Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packaging and in particular to packaging for thermally sensitive material.
  • Thermally sensitive material for example perishable foodstuffs and electronic components or devices, such as charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras, exhibit a sensitivity to temperature in a manner that could cause irreparable damage to the material should its temperature fall outside a safe temperature range, which may typically be for example 0°C to +45°C for a CCD camera.
  • a safe temperature range which may typically be for example 0°C to +45°C for a CCD camera.
  • Transport air cargo and storage in cargo bays that are exposed to strong sunlight may respectively result in the thermally sensitive material being subjected to ambient external temperatures ranging from extremes of -40°C to +60°C.
  • packaging has been developed protect the thermally sensitive material from similar temperature extremes.
  • Known packaging such as for example is described in US 5,435,142, generally includes a container of insulating material configured to provide a inner space.
  • a temperature moderator comprising a freezable substance is placed around the walls of the inner space and frozen to form a cooled chamber in which the thermally sensitive material is held during transport and storage.
  • US 5,435,142 describes a temperature moderator using two types of substance, one frozen to -20°C and the other chilled to +4°C. These substances co-operatively transfer heat to the thermally sensitive material in a manner that enables the temperature of the latter to be maintained between +2°C and +10°C for several hours, even if the temperature of the space outside the container reaches extreme high or low values (for example -20°C or +38°C).
  • thermal protection requires "priming" by freezing of at least one component of the temperature moderator to a temperature below the minimum temperature of the safe range. This means that the protection starts from the moment the frozen substance is exposed to external temperatures higher than its initial temperature, irrespective of whether or not the external temperature is within the limits of the safe temperature range for the thermally sensitive material.
  • This has the disadvantage that the protection offered will have a limited life-time, determined by the rate at which the substance melts, which is used up even if the outside temperature is within the safe temperature range of the temperature sensitive material.
  • a further disadvantage is that in order to maximise this protective life-time freezing facilities will usually have to be provided in physical proximity to the packaging area, even if the ambient temperature is within the material's safe temperature range.
  • the packaging of the present invention as described in and characterised by claim 1.
  • the temperature of the temperature moderator initially lies within the safe temperature range and the material undergoes a change of phase due to the temperature of the variable temperature space, for example ambient air in cargo holds or storage facilities, falling below the minimum temperature or exceeding the maximum temperature of a safe temperature range.
  • the temperature moderator maintains a substantially constant temperature and thereby moderates the temperature that the thermally sensitive material will be exposed to.
  • the thermal protection thus provided by the moderator of the present invention is not activated until external temperatures require it, that is to say, until external temperatures fall outside the safe temperature range of the thermally sensitive material.
  • the temperature moderator may comprise two chemically distinct materials, a first material selected to undergo a suitable phase change at the minimum temperature, for example liquid to solid, and a second material at the maximum temperature, for example solid to liquid.
  • phase change materials such as water; elaidic acid (C 18 H 34 O 2 ); paraffins, "paraffin-like" substances such as n-Tetradecane, n-Hexadecane, n-Octadecane, n-Nonadecane; waxes; olefins or other known materials compatible with the function and purpose of the present invention, as disclosed herein, may be employed.
  • phase change temperatures of the above materials may be readily adapted to suit the intended use, for example salt-water may be usefully employed as the first material where the minimum allowable temperature is lower than 0°C.
  • Such materials also have the advantage that they are "safe" in so far as they are basically non-toxic and present no corrosion or explosion risk under normally expected conditions of usage.
  • the packaging also comprises thermally insulating container fabricated from, for example, expanded polystyrene foam and formed to provide an inner space for receiving the thermally sensitive material.
  • the container is preferably arranged so that at least part of its thickness will be disposed between the variable temperature space and the temperature moderator. This provides further thermal protection for the thermally sensitive material, a delayed activation of the temperature moderator and may also provide a degree of physical protection.
  • the container may also include one or more layers adapted to limit thermal conduction between the variable temperature space and the inner space by the reflection of incident thermal energy.
  • packaging 1 comprising a container fabricated from a thermally insulating material 2, such as expanded polystyrene, and arranged with a body section 3 and a lid section 4.
  • the body section 3 and lid section 4 when placed together define an inner space 5 in to which may be placed a temperature sensitive material that is to be protected (not shown).
  • the material having a safe temperature range delimited by a maximum temperature and a minimum temperature, within which no thermal damage will be caused.
  • Opposing faces of the body 3 and the lid 4 are formed with structured mating surfaces 6,7 which co-operate to provide a long leakage path seal that, in use, results in a good thermal insulation between the inner space 5 and temperatures external the container 3,4.
  • a thin compressible layer 8, such as may be formed using a sponge foam material, may be overlaid on one or both mating surfaces 6,7 in order to form a compressible seal which will limit any thermal leakage that may be caused by convention.
  • Both the body section 3 and the lid section 4 have a temperature moderator 9 disposed within their thicknesses.
  • the moderator 9 comprises a liquid 10 and solid 11 mixture of two chemically unreactive materials. These materials 10,11 which act as a first and a second phase change material respectively, are selected to protect the temperature sensitive material against effects of the temperature outside the container 3,4 falling below the minimum temperature and rising above the maximum temperature in a manner that will be more fully discussed below.
  • a holder 12 is provided to contain the moderator 9 and may be formed from a suitable plastic material.
  • Packaging 13 is provided which again is fabricated from a thermally insulating material 2, such as expanded polystyrene, but arranged with two, approximately equal, sections 14, 15 which when placed together define an inner space 5 in to which may be placed temperature sensitive material (not shown) mentioned in respect of Figure 1.
  • a thermally insulating material 2 such as expanded polystyrene
  • Opposing faces of the body sections 14,15 are formed with "step-like" structured mating surfaces 16,17 which again co-operate in use to provide a long leakage path seal.
  • a temperature moderator 18 is provided and comprises a liquid 19 and solid 20 mixture of two chemically unreactive materials, which may or may not be the materials 10,11 of Figure 1, to act as a first and a second phase change material selected to change phase at the minimum and at the maximum temperatures respectively.
  • the liquid 19 and the solid 20 are loosely sealed separately within pouches 21 which themselves are removably locatable within the inner space 5 to surround the temperature sensitive material.
  • one or mare layers 22a-c of thermally reflective material such as the metal foil or metallised plastic foil, may be placed around and or within the container 14,15 to further improve the thermal insulation capacity of the packaging.
  • Such layers, 22a and 22b can act to reflect thermal radiation back to the variable temperature space.
  • the layers 22c can also act to inhibit the conduction of thermal energy from the inner space 5, particularly when placed against the inner walls of the container 14,15 that define the inner space 5. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that a similar construction may also be used with the container 3,4 of Figure 1 in order to achieve the same advantages.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further removable arrangement of a temperature moderator according to the present invention.
  • Two sheets 23,24 of "bubble pack” are provided, each sheet 23,24 having “bubbles” or pockets 25,26, formed in a manner known in the art, on one face 27,28 of the respective sheets 23,24 and are joined at the opposite faces 29,30 thereof.
  • All bubbles 25 on one sheet 23 contain a liquid 31 selected to change phase to a solid at the minimum temperature and all bubbles 26 on the other sheet 24 contain a solid 32 selected to change phase to a liquid at the maximum temperature.
  • the temperature moderator 33 formed from the combined sheets 23,24 of bubble pack can then, in use, be packed or wrapped around the temperature sensitive material (not shown) and may even be used independently of any container 14,15 if expected conditions of transport and storage allow it or in addition to the fixedly located moderator 9 exemplified in the embodiment of Figure 1.
  • a suitable safe temperature range will lie between 0°C and +45°C so that at typical ambient temperatures of around +20°C no thermal moderation will be required of the temperature moderator 9,18,33.
  • temperature moderator 9,18,33 will follow the sensed variations in the temperature of the variable temperature space with a time constant proportional to its thermal mass for as long as the temperature of the moderator 9,18,33 lies within the safe temperature range. These variations will be transmitted to the thermally sensitive material, which will tend to be in thermal equilibrium with the moderator 9,18,33 because of the relatively good heat exchange arrangement between the two elements. In this temperature range no thermal protection is required and the moderator 9,18,33 remains "inactive".
  • the moderator 9,18,33 becomes “active", in a manner dependent on the transmitted temperature, to moderate the temperature that the thermally sensitive component is exposed to. This keeps the electronic device within the safe temperature range for a period of time.
  • the transmitted temperature falls below the minimum temperature
  • the liquid 10,19,31 component of the moderator becomes “active” and undergoes a phase change to a solid.
  • T P (0°C) to keep the device within the safe temperature range, that is to say substantially at 0°C.
  • T P phase change temperature
  • the temperature moderator 9,18,33 of the present invention will be able to undergo very many temperature cycles of the variable temperature space between temperatures within the safe temperature range and those outside the range and still be able to provide protection for the sensitive component. Moreover, the moderator 9,18,33 will be able to provide protection for the device even if the device has stood for an indefinite period in ambient temperatures within the safe temperature range.
  • the maximum single period of protection that may be provided by the moderator 9,18,33 depends on the temperature of the variable temperature space and the amount of moderator 9,18,33 available for phase change. This period may be readily calculated using standard thermodynamic considerations.
  • the overall weight of the moderator 9,18,33 sufficient to ensure adequate thermal protection for a single period of 24 hours when the ambient external temperature is at -40°C or at +60°C will therefore be 4.2 kg.
  • phase change materials may be chosen as the phase change materials provided that they have suitable physical properties such as a sufficiently high latent heat and phase change temperatures within the safe temperature range of the material to be protected.
  • n-Octadecane having a phase change from solid to liquid at a temperature, T P of +28.2°C and a latent heat of 241.2 kJ kg -1 may replace the elaidic acid as the solid component 11,20,32 of the moderator 9,18,33.
  • embodiments of the present invention may also be used to provide thermal protection for temperature sensitive materials having a safe temperature range that lies completely outside the normal room temperature of around +20°C.
