  • Temperature controlled shipping containers
    Patent number: 6968711
    Abstract: Novel sorption cooling devices capable of providing cooling over an extended period of time are disclosed. The sorption cooling devices are particularly useful for temperature-controlled shipping containers that are required to maintain a temperature below ambient for a time sufficient to complete delivery of the container and its contents. The shipping containers can be utilized to cost-effectively transport temperature-sensitive products.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 6, 2002
    Date of Patent: November 29, 2005
    Assignee: Nanopore, Inc.
    Inventors: Douglas M. Smith, Tamara L. O'Brien, Kevin H. Roderick, Lois X. Warren, Richard G. Perkes, Vanessa Sinclair, Quentin Shrimpton

  • Cooling device and temperature-controlled shipping container using same
    Patent number: 6688132
    Abstract: A sorption cooling device capable of providing cooling over an extended period of time. The sorption cooling device is particularly useful in a temperature-controlled shipping container that is required to maintain a temperature below ambient for an extended period of time. In one embodiment, the cooling device includes a means for restricting the flow of refrigerant liquid to control the degree of cooling over an extended period of time.
