- each spacing (100) has a limited thickness (e), between 2 and 12 cm.
- Each spacing (100) can receive for example a unit of cooling (3) of dimensions substantially equal to the dimensions of spacing (100).
- the number of cooling units (3) to be inserted in the spacings can depend on the envisaged duration of transport.
- the cooling units (3) must make it possible to maintain the housing (20) at a temperature above 0 ° C, for example included between 3 and 8 ° C during a transport period which can be particularly long.

- pins, pins or nipples can be placed on the cold accumulator (32) to be inserted into cavities of the barrier cold regulation (31).
- Figures 4a and 4b show a barrier container for regulating flattened cold (31) provided with two pins (310) arranged on either side of the center of a first face or front of the container (31).
- the distance (a) between the two nipples (310) is for example of the order of 4 to 10 cm for a container with a height (H) of between 15 and 30 cm. This distance (a) represents about a third of the height (H) of the container (31) in one embodiment of the invention. Alternatively, the number of nipples (310) may be higher.
- At at least two cavities (311) of diameter (b) substantially equal to the diameter of the pins (310) are arranged on the second face or back of the container (31), with the same positioning as that of the pins (310) to allow the assembly between two cold control barrier containers (31) identical.

- the thickness of the case (30) is determined to allow the transmission of cold between the cooling (3) and the inner casing (2).
- the thickness of the case (30) is for example of the order of 0.8 to 3 mm.
- the cold control barrier (31) can consist of a simple pocket plastic (310) containing the viscous substance which absorbs the frigories of the accumulator (32).
- units of cooling (3) occupy substantially parallel planar spaces on the side faces, it can be envisaged in a different embodiment to provide spaces (100) between the inner envelope (2) and a corner of the outer casing (1), as shown in Figure 7.
- the device packaging according to the invention then comprises cooling units (3) arranged at an angle.
- other arrangements and forms, for example with a curved or L-shaped profile, can be considered for the realization of cooling units (3).
- the packaging device allows the implementation of a simple and effective process for packaging heat-sensitive products at a temperature above 0 ° C, for example between 3 and 8 ° C.
- the cold accumulator (32) is previously frozen at a temperature strictly below 0 ° C, and preferably below -15 ° C before being assembled with the barrier cold regulation (31) which remains at an ambient temperature of the order of 3 to 25 ° C.
- the barrier (31) can be distinguished from the cold accumulator (32) by a color marking or other visual signage, so as to avoid any confusion when installing the cooling units (3).
- the user must initially open the flaps (21) to both install the sensitive products (5) in the housing (20), and also install, for example on two opposite sides, cooling (3) previously assembled.
- the user can install one or more other units of cooling (3) on the flaps (21), as illustrated in Figure 3 and finally close the outer casing (1).
- This method can be adapted to different forms of housing (20) and to different sizes for the outer casing (1). It allows to transport in usual conditions several doses or bottles of products heat sensitive.
- a cold control barrier (31) in the cooling units (3) allows to cool very regulated the content of the storage housing (20), as illustrated with Figures 9 and 10.
- the temperature curve of Figure 9 was made from a temperature probe placed in a sensitive product stored in a storage packaging with only frozen ice packs at temperatures of the order of -18 ° C. The start of the measurements corresponds to introduction of cold accumulators. We can see that without barrier when cold, the temperature of the products drops very quickly below 0 ° C. In the example of figure 9, the accumulators were however partially thawed.
- the packaging process can be easily very quickly adapted, the shape of the housing (20) and the quantity of units cooling (3) can be very easily changed. Moreover, the use of cardboard envelopes or other common packaging material thin as well as cold accumulators (32) of conventional type is economically advantageous.
- Another advantage of the invention lies in the fact that with a regulatory barrier, the risk of product degradation is avoided.
- the process overcomes the cumbersome procedures of freeze / thaw the accumulators on a case-by-case basis according to their use.
