Abstract
A temperature control structure for a transport container includes: a temperature control compartment provided in a truck; a transport container that is loaded into the temperature control compartment, and has a box shape capable of accommodating an object, in which at least a part of a wall constituting the box shape is a heat conduction portion made of metal; and a heat exchanger of a solid-state heat transfer type that is disposed in contact with the heat conduction portion and controls a temperature of the object via the heat conduction portion.
Claims19
A temperature control structure for a transport container, the temperature control structure comprising:
- a temperature control compartment provided in a transport machine;
- a transport container that is loaded into the temperature control compartment, and has a box shape capable of accommodating an object, in which at least a part of a wall constituting the box shape is a heat conduction portion made of metal;
- and
- a heat exchanger of a solid-state heat transfer type that is disposed in contact with the heat conduction portion and controls a temperature of the object via the heat conduction portion.
A temperature control method for a transport container, the temperature control method comprising:
- preparing a temperature control compartment provided in a transport machine, a transport container that is loaded into the temperature control compartment, and has a box shape capable of accommodating an object, in which at least a part of a wall constituting the box shape is a heat conduction portion made of metal, and a heat exchanger that controls a temperature of the object;
- and
- bringing the heat exchanger and the heat conduction portion into contact with each other, and controlling the temperature of the object by the heat exchanger in a solid-state heat transfer manner via the heat conduction portion.
