Definitions

  • the invention relates to a thermally insulated container according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • thermally insulated containers are used, in particular, but by no means exclusively, for transport purposes in order to be able to transport temperature-sensitive goods, for example medicines, while adhering to narrow temperature tolerances.
  • a container wall is provided in generic containers, which completely encloses an interior in which the goods to be transported are arranged. At least one closable opening is provided in the container wall so that the goods to be transported can be introduced into the container.
  • vacuum insulation elements are used for insulation. These vacuum insulation elements have a very high thermal resistance with a relatively small layer thickness, so that for a given external volume there is a relatively large usable volume with sufficient thermal insulation. Due to the vacuum insulation The heat flow is made more difficult both from the outside in and from the inside out, so that the goods to be transported are protected both against excessive heat and against excessive cold.
  • Thermally insulated containers are known from the prior art, in which active cooling systems are used for additional cooling. For example, it is known that the interior of the container is tempered by means of an electrical air conditioning system. Systems are also known in which dry ice is evaporated and the resulting cold steam is used to cool the interior. The disadvantage of these actively cooled containers is that they are extremely sensitive to interference. If, for example, the electrical air conditioning system or the fan of the dry ice system is not supplied with sufficient electrical energy, adequate cooling is no longer guaranteed and the transported goods spoil.
  • the invention is based on the basic idea of arranging passive melt storage elements in the container which are filled with a suitable melt storage material.
  • Such melt storage elements have the property that they pass a certain amount of heat
  • melt storage material in the melt storage element melts when heated until the entire supply of melt storage material is in the liquid phase has passed.
  • the thermal energy required for phase transformation of the melt storage material is thus stored in the melt storage material and does not lead to an increase in temperature. If the melt storage material is cooled in reverse, the melt storage material gradually solidifies and releases the stored amount of heat during this phase change. As a result, the melt storage elements buffer the heat flow according to their respective capacity until the capacity limits are reached.
  • melt storage material contains paraffin, for example, heat flow buffering in the temperature range above 0 ° C is made possible. If, on the other hand, a salt solution is contained in the melt storage material, the heat flow in the temperature range below 0 ° C can be buffered.
  • each melt storage material has an optimal buffering range depending on its respective melting point, it is particularly advantageous for certain applications if at least two different melt storage elements are provided in the container, each of which is filled with different melt storage materials. This combination of different melt storage materials in one container allows the buffering area to be spread out. It is particularly advantageous if the melt storage elements filled with different melt storage materials are arranged in several layers in the container.
  • temperature measurement devices are provided on the melt storage elements with which the temperature of the melt storage element can be measured.
  • Temperature sensors with displays are used which change color depending on the temperature.
  • the construction of the vacuum insulation elements is fundamentally arbitrary.
  • a base body is used for this purpose, which is enclosed in a gas-tight manner with a film.
  • the interior space formed by the film is evacuated in order to be able to achieve the desired insulation properties.
  • the base body itself gives the vacuum insulation element the required mechanical stability, and open-pore materials should be used to produce the base body in order to ensure sufficient evacuation.
  • foil-coated vacuum insulation elements they should preferably not have any protruding edge flaps made of foil, so that the butt joint between adjacent vacuum insulation elements can be made as narrow as possible.
  • the insulation effect of the vacuum insulation elements largely depends on the sufficiently low internal gas pressure in the vacuum insulation element. The further the internal gas pressure in the vacuum insulation element increases, the more heat is conducted through the vacuum insulation element.
  • the vacuum insulation elements should have a control system for checking the internal gas pressure.
  • metal platelets for example, can be arranged below the enveloping film, the internal gas pressure then using suitable diagnostic devices in the
  • Area of the metal plate can be derived by applying a jump in temperature.
  • the tank wall should have inspection openings the control system for controlling the internal gas pressure is accessible.
  • the functionality of the built-in vacuum insulation elements can be checked again at any time, in particular before loading, in order to avoid damage to the goods to be transported due to insufficient insulation, as can be caused, for example, by micro-leaks in the vacuum insulation elements.
  • covers can be provided at the inspection openings, which are preferably transparent so that the control system behind the cover can be viewed from the outside.
  • the vacuum insulation elements can also be arranged in several layers one above the other or one behind the other.
  • the resulting heat flow resistance essentially results from the addition of the heat flow resistance of the individual layers.
  • the container can be designed in the manner of a transport container. If this transport container is also airworthy, temperature-sensitive goods, such as medicines such as vaccines in particular, can be transported over very long distances and long transport times within specified temperature tolerances.
  • the container can also be designed in the manner of a transport box with a removable lid.
  • transport boxes are particularly advantageous when the container is not to be transported back but the container is disposed of after it has reached its destination.
  • Foamed plastics are particularly suitable for producing the container wall of the transport box, since this material itself has a high heat flow resistance and is also available at very low cost.
