Abstract
The present invention discloses a thermostable system 100 for storage and transportation of hot goods, especially of food items. The said system combines an insulation container 102 made of biodegradable polyurethane with a novel phase change material to provide improved holding time and temperature ranges. With the thermostable system set-forth by the present invention, 10-14 hours of holding time in the range of 45-70° C. was achieved.
Claims8
A thermostable system comprising:
- an insulation container for storage or shipment of hot goods, wherein the insulation material used for preparation of the insulation container is Polyurethane Foam (PUF);
- one or more crafted polypropylene pouches containing a Phase Change Material to maintain hot temperature inside the insulation container, wherein the phase change material is a mixture of glutaric acid and catechol;
- and
- a heating assembly mechanically configured with the insulation container to provide uniform heating of the goods contained inside the insulation container.
A method for preparing a phase-change-material pouch comprising the steps of:
- melting one part of Catechol in four parts of Glutaric Acid in a beaker at 110° C.;
- mixing thoroughly;
- cooling the mixture to let it crystallize;
- melting the crystallized mixture at 80° C.;
- and
- heat-sealing the melted crystallized mixture in Crafted Polypropylene Pouches (CPP).
