Abstract
There is provided cooling goods during transportation. At least one transport container comprises at least one a storage container for storing goods, at least one dry ice container and at least one a fluid line capable of conducting sublimed dry ice discharged from the dry ice containers to the at least one storage container. The dry ice containers are replaceable battery packs. At least one expansion tank is connected to the container of liquidized CO2 for receiving discharged liquidized CO2 to the expansion tank. The expansion tank and the at least one fluid line are connected by a quick-release coupling.
Claims12
A system for cooling goods, comprising:
- at least one transport container comprising:
- at least one a storage container for storing goods, one or more dry ice containers and at least one fluid line capable of conducting sublimed dry ice discharged from the dry ice containers to the at least one storage container, wherein the dry ice containers are replaceable battery packs;
- and the system comprises:
- means for connecting to at least one container of liquidized CO2 for receiving discharged liquidized CO2 from the at least one container of liquidized CO2;
- at least one expansion tank connected, by the means for connecting, to the container of liquidized CO2 for receiving the discharged liquidized CO2 to the expansion tank, wherein the expansion tank and the at least one fluid line are connected, after removal of any of the replaceable battery packs from its position, by a quick-release coupling at the position of the removed replaceable battery pack, instead of the removed replaceable battery pack.
A vehicle comprising cargo holding means for transporting goods and a system for cooling the goods within the cargo holding means, said system comprising:
- at least one transport container, comprising:
- at least one storage container for storing goods;
- one or more dry ice containers and at least one fluid line capable of conducting sublimed dry ice discharged from the dry ice containers to the at least one storage container, wherein the dry ice containers are replaceable battery packs;
- and the system comprises:
- means for connecting to at least one container of liquidized CO2 for receiving discharged liquidized CO2 from the at least one container of liquidized CO2;
- at least one expansion tank connected, by the means for connecting, to the container of liquidized CO2 for receiving the discharged liquidized CO2 to the expansion tank, wherein the expansion tank and the at least one fluid line are connected, after removal of any of the replaceable battery packs from its position, by a quick-release coupling at the position of the removed replaceable battery pack, instead of the removed replaceable battery pack.
