge ourselves to think much deeper about a variety of information problems during the day, and then enjoy the sights and delicacies of Chicago at night.I know that budgets are tight, but this conference won’t break the bank: $550 for non-members of IAI, and $450 for www.chase.com members (and it only costs $40 to join!).I’d love to see you there, so please consider registering. Don’t wait until the last minute to book flights and hotels as prices just go up. Take a moment to do it today.
