The present invention relates to a method, as well as a system, for filling a container with an amount of liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) which is partially converted into an amount of solid CO2 into said container, for the purpose of maintaining one or more products, loaded into said container, at a defined temperature, below a defined temperature, or within a defined temperature range, which temperature or temperature range is below environmental temperature. The invention further relates to a method and a system for providing identification and traceability data determining the container and its loaded one or more products, and for enabling the identification of said container during transport to a particular destination.
A method for filling a compartment in an inner part of a container with an amount of liquid CO2 which is partially converted into an amount of solid CO2 upon injection of the liquid CO2 into said compartment, said container being designed to contain one or more products loaded into it, wherein said products are to be maintained at a defined temperature, below a defined temperature, or within a defined temperature range, which temperature or temperature range is below environmental temperature, using said solid CO2, wherein said container is subjected to a weighing operation using weighing means resulting into a weight of said container, wherein said weight of said container, is determined by said weighing means at least before and after said container has been supplied with said amount of converted solid CO2.
A system for filling a compartment in an inner part of a container with an amount of liquid CO2, which is partially converted into an amount of solid CO2 upon injection of the liquid CO2 into said compartment, said container being designed to contain one or more products loaded into it, wherein said products are to be maintained at a defined temperature, below a defined temperature, or within a defined temperature range, which temperature or temperature range is below environmental temperature, using said solid CO2, characterized in that said system comprises weighing means for subjecting said container to a weighing operation resulting into a weight of said container at least before and after said inner part of said container has been supplied with said amount of converted solid CO2.
