  • Food/beverage container with thermal control
    Patent number: 10316235
    Abstract: A container for a food and/or beverages is provided. The container is designed such that it may have the capability of absorbing excess thermal energy from the food or beverage, thereby cooling the consumable material to a desired temperature and maintaining the material at the desired temperature for a considerable period of time. The container typically includes an outer insulating shell; an inner heat conducting liner and a phase change material (PCM). To facilitate heat transfer to and from a food or beverage stored in the container, the PCM is commonly disposed between the outer insulating shell and the inner heat conducting liner and positioned in thermal contact with the inner heat conducting liner. The PCM may include a diol diester having a melting point of about 30 to 90° C.

  • Latent heat storage using renewable phase change materials
    Patent number: 9434674
    Abstract: A method of producing a diol diester, which includes reacting a fatty acid alkyl ester having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, an ?,?-alkanediol having n carbon atoms, wherein n is an integer from 2 to 22; and a basic transesterification catalyst, is provided. Use of the diol diesters as phase change materials is also provided.
