  • TITLE OF THE INVENTION Device for measuring atmospheric and / or environmental variables.
  • FIELD OF APPLICATION Storage and / or export of products in controlled and modified atmospheres.
  • the present invention relates to a portable electronic device comprising sensors for measuring environmental and atmospheric parameters, a battery, an information storage modality, among others, which allows measuring, recording, transmitting and / or storing the measured environmental parameters. .
  • the present invention relates to a device that delivers records of the measurement of multiple variables at the same time, such as temperature, relative humidity, concentration of C0 2 and 0 2 and may include others such as the measurement of ozone or ethylene, depending on Market requirements
  • monitors has been used for some years in the medium, a device, corresponds to the patent WO2003035505 "Method and device for quality assured transport" made in 2003 by Oskar Langeland.
  • This device and method allows the measurement of temperature and humidity for the subsequent verification of these physical parameters, as well as access to goods, after transport and storage.
  • the products are placed inside a container, together with the monitoring / recording apparatus, the products and the recording apparatus are sealed in the container by means of one or more breakable sealing means.
  • Controlled Atmosphere Systems In general, the controlled atmosphere system consists of the modification and monitoring of carbon dioxide and oxygen gases. The main systems are described below.
  • the method comprises monitoring the oxygen or carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere and, when the oxygen content approaches a level at which the product becomes anaerobic, it injects oxygen into the container in such a way that the content of This in the atmosphere is again sufficient to allow the product to breathe.
  • the high content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere allows the life of the product in storage to be extended.
  • the removable system includes devices for the detection, separately, of the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the container, devices for the establishment of setpoints or desired values of the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the container, and to change the set points, over time, depending on the nature of the products and other variables, and for the maintenance of the oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations at desired set points for scheduled times by admitting air into the container, as a source of oxygen, and by air purification to remove carbon dioxide, as necessary.
  • controlled atmosphere systems have the following disadvantages: 1) They are devices that monitor and regulate only the variables of carbon dioxide and oxygen gases, leaving aside other variables associated with the conservation of fruits, such as other gases, temperature and relative humidity.
  • TECHNICAL PROBLEM THAT SOLVES Chile is recognized as an agri-food power. Many of the Chilean products are destined for an export market, highlighting many perishable products, for example, fruit and vegetable products, which are sent to distant countries by sea, which can take up to 45 days in transit, keeping the product stored for at least this time and even more, if required at destination. To keep the products in optimal conditions, there are several mechanisms of atmospheric and environmental modification that are used controlling variables such as temperature, Relative Humidity (RH) and gases such as ethylene, 0 2 , C0 2 among others.
  • RH Relative Humidity
  • gases such as ethylene, 0 2 , C0 2 among others.
  • One type of technology used is the Controlled Atmosphere (AC).
  • the AC service during the export of products, is performed by shipping companies.

  • the device proposed in the present invention measures and stores in internal memory the levels of C0 2 , 0 2 , temperature, relative humidity and possibly other variables, during the transit time and storage of the product in the containers permanently and / or periodic.
  • This device is independent, autonomous, portable and reusable.
  • the device is installed inside the container with the load or product to be transported or stored and records, stores and / or downloads the environmental and / or atmospheric variables by means of software. Once the container with the product arrives at its destination, the information registered and / or stored in the device is available by downloading instantly, or, the data can be transmitted via satellite in real time, through a communication module Satellite incorporated in the equipment.
  • Measures against a bad service If the products stored and / or exported arrive in poor conditions, it is necessary to know what happened and to whom the responsibility corresponds. (Ex: the cause of the problem is the levels of the atmospheric and / or environmental variables, such as, t °, HR, gases used in storage and / or export, or a management problem prior to storage and / or export ). This will depend on the response and actions of insurance companies involved in the quality of the products transported.
  • COMPARATIVE TECHNICAL ADVANTAGE This device allows measuring, recording and storing parameters of atmospheric and / or environmental variables, simultaneously and with easy access to information, whether online, via satellite or downloaded through software once The device is recovered, by connecting the equipment to a computer via a USB cable or other means.
