Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to temperature control packages, such as coolant packages that are used to maintain a product within a narrow temperature range, a method of making the same and a system. In particular, the present invention relates to temperature control elements and temperature control packages which can be readily manufactured from natural materials and be capable of being readily recycled. Phase Change Material (PCM) technology allows one to configure, vis-a-vis logistics, a mixture of PCM components, to maintain an insulated box or container over a prescribed period-typically from 12-120 hours-within a prescribed temperature range taking into account, the volume and weight of the particular good being transported, the nature of the container, the season, the climate likely to be encountered, the anticipated route (air/sea/land) container configuration and hemisphere. The present invention provides a cold chain system phase change material package, the package comprising a container and a phase change material; wherein the container includes a fibre-based absorbent material; and, wherein the phase change material is principally water. |
