Abstract
Disclosed is a cold storage container able to keep its contents cool for long periods without using electricity by using the phenomenon of adsorption. An adsorbent material placed in a conductive material above an insulated vacuum chamber adsorbs water vapor from the melting ice surrounding or above a cold chamber where contents are kept cold. This generates continuous evaporation which cools the water and therefore the contents of the cold chamber.
Claims13
A cold storage box comprising:
- a container for containing contents to be kept cool;
- an evaporator chamber having thermally insulated walls surrounding the container and defining a space between the container and the chamber;
- and
- an adsorber unit located above the evaporator chamber, the adsorber unit including adsorbent material, a mesh retaining the adsorbent material while permitting the adsorbent material to be exposed to vapor from the evaporator chamber, and a thermally conductive surface on a top or surrounding sides of the desorber unit.
