Description
THERMALLY INSULATED CONTAINER PROVIDED WITH AT LEAST TWO STACKED
LAYERS OF VACUUM INSULATION PANELS
The present invention relates to a thermally insulated container for containing products for conditioning, wherein the container is formed from a housing accessible by a closing member.
In the transport and/or storage of temperature-sensitive products, such as for instance though not exclusively medicinal products, medicines, organs, high-quality food and luxury products, use is made of insulated containers. There may be a need to keep the products at a temperature higher than ambient temperature, a temperature lower than ambient temperature and/or at a temperature that is more constant than the outside temperature. The containers adapted for this purpose are used for, among other purposes, air and/or road transport of temperature-sensitive products. The existing insulated containers generally have a limited insulating value and are usually heavy.
The present invention has for its object to provide an improved container which is thermally insulated from the environment and which combines a high insulating power with a limited weight and great strength.
The invention provides for this purpose a thermally insulated container of the type stated in the preamble, wherein the walls of the housing are assembled from at least two stacked layers of vacuum insulation panels. Vacuum insulation panels per se for the purpose of insulating particularly buildings have been on the market for some time. A vacuum insulation panel usually has a thickness of 10-40 mm and maximum dimensions of 3000 x 1250 mm. The core material of a vacuum insulation panel can consist of for instance SiO2 (also referred to as fumed silica), fibreboard or foam material. This core material is enclosed gastightly by a metallized foil layer, such as for instance a foil layer provided with an aluminium film. The core of a vacuum insulation panel is held at an underpressure (relative to the environment). In relation to their limited thickness, such vacuum insulation panels have very advantageous K-values, more particularly K-values between 0.0025 and 0.0042.
The K- value (sometimes also referred to as M- value) represents a measure of insulating power. It relates to the amount of heat which escapes per square meter per hour at a temperature difference of 1° K between the two sides of the insulation material [Watt/m2..K]. This means that the lower the K-value, the better the insulation. The K- values for the present thermally insulated container referred to later in this text assume an average K-value over the total surface area of the container.
The present invention applies the known vacuum insulation panels not only as insulation material, it is also applied as construction material. Unexpectedly advantageous here is the particular measure of applying the vacuum insulation panels in a stack of at least two layers. When seeking a good insulation, the first idea would be to increase the thickness of the insulation material to be used; this is also an option for the vacuum insulation panels. The stacking of a plurality of layers of vacuum insulation panels appears to be less obvious in the first instance, since the insulating value obtained through stacking is more expensive than with a single thicker layer with the same insulating value, as the stacking will result in more cold or heat bridges, causes a more complex construction and so forth. It is however precisely this stacking of a plurality of layers of vacuum insulation panels which provides unexpected advantages. The vacuum insulation panels can now be utilized much more effectively as construction parts which at least partially provide the strength of the thermally insulated container. In a preferred variant the thermally insulated container can even be erected from vacuum insulation panels as a self-supporting construction. Particularly for larger containers with edges longer than 1000 mm this results in unexpectedly strong and well insulated containers. An example hereof are larger containers suitable for air transport with outer dimensions in the order of magnitude of edges with a length between 1.5 and 3.5 metres, such as a typical outer dimension for air freight containers of 3160 x 1630 x 2230 mm. It would not seem logical to erect precisely these containers of such considerable dimensions from vacuum insulation panels which also function as construction elements. Partly because of the good thermally insulating properties the container is sold under the name "Isocontainer".
With the measures according to the present invention thermally insulated containers can be manufactured with unexpectedly low average K-values of less than 0.1 Watt/m2.K, more particularly average K-values in the range of [0.06-0.10] Watt/m2.K.
Such values can also be realized when the package of stacked layers of vacuum insulation panels preferably also comprises at least one foil layer of gastight plastic, such as the situation where a gastight plastic foil layer connects on both sides to a layer of vacuum insulation panels and/or the situation where the gastight plastic foil layer protects at least one outer side of the stacked package of vacuum insulation panels, still more preferably when a stacked package of vacuum insulation panels is protected on opposite sides by a gastight plastic foil layer. With a stack provided with one or more foil layers of gastight plastic, such as polystyrene in a favourable case, the insulating value is enhanced and the presence of cold and heat bridges is further limited.
There are multiple options in respect of the closing member. Depending on, among other factors, the conditions of use and the dimensioning, it can be embodied as a single door, a double door, a fully releasable panel and so forth. In respect of the choice of material for the closing member it would also be logical to apply a construction provided with at least two stacked layers of vacuum insulation panels. It is however also possible to opt to apply an otherwise embodied closing member in which at least two stacked layers of vacuum insulation panels are omitted, which does not then detract from the fact that such a thermally insulated container also falls within the scope of the present invention, hi other words, the construction and choice of material of the closing member for the thermally insulated container does not represent a limitation to the thermally insulated container according to the present invention.
For a further strengthening of the thermally insulated container without this resulting in a considerable increase in the weight, it is advantageous that at least one outer side of the stacked package of vacuum insulation panels is protected by an impact-resistant outer and/or inner wall, and the stacked package of vacuum insulation panels is more preferably protected on opposite sides by an impact-resistant wall. An example of an impact-resistant wall is for instance a layer of reinforced polypropylene, although other, preferably fibre-reinforced materials can also provide advantages in specific situations.
Optionally arranging a foam, such as a pressure foam, between the mutually connecting end surfaces of a layer of vacuum insulation panels also contributes toward further improvement in the insulating values of the thermally insulated container.
The present invention applies the known vacuum insulation panels not only in a construction which can take a self-supporting form; alternatively, it is also possible to assemble the construction in partially self-supporting manner from vacuum panels but to also apply a strengthening structure, for instance in the form of an internal strengthening structure of rod material, an external strengthening structure on the edges of the container, or a strengthening structure arranged between the individual layers of vacuum panels.
Partly because of the excellent insulating properties the thermally insulated container can be used without additional cooling and/or hearing, such as for instance in the form of a "cool box". In addition, a simple cooling can also be included which does not require a control and external power source, for instance in the form of a supply of cooling medium such as frozen CO2, also referred to as "dry ice", or other types of cooling element which can absorb heat for a determined period and without external energy supply. A similar possibility is a (passive) heating in the form of arranging a heat buffer in the thermally insulated container. An even better (and more sustained, for instance for a duration of longer than a week) temperature regulation can be obtained by arranging an active (i.e. powered by an energy source) cooling and/or heating. Such an active cooling and/or heating can be combined with sensors and an intelligent control of respectively the cooling and heating means. A significant advantage of the present thermally insulated container in the application with active cooling and/or heating is that, because of the very low K-value, the energy consumption can remain extremely low.
An even greater measure of control of the conditions in the thermally insulated container can be achieved by variable circulation, subject to conditions in the thermally insulated container, of the atmosphere in the conditioning space.
The present invention will be further elucidated on the basis of the non-limitative exemplary embodiments shown in the following figures. Herein: figure 1 is a perspective view of a thermally insulated container according to the present invention;

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a thermally insulated container 1 with two doors 2 which function as closing members for a housing 3. Housing 3 is provided in the shown embodiment variant with five walls 4 assembled from a plurality of layers of vacuum insulation panels as elucidated hereinbelow with reference to figures 2 and 3. The edges of housing 3 are strengthened by angle profiles S in order to thus make container 1 less susceptible to damage.
Figure 2 shows a section through a wall part 10 of a thermally insulated container according to the present invention provided with two stacked layers 11, 12 of vacuum insulation panels 13 between which is located a gastight plastic foil layer 14, manufactured for instance from polystyrene, and the outer sides of wall part 10 are protected by an impact-resistant wall 15 which can for instance be manufactured from reinforced polypropylene. A foam material 16 is arranged between the mutually abutting end surfaces of vacuum insulation panels 13 for the purpose of increasing the insulating action of wall part 10.
Figure 3 shows a section through a second embodiment of a wall part 20 of a thermally insulated container according to the present invention provided with three stacked layers 21, 22, 23 of vacuum insulation panels 24 between each of which a gastight plastic foil layer 25, 26 is located, and one outer side is also protected by a gastight plastic foil
layer 27. A foam material 28 is here once again also arranged between the mutually abutting end surfaces of vacuum insulation panels 24.
Finally, figure 4 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment variant of a thermally insulated container 30 according to the present invention with a releasable cover 31 which functions as closing member for a housing 32. Housing 32 is here also provided with walls 33 which are assembled from a plurality of layers of vacuum insulation panels not shown in this figure. A strengthening structure 34 of metal wire is arranged in housing 32 so as to thus increase the strength, in particular the strength against compression, of container 30.
