  • Method and apparatus for creating an air-conditioned atmosphere
    Patent number: 8122738
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for creating an air-conditioned atmosphere in a transportation container (14), having a compressor (3) for generating compressed air, a cooling device (5) for cooling the compressed air and a gas-separation diaphragm (10), which is connected downstream of the compressor (3) and the cooling device (5), for producing a nitrogen-rich gas stream, and a wetting diaphragm (12), with the apparatus permitting controlled wetting of the nitrogen-rich gas stream. The invention also relates to a method for creating an air-conditioned atmosphere in a storage or transportation container, in which method compressed air is generated by means of a compressor, the compressed air is then cooled using a cooling device and a nitrogen-rich gas stream is produced from the compressed air for the purpose of conduction into the transportation container by means of a gas-separation diaphragm.
