Abstract
The container (1) is divided interiorly into an upper chamber (3) receiving a reservoir (9) for refrigerant product, typically dry ice, and a lower chamber (4) receiving the load, by a thermal shield (6) from the edges of which extend into the lower chamber (4) a flexible baffle structure (12) guiding the circulation of cold gas between the upper chamber (3) and gas passages along the walls of the lower chamber (4) defined by vertical (10) and horizontal (11) strips. The container is especially useful for the transport of fresh or frozen products.
Claims11
An isothermal container comprising a casing having isothermal walls defining an interior volume divided by a shield of thermally insulating material, into an upper chamber receiving a reservoir of refrigerant product, and a lower chamber for receiving a load, said upper and lower chambers freely communicating with one another via a passage provided all around the shield, said container further comprising a flexible impervious baffle structure depending from the periphery of the shield and extending downwardly into the lower chamber.
Isothermal container comprising a casing having isothermal walls defining an interior volume divided by a shield of thermally insulating material, into an upper chamber receiving a reservoir of refrigerant product, and a lower chamber for receiving a load, said upper and lower chambers communicating with one another via a passage provided all around the shield, said container further comprising a flexible baffle structure extending downwardly into the lower chamber from peripheral regions of the shield, said baffle structure being formed by a plurality of vertical bands of plastic material.
