Definitions
- the present invention relates a liner for lining a container, such as a shipping container, railway container, trucking container, storage container, transport container or the like. Such containers are used for freight forwarding.
- the present invention relates to container liners for use with temperature-sensitive cargoes.
- Such shipping containers generally have one end that comprises a lockable door or doors.
- the containers are loaded with produce and goods by opening the door or doors and stacking the produce and goods inside the container.
- Wine is one example of a temperature-sensitive cargo, it is sensitive not only to extremes of temperature but also to rates of change of temperature.
- Australia currently exports about fifty thousand shipping containers of wine a year by sea It is currently the practise for the contents of shipping containers, such as cartons of wine bottles, to be placed close to or hard up against the vertical sides of the shipping containers. This results in direct conductive, radiative and convective heat exchange between the wall of the shipping container and the product. Some heat exchange also takes place between the roof of the shipping container and the product. The outermost layers of product tend to provide some thermal protection for inner layers of product.
- the present invention provides a method of insulating a shipping container or the like, comprising the provision of a first layer of sheet material having opposed sides and being reflective on both of those opposed sides, placed inwardly from each side wall of the container and separated from the wall of the container such that one opposed side faces the wall of the container and the other opposed side faces inwardly into the container.
- the method of insulating a shipping container further comprises the provision of a second layer of sheet material having opposed sides and being reflective on both of those opposed sides, placed inwardly from the first layer of sheet material and separated from the first layer of sheet material such that one opposed side faces the at least one layer of sheet material and the other opposed side faces inwardly into the container.
- the method of insulating a shipping container or the like further comprises the provision of a first layer of sheet material having opposed sides and being reflective on both of those opposed sides, placed inwardly from the roof of the container and separated from the roof of the container such that one opposed side faces the roof of the container and the other opposed side faces inwardly into the container.
- the method of insulating a shipping container further comprises the provision of a second layer of sheet material having opposed sides and being reflective on both of those opposed sides, placed inwardly from the first layer of sheet material that is placed inwardly from the roof and separated from the first layer of sheet material that is placed inwardly from the roof such that one opposed side faces the at least one layer of sheet material that is placed inwardly from the roof and the other opposed side faces inwardly into the container.
- the method of insulating a shipping container or the like further comprises the provision of a first layer of sheet material having opposed sides and being reflective on both of those opposed sides, placed outwardly from the container contents adjacent the doors of the container and separated from the container contents such that one opposed side faces the doors of the container and the other opposed side faces inwardly into the container.
- the method of insulating a shipping container or the like further comprises the provision of a second layer of sheet material having opposed sides and being reflective on both of those opposed sides, placed outwardly from the first layer of sheet material that is adjacent the doors of the container and separated form that first layer of sheet material by a gap such that one opposed side faces the doors of the container and the other opposed side faces inwardly into the container.
- the clearance between the first layer of sheet material and the walls of the container is in the range of 15 millimetres to 25 millimetres. It is especially preferred that each such clearance is substantially 20 millimetres.
- the clearance between the first layer of sheet material and the second layer of sheet material is in the range of 15 millimetres to 25 millimetres. It is especially preferred that each such clearance is substantially 20 millimetres.
- the present invention provides a liner for a shipping container or the like, the liner being adapted so that, when in use, it presents a first reflective side towards the sides of the container and a second reflective side inwards to the container, the liner comprising:
- the liner further comprises:
- the liner is:
- FIG. 1 is s photograph which illustrates details of two alternative preferred embodiments of the invention
- FIG. 2 is a photograph which illustrates a preferred embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 3 is a photograph which illustrates details of further preferred embodiments of the invention.
- FIG. 4 is a photograph which illustrates details of yet further preferred embodiments of the invention.
- FIG. 1 illustrates embodiments of the invention.
- the figure shows a shipping container which has four side walls, one of which is indicated by the reference numeral 1 .
- Reference numeral 2 in FIG. 1 indicates a spacer 2 which has been affixed to the wall 1 by double-sided adhesive tape.
- the spacer 2 according to this embodiment of the invention is formed by multiple layers of cardboard that have been fixed together in layers by use of adhesive.
- the surface of the spacer 2 that faces inwards of the shipping container also carries double-sided adhesive tape that is not illustrated in the figure.
- Reference numeral 2 in FIG. 1 shows a spacer 3 which has also been affixed to the wall 1 using double-sided adhesive tape, but the spacer 3 according to this embodiment is a length of polystyrene or any other suitable plastics material.
- the surface of the spacer 3 that faces inwards of the shipping container also carries double-sided adhesive tape that is not illustrated in the figure.
- FIG. 2 shows the installation of a first layer of doubly-reflective sheet material into a shipping container which has had spacers affixed to the walls.
- the doubly-reflective sheet material has a plastics foil base and has a reflective coating on each side of the foil.
- the doubly-reflective sheet material is prepared in rolls, the width of each roll matching the height of a shipping container. The sheet material is unrolled firmly against the spacers such as 2 or 3 , so that it is spaced from the walls of the shipping container.
- a second layer of doubly-reflective sheet material is applied over the first such layer, using spacers that are affixed to the first such layer and inwardly of it.
- a preferred methodology of installing the doubly-reflective material is to affix it through the medium of the spacers to the cargo, rather than to the doors of the container. That is, spacers such as are illustrate in FIG. 1 are attached to the packaging that contains the cargo (such as cartons of bottled wine). A layer of doubly-reflective sheet material is applied to the exposed surface of those spacers. It is preferred that a second layer of doubly-reflective sheet material is then applied by the mechanism of affixing spacers to the first layer and affixing sheet material to those spacers.
- FIG. 4 Another preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 4 .
- the embodiment of FIG. 4 uses cardboard material that has opposed reflective sides.
- the cardboard material is supplied in a single length, the length of corresponding to the aggregate internal length of the container walls and doors and of a width appropriate to the height of the container.
- Spacers preferably of sponge rubber, are pre-attached to the length of cardboard.
- the length of cardboard when supplied for installation has been folded at fold-lines along across its width so that it folds as a pack. When the liner is in the folded pack form, the sponge rubber spacers compress so that the pack occupies less volume than it would otherwise do.
- FIG. 3 Installation of a liner 30 according to this embodiment of the invention into a shipping container 31 is illustrated in FIG. 3 .
- the liner in the form as supplied of a folded pack is stood on edge adjacent the container doors 32 and 33 .
- One free end 34 of the liner 30 is clamped to the outer edge region of the door 32 using readily detachable-clamps 37 and 38 .
- the other free end 36 of the liner 30 is clamped to the outer edge region of the door 33 using readily-detachable clamps 39 and 41 .
- the region of the liner between its two free ends 34 and 36 is then unfolded by a worker who moves towards the end of the container opposite the doors 32 and 33 and who places the unfolding portions of the liner adjacent the side walls of the container 31 as they are unfolded, finally moving the appropriate part of the liner 30 into place adjacent the end wall of the container 31 .
- Spacers that were pre-attached to the liner 30 maintain spacing between the liner 30 and the walls of the container 31 .
- This embodiment of the invention does not require the use of adhesive to hold the spacers, and consequentially the liner 30 in place as the rigidity of the cardboard comprising the liner 30 causes the liner to stay in place.
- a layer of doubly reflective sheet material 41 is similarly placed adjacent the roof of the container, using spacers affixed to the roof.
- a preferred form of such a layer of material, and a preferred methodology of installing it in the container, is illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4 .
- Preferred materials for the sheet 41 include plastics sheeting and more preferably polystyrene sheet material.
- the layer of roof material 41 preferably includes a set of tapes [that are not illustrated in the figure] adjacent its periphery for attachment of the roof material 41 to the container 31 . It is preferred that the roof material 41 be mounted so that there is a gap of about 150 mm between it and the container roof.
