Transport pods

A thermally-insulated transport pod for storage and transport of temperature-sensitive products, the transport pod comprising:

• a product storage space configured to contain temperature-sensitive products;
• a thermal energy device space configured to hold at least one thermal energy storage device for absorbing or emitting thermal energy to control a temperature of the product storage space, wherein the thermal energy device space is fluidly coupled to the product storage space to enable a convective air flow between the thermal energy device space and the product storage space when in use;
• a convection cell flow guide configured to direct the convective air flow to recirculate in a convection cell spanning between the thermal energy device space and the product storage space;
• and
• a flow concentrator configured to concentrate convective air flow from the thermal energy device space towards a central vertical axis of the product storage space to form a jet, wherein the flow concentrator is between the thermal energy device space and the product storage space and comprises a central opening.
