Definitions
- This invention relates to the transport of temperature-sensitive products, such as vaccines where it is desirable or even essential for the product to arrive at its destination without having experienced extremes of temperature.
- sheep's wool is a useful hygroscopic material that can be used within packaging such as corrugated cardboard boxes to provide a local temperature climate within the box by which products being transported, such as heat sensitive vaccines, can be kept within a required temperature range, such as between 2° C. and 8° C., without any artificial means for controlling temperature within the box.
- a required temperature range such as between 2° C. and 8° C.
- PCMs phase change materials
- ice which gradually melt or otherwise change phase during transport, thereby absorbing heat without unduly increasing the temperature of the immediately surrounding environment.
- live vaccines and living organs can be killed or irreparably damaged by the presence of PCMs in such containers and the present invention is derived from the realisation that there is a need to resolve this problem in a user-friendly manner without resorting to powered refrigeration techniques.
- a thermally insulated product delivery container including therewithin a rigid shell defining a hollow tube containing wool, first and second tube-end closure boxes containing wool to thereby collectively define an inner void for receiving at least one phase change material container for providing a temperature controlled condition within the void in the presence of a phase change material (PCM), and at least one thermal baffle positionable between the or each phase change material container and a product to be carried within the compartment.
- PDC thermally insulated product delivery container
- the PDC may take the form of a corrugated cardboard container within which may be inserted a foldable corrugated tubular cardboard shell containing wool between its inner and outer walls, and a pair of tube closure boxes, one for each end of the tube, each also containing wool to therefore collectively define a product receiving void which acts to hygroscopically control the temperature gradient between the outside of the container and the inside of the container.
- One or more PCM containers may therefore be introduced into the interior of the container as a means of establishing a desired temperature range for the atmosphere within the container and, in order to ensure that a product to be transported within the container does not become too cold or too hot during transport a thermal baffle is provided between the product and the or each PCM container.
- the thermal baffle comprises one or more layers of corrugated cardboard serving to control the flow of heat to or from the product, thereby to prevent or inhibit thermal shock to the product.
- the PDC is modular, being cuboid or cylindrical, in which the hollow wool-containing shell is a sliding fit within the container, the or each PCM container is a sliding fit within the wool-containing shell, a thermal baffle is a sliding fit over the or each PCM container e.g. a medical product in its original primary packaging fitted over or between the or each thermal baffle so that when the container is closed it assumes a generally rigid structure whereby to minimise mechanical damage to the contents during transport.
- the or each PCM container includes apertures with which to exchange temperature differences within the PDC.
- first and second tube closure boxes are each separated into two compartments one for receiving wool and the other for receiving a PCM for controlling the temperature within the interior of the PCD.
- the invention in a second aspect also provides a method of transporting temperature-sensitive products by the use of a container in accordance with the first aspect of the invention, the method including the steps of identifying for the product to be delivered a required minimum and maximum temperature range for the duration of transport, identifying a suitable PCM and identifying a suitable thickness or composition of thermal baffle acting between the PCM and the product being transported so as to prevent or inhibit thermal damage thereto.
- the PDC 1 comprises a cuboid corrugated cardboard box 2 insertable within which is a correspondingly shaped and sized hollow tubular shell 3 having therewithin a continuous batt of wool to, in use, act as a hygroscopic thermal insulant.
- the inner wall 4 of the hollow shell 3 is of shape and size corresponding to the external dimensions of, respectively, a first tube closure box 5 having a lower chamber 5 a containing wool (not shown) and an upper chamber 5 b into which may be placed a PCM such as plastics-covered ice cubes which may thermally interact with the area of the interior of the PCD via a series of ventilation apertures 6 .
- thermal baffles 7 , 8 Between the apertures are a pair of thermal baffles 7 , 8 between which may be placed a product to be transported (not shown) such as a pre-packaged temperature sensitive vaccine. Above the thermal baffle 8 is a dedicated PCM container 9 having various apertures (not shown) for permitting thermal interaction with a PCM and the inside of the container 1 , above which is a second tube closure box 10 which, as with the first tube closure box 5 includes an outer compartment 10 a containing wool and an inner compartment 10 b for containing further PCM.
- the hollow wool-insulated tube 3 is placed within the cardboard box 2 and the first tube closure box 5 is pushed down to the lower end of tube 3 after a PCM has been inserted within the upper compartment 5 b.
- the thermal baffle 7 is then placed on top immediately below a product to be carried (not shown) whereafter the second baffle 8 is placed thereover followed by PCM container 9 and finally the second tube closure box 10 after the PCM container 10 b has been filled with a PCM.
- the size and shape of the PDC may vary to suit the type of product being transported but in each case the general principle in accordance with the invention is that the product is surrounded by an outer layer of hygroscopic thermal insulation in the form of wool and the product itself is protected from any adverse thermal shock from the PCM by the presence of thermal baffles 7 , 8 , the thickness of which may be adjusted to suit the requirements of the product being transported.
- thermal baffles 7 , 8 the thickness of which may be adjusted to suit the requirements of the product being transported.
- a further feature of the invention is that all of the components (other than the thermal insulation and PCM) can be made from sheet material such as corrugated cardboard, which lends itself to recycling along with the wool or even re-use of the product delivery container in the event that there has been little or no damage to it during transport. This has the added benefit in permitting PDC to be flat-packed for storage and transport to end-users for subsequent self-assembly.
