Definitions

  • This invention relates to a thermally insulated packaging system for transporting temperature sensitive products such as medicines, vaccines, laboratory samples etc.
  • a thermally insulated packaging system for transporting temperature sensitive products such as medicines, vaccines, laboratory samples etc.
  • ice-boxes are not designed to maintain cold temperatures over many hours (or even days) without renewing the refrigerant element placed inside them alongside the temperature-sensitive product being transported, and on the other hand, because their rigidity and large volume consume a great deal of space, especially so when being transported or in storage awaiting their use, all of which amounts to an increase in overall costs.
  • Another widely used method is to use packaging material, which need not necessarily be very impermeable, in order to enclose dry ice, which itself surrounds the temperature sensitive products being transported.
  • dry ice changes from solid to gaseous state without becoming a liquid i.e. it sublimes, it does not wet either the packaging or the product it contains. Nevertheless, the life of dry ice is very limited and, furthermore, its sublimation produces undesirable fumes and for this reason many haulage companies, including the airlines, forbid its use.
  • insulated box packaging that are composed of rigid polyurethane foam.
  • This material is a closed-cell thermoplastic foam with excellent performance in terms of thermal insulation and impermeability as well as having a very low density.
  • the main drawback of such packaging is its rigidity, which makes the structure of the box occupy so much space. This is especially inappropriate when the box is no longer being used, for example, during transportation of the empty box between it manufacturing site and the end user's location as well as during storage, both at its place of manufacture and at it end-user's site until the moment the package is filled and forwarded to its destination.
  • the above objective is attained, according this invention by providing a temperature insulated packaging system for temperature sensitive products that is composed of several elements, each of which can be separated so as to permit a compact and flat shape whilst undergoing transportation or storage, with the component parts capable of being assembled and put into service by the user at any given moment.
  • the reduction in volume mentioned above is brought about by the use, as material for the temperature insulated component of a flexible, open-cell copolymer foam, such isocyanate copolymer foam or polyurethane.
  • this material allows the production of a wrapping comprised of several flat panels, with it being possible for two or more of these panels to be joined together by split, articulated joint lines, so forming at least one flat panel and, by doing so, these panels and/or this flat panel assembly, only occupy a small volume during storage while awaiting use, and they permit user assembly prior to use at any moment
  • the new invention incorporates an internal impermeable layer or fabric and an external impermeable layer or fabric which form continuous walls to both sides of the wrapping material.
  • These layers or fabrics take the form of flexible internal and external bags whose size and shape conform to that of the internal and external dimensions of the filly assembled thermally insulating package.
  • the bags mentioned above can be sealed by using any standard method that would give a sufficiently hermetic seal e.g. thermal sealing, multiple crimping of its opening, folding and clamping of part of the opening, by means of a clamping ring or by means of a dovetail closure of the opening.
  • thermal sealing e.g. thermal sealing, multiple crimping of its opening, folding and clamping of part of the opening, by means of a clamping ring or by means of a dovetail closure of the opening.
  • the bags are made of layers of metallic plastic which, in turn, are comprised of one layer of aluminium laminated to a layer of polythene with the thickness of the external polythene layer being greater than that of the internal bag.
  • the aluminium layer guarantees an excellent hermetic seal against gaseous diffusion while the polythene layer forms a barrier against accidental leakage of the refrigerant or of the product being transported inside, not to mention the possibility of liquids penetrating from outside the package.
  • the polythene/aluminium laminate offers very good mechanical resistance properties.
  • the result is a structure with thermally insulated walls surrounding an internal space which contains the temperature sensitive product and the refrigerant, which, typically, consists of water, mixed with an additive that lowers its freezing point.
  • Said additive could be a salt such as sodium chloride.
  • the refrigerant is enclosed within at least one container comprised of a flattened, flexible plastic bag, with opposing walls joined together by spot welding and having some partially sealed welded join-lines which delimit joint lines of the various fillable panels.
  • This bag which has a removable stopper, is supplied empty but containing the appropriate amount of the additive mentioned above such that when it is not in use it occupies a limited volume during storage and transportation.
  • the bag can be filled with water when its user anticipates its use; it is then shaken in order to dissolve the additive, chilled in order to freeze its contents and then folded along the joint lines mentioned above in order to form the refrigerated closure for the temperature sensitive product.
  • the package comprises two identical refrigerated bags as described above, each one having three fillable panels demarcated by joint lines, said bags being able to be folded creating a U-shape structure which can be joined together to create a closure with rectangular prismatic structure whose dimensions are suitable for it to be housed within the internal space delimited by the thermally insulated wrapping mentioned earlier.
  • the temperature sensitive product being transported is placed within said refrigerated closure.
  • the whole assembly is protected by an outer shell formed by a conventional cardboard box, such as a foldable box of corrugated cardboard.
  • Text or logos can be printed on the outer surfaces of this cardboard box, which, should preferably be pale in colour so as to avoid, as much as possible, the absorption of external thermal radiation.
  • Fig. 1 In the transversal cross-section in Fig. 1 can be seen a corner of the thermally insulated package for temperature sensitive products according to the present invention.
  • temperature sensitive products could include e.g. medicines, vaccines, laboratory samples, etc.
  • the packaging comprises an accessible shell -1-, insulated walls made from a flexible, open-cell foam polymer or copolymer which form a wrapping -2-, with impermeable internal -3- and external -4- layers or fabrics that delimit the wrapping -2-, each of said layers or fabrics -3-, -4- being comprised of a plastic laminate which forms a barrier against the gaseous and/or liquid diffusing exchange across the wrapping -2-.
  • This wrapping -2- marks the boundary of an internal space suitable for locating the temperature sensitive product -P- being transported, alongside which there is a refrigerant -6- enclosed in a container -5-.
  • the accessible shell -1-, wrapping -2-, external and internal layers or fabrics - 3,4- and the container -5- for the refrigerant element -6- are held separately during their transport and storage while awaiting use, in a compact and flattened state and lend themselves to being assembled and put into service whenever the user so chooses.
  • the flexible polymer or copolymer foam mentioned above should preferably be an either an isocyanate polymer foam or an open-cell urethane copolymer foam.
  • the metallic plastic laminates mentioned above are used on both sides of the wrapping -2-, in order to counter the adverse thermal insulation properties of open-cell foams.
  • These laminates -3- and -4- are comprised of a laminated polythene layer and aluminium layer, which impede the gas found within the polymer foam from diffusing at the air around it as well as providing a hermetic barrier against liquids.
  • the thickness of the polythene layer of the external laminate -4- is greater than that of the internal laminate -3-.
  • the aforementioned foamy copolymer wrapping -2- is comprised of at least six panels -8- with bevelled edges -9- such that they can be fitted together to form a prismatic rectangular structure that demarcates the aforementioned internal space.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 show a practical example of the use of such a wrapping -2-, which is shown to be formed by two flat sections -11-, each one forming part of two jointed panels -8- and another two single-panel pieces -12-.
  • the flat sheets -11- include a split joint -10- which separates the two panels -8-, it being possible to fold over the panels along the joint -10-, forming an "L"-shape and with these panels capable of being joined to each other and to said single panel portions -12- in order to form the rectangular prismatic structure.
  • the impermeable internal -3- and external -4- layers which demarcate both the interior and exterior of the wrapping -2-, said layers -3-,-4- are respectively composed of flexible internal bag -13-and a flexible external bag -14- (see Figs. 4 and 5) with dimensions that adjust, respectively, to the internal and external dimensions of the fully assembled wrapping -2-and prone to be close once assembled. It is evident that these bags can be transported and stored in a folded state so that they take up a minimum amount of space when they are not in use.
  • the closing of the aforementioned internal and external bags -13, 14-, once they are in place may be accomplished by means of any of the commonly used methods e.g. thermal sealing, multiple crimping of its opening, folding and clamping of part of the opening, be means of a clamping ring or by means of a dovetail closure of its opening.
  • Figs 6 and 7 show the aforementioned container -5- for the refrigerant -6-, which comprises a flattened, flexible plastic bag -15- with opposing walls linked together by welded joins -16- having partially sealed, soldered joint lines -17- that define the joint lines of various fillable panels -18-.
  • the refrigerant used -6- is composed of water and an additive -7- in order to lower its freezing point.
  • the additive used could be a salt, such as sodium chloride.
  • the bag -5- comprises a removable stopper -19- and is supplied empty of water but containing the aforementioned additive -7- so that it occupies a reduced volume during transportation and storage while awaiting use, and enabling the user to fill it with water, to shake, chill it to freeze its contents and then fold it along said joint lines -17-thus forming a refrigerated closure for the temperature sensitive product -P- as and when it should be required.
  • Type 1 designed to maintain temperatures of -20°C (-4°F)
  • Type 2 designed to maintain temperatures of 0°C (32°F), the specifications of which be seen in Table 1, below.
  • Type II 0°C (32°F)
  • External dimensions (cm) 68x58,5x53,3 31,5x27,5x30
  • Dimensions of internal space (cm) 32x27x21 23x18,5x20,5 External volume (dm 3 ) 196 26 Volume of the internal space (dm 3 ) 18 9
  • External surface area (m 2 ) 2,03 0,53 Surface area of internal space (m 2 ) 0,42 0,26 Average surface area (m 2 ) 0,93 0,37
  • the dimensions of the internal space refer to the dimensions of the internal space of the thermally insulated wrapping.
  • test conditions for the Type I packaging were as follows:
  • the total thermal permeability coefficient (value k) of the packages is calculated as being the quotient of the refrigerant power and the product of the mean surface area and the temperature difference between the internal and external surfaces.
  • the refrigerant power is derived from the quotient of the refrigerant energy used and the length of time during which the refrigeration temperature is maintained.
  • Knowing the coefficient of thermal permeability enables calculation of the necessary refrigerant power, in other words, the number and type of refrigerant elements needed, as well as the period of desired temperature maintenance for each type of package.
