Abstract: A method and a container for storing or transporting goods, in particular food products in a frozen and/or chilled state, include a conditioned room where the goods are placed. The room is conditioned by means of a refrigerating medium, for instance solid carbon dioxide, arranged above the room, the refrigerating medium and the room being divided by an insulated panel. A variety of insulated panels can be provided between the refrigerating medium and the room so as to maintain a required amount of cold transfer between the refrigerant and the room. The amount of refrigerating medium can be varied in accordance with specifications such as the assumed duration of the transport/storage, the required storage temperature and a predicted average of the ambient temperature.
