Temperature Control of C02 (Dry Ice), Passive Shipping Container

卡莫森学院正在与冷冻物流制冷技术有限公司建立其首个应用研究合作伙伴关系，该公司开发了一种被动运输制冷机组，使用干冰(冷冻二氧化碳)作为冷源，在零下温度下运输温度敏感的食品和药品。冷冻物流的托盘规模单元可以很容易地适应现有的食物链运输环境。这一概念已被北美各地的行业利益相关者通过“客户发现”访谈进行了验证。使用干冰作为运输集装箱的冷源是一种经济的碳中和技术，随着时间的推移，它将取代今天安装在冷藏卡车上的能源密集型和昂贵的柴油动力制冷机组。该项目将在Cryo物流的道路上迈出重要的一步，通过开发一种方法，使其冷装集装箱可以进行被动恒温控制，从而提供一致和可控的产品运输温度。

Camosun College is entering into its first applied research partnership with CryoLogistics Refrigeration Technologies Ltd, a company developing a passive transport refrigeration unit for shipping temperature sensitive food and pharmaceutical products at sub-zero temperatures using Dry Ice (frozen CO2) as its cold source. CryoLogistics' pallet-scale unit can fit easily into the existing food-chain shipping environment. The concept has been validated by industry stakeholders across North America by 'customer discovery' interviews. Using Dry Ice as the shipping container's cold source is an economical carbon neutral technology that, with time, will replace the energy intensive and expensive diesel-powered refrigeration units installed into reefer trucks today. This project will add an important step along CryoLogistics' path to providing consistent and controllable product shipping temperatures by developing a means by which their cold shipping containers can have passive thermostatic control.
