Abstract

A passive thermally regulated shipping container with at least one removable PCM panel containing dual immiscible phase change materials having different freezing points.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
We claim: 
     
         1 . A passive thermally regulated shipping container, comprising:
 a. an outer shell defining a retention chamber,   b. a layer of thermal insulation lining the retention chamber so as to define an insulated retention chamber, and   c. a removable phase change material panel positioned within the insulated retention chamber, wherein the phase change material panel contains dual immiscible phase change materials having different freezing points.   
     
     
         2 . The passive thermally regulated shipping container of  claim 1 , wherein the thermal insulation is vacuum insulated panels. 
     
     
         3 . The passive thermally regulated shipping container of  claim 1 , comprising a plurality of the removable phase change material panels lining the insulated retention chamber. 
     
     
         4 . The passive thermally regulated shipping container of  claim 1 , wherein one of the immiscible phase change materials is water. 
     
     
         5 . The passive thermally regulated shipping container of  claim 1 , wherein one of the immiscible phase change materials is ethylene glycol. 
     
     
         6 . A passive thermally regulated shipping container of  claim 1 , wherein one of the immiscible phase change materials is a paraffin which is liquid at room temperature. 
     
     
         7 . A passive thermally regulated shipping container of  claim 1 , wherein one of the immiscible phase change materials is a paraffin which is solid at room temperature. 
     
     
         8 . The passive thermally regulated shipping container of  claim 1 , wherein one of the immiscible phase change materials is salt water.
