Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for preconditioning at least one latent heat storage element.
  • a phase transition occurs on a suitable material, e.g. the transition from the solid to the liquid phase (or vice versa)
  • the relationship between the temperature of the storage material and the heat taken up (or given off) by the storage material is no longer linear.
  • the heat storage material begins to melt on reaching the temperature of the phase transition. This temperature keeps the storage material with the supply of heat until the storage material is completely melted. Only then does an increase of the temperature occur with further absorption of heat.
  • the latent heat is equal to the melting or crystallization heat of the storage material.
  • a latent heat storage material has the great advantage that it can store relatively large amounts of heat with him in a small temperature interval. Since the phase transition occurs at a substantially constant temperature over a certain period of time, it is possible to compensate for temperature fluctuations and to avoid temperature peaks.
  • Latent heat storage materials are known in various forms. These materials are also termed PCM materials (phase change material) from English terminology. If one lies at a target temperature (temperature of the phase transition) of about 0 ° C, so you can use water with different additives as latent heat storage material. For cold storage below 0 ° C suitably prepared salt solutions are used.
  • a latent heat storage element according to the present invention is a latent heat storage material in a closed, possibly also provided with a pressure equalization valve enclosure. This is also referred to as a macroencapsulated PCM material.

  • Latent heat storage elements of the type in question are now available for a wealth of target temperatures, in particular by the applicant (Prospectus "va-Q-tec Packaging Portfolio, January 2011”). There you will find latent heat storage elements for target temperatures of 37 ° C, 22 ° C, 4 ° C, 0 ° C, -19 ° C, -21 ° C and -32 ° C. Other suppliers have comparable latent heat storage elements in the sales program, in part also for other target temperatures.
  • Latent heat storage elements of the type in question are used in a particular field of application in thermally insulated containers, especially for transport purposes.
  • this applies to the transport of temperature-sensitive goods such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnological products, transplant goods or stored blood.
  • the optimum transport and storage temperature to be observed is 2 ° C to 8 ° C.
  • the products are only stable in a narrow temperature range. These products must therefore be transported and stored in this temperature range. Often, such
  • the transport temperature of very sensitive products should never be frozen. Temperatures below 0 ° C must then be safely avoided. It is therefore about a safe achievement and compliance with the target temperature with a relatively small deviation.
  • target temperature we refer to below the temperature which is maintained by the latent heat storage element during the phase transition with little deviation and resulting from the latent heat storage material of the latent heat storage element used.
  • the present case concerns the preconditioning of at least one latent heat storage element in a heat-insulated, closed container having a receiving space for goods to be transported, in which the latent storage element has a target temperature of preferably slightly above 0 ° C.
  • a relevant prior art (WO 2004/104498 A2) relates to a thermally insulated container, in particular for transport purposes, wherein the container is insulated against heat exchange with the ambient atmosphere by vacuum insulation panels and inside at least one latent heat storage element of the type in question.

  • vacuum insulation panels have been known in principle for a long time, but is continuously perfected in terms of manufacturing technology and material technology. In principle, reference may be made to DE 100 58 566 C2 for vacuum insulation panels, which goes back to the assignee of the present application. Such vacuum insulation panels are currently the most powerful thermal insulation elements.
  • the latent heat storage element In order for the latent heat storage element to be able to have its effect when used in the transport container, it must first be cooled to a temperature below the target temperature.
  • a latent heat storage material that is between 3 ° C and 5 ° C melts, if possible to cool to a temperature close to this value. Best done (at a positive target temperature) preconditioning to the lower limit of the tolerance range of the target temperature, for example, here to about 3 ° C, so that during use in the heat-insulated transport container still lurch a large amount of heat can be absorbed. This is tantamount to the fact that over a relatively long period of time, the target temperature in the transport container can be maintained relatively accurately.
  • the latent heat storage element is energetically loaded, ie frozen before the storage of a sample container in the receiving space. This happens here in that a coolant whose temperature is below the freezing temperature of the latent heat storage element is filled into the receiving space of the container. It is left there until the latent heat storage element is completely frozen and solidified. This requires a visual inspection. So you have to open from time to time the receiving space of the container, look inside and determine whether the latent heat storage element now makes a completely frozen and solidified impression.

  • the singular is used for the latent heat storage element.
  • the reference to "at least one latent heat storage element” makes it clear that the present method is also applicable if several latent heat storage elements are preconditioned at the same time.
  • the method according to the invention specifically relates to the preconditioning of a latent heat storage element having a specific target temperature.
  • a particularly interesting area is latent heat storage elements with a target temperature of somewhat more than 0 ° C.
