Abstract
A temperature control system for a cargo container, including a foldable sleeve having first and second major planes and at least one temperature control pack, the sleeve being attached prior to first use to a major plane of an inside wall of the container operable to retain a temperature control pack within, to maintain a temperature of an atmosphere within the container when closed by virtue of heat transfer with the atmosphere of the container; and to prevent contact with any product.

An aviation cargo container temperature control system for use in a flat-pack aviation cargo container having a base and at least one side wall and a cover, the aviation cargo container temperature control system comprising:
- at least one sleeve foldable between an unfolded and a compressed state and having first and second major planes and at least one temperature control pack, the sleeve being attachable prior to use along one of its major planes to a major plane of an inside wall of the flat-pack aviation cargo container,
- each sleeve being operable in a compressed state to permit the flat-pack aviation cargo container, the sleeve being detachable between uses, the sleeve container to be collapsed and in an unfolded state to retain a temperature control pack within, to maintain a temperature of an atmosphere within the flat-pack aviation cargo container, when closed, by virtue of heat transfer between the temperature control pack and the atmosphere of the flat-pack aviation cargo container;
- and to prevent contact of the temperature control pack with any product being transported in the flat-pack aviation cargo container.
A flat pack aviation cargo container with a temperature control system, the flat pack aviation cargo container having a base and at least one side wall and a cover, operable to carry a product placed upon the base, said temperature control system comprising at least one sleeve foldable between an unfolded and a compressed state, the sleeve having first and second major planes, and the temperature control system comprising at least one temperature control pack, one of the major planes of the sleeve being fixedly attached to a wall portion of the flat pack aviation cargo container, wherein the sleeve is detachable between uses of the flat pack aviation cargo container, wherein the sleeve is further operable in a compressed state to permit the flat pack aviation cargo container to be collapsed and in an unfolded state to retain the temperature control pack, to maintain a temperature of an atmosphere within the container when closed by virtue of heat transfer with the atmosphere of the container;
- and, to prevent contact of the temperature control pack with any product being transported in the flat-pack aviation cargo.
