UNIT LOAD DEVICE AND METHOD FOR STORING AND TRANSPORTING ARTICLES
The present disclosure relates to a unit load device and a method for storing and transporting articles. The unit load device includes: a housing defining an internal space and an opening to the internal space; and a cover configured to operably open or hermetically close the opening; wherein the housing is provided with a housing temperature control layer containing at least a first phase change material, and/or the cover is provided with a cover temperature control layer containing at least a second phase change material, so that during storage of articles in the internal space hermetically closed by the cover, a temperature of the internal space is within a preset temperature range after a preset period of time has elapsed.
Access panel
A system comprises: a molded tub (92A; 92B) comprising: a base (96); a sidewall (98) extending from the base; and a mounting flange (94) extending from the sidewall; a pre-molded expanded material insert (162, 164; 220, 222; 700, 702) within the tub; and a cover (90A; 90B) over the insert.
Transport of powders
A powder container (10) comprising a pressure vessel (12) for containing a quantity of powder (14) and a quantity of pressurised gas (32), an outlet through which, in use, the powder (14) can flow out of the pressure vessel (12), and an outlet valve (24) for selectively opening and closing the outlet, wherein the container (10) further comprises a data sensing and/or logging means (56, 58, 60, 62, 64) adapted to monitor and/or log various parameters of the powder (14) and/or the pressurised gas (32) and further comprising a control unit (54) adapted record and log the sensor readings either continuously, or at intervals, the control unit (54) comprising a communications module adapted to relay sensor readings, or log files, to a remote monitoring station.
TRANSPORT CONTAINER WITH GAS SELECTIVE MEMBRANE EXHAUST
Described herein is a method for operating a refrigerated stripping container containing respiring produce, the method including: passing a cooled CO.sub.2-rich air stream from an internal environment within the shipping container through a CO.sub.2 selective membrane of a membrane system to produce a cooled CO.sub.2-lean air stream and a CO.sub.2-rich permeate stream; retaining or returning the cooled CO.sub.2-lean air stream to the internal environment; and exhausting the CO.sub.2-rich permeate stream to an external environment outside of the shipping container: drawing external air or permitting external air to pass into the shipping container through an air vent with a pre-set fixed opening of the shipping container in a volume to at least balance a volume difference between the cooled CO.sub.2-rich air stream and the cooled CO.sub.2-lean air stream; wherein the membrane system is operated according to a pre-set mode, and the pre-set mode is independent of a measured gas concentration or pressure of the internal environment; and the pre-set fixed opening of the vent is selected based on one or more characteristics of the respiring produce and the pre-set mode of the membrane system.
Adjustable truck compartment system
An example adjustable truck compartment is described. The truck compartment includes a first side wall including a first guiding rail extending between a proximal end and a distal end, and a second side wall disposed opposite from the first side wall, the second side wall including a second guiding rail extending between a proximal end and a distal end of the second side wall. The truck compartment includes a rear wall coupled to the distal ends of the first and second side walls to define an enclosure between the first side wall, the second side wall, and the rear wall. The truck compartment includes a first divider panel configured to be received by the first and second guiding rails and within the enclosure in an orientation parallel to a floor of the enclosure to separate the enclosure into a first enclosure volume and a second enclosure volume.
TWO SELECTIVE MODULES FOR A CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE CONTAINER
The invention relates to a reefer container (1) having a controlled atmosphere system (3) comprising:a first selective unit (4) comprising an absorber or a membrane (9) being selective for carbon dioxide over oxygen and nitrogen;a second selective unit (11) comprising an absorber or a membrane (14) being selective for oxygen over nitrogen; anda vacuum pump (6) for extracting and removing separated gasses from a permeate side (8, 13) of the first and second selective units (4, 11) to outside the container(1), where the system (3) is further comprising a pump (15) for providing an overpressure in the container(1). The pump (15) can be connected to the container (1) through a feed side (12) of the second selective unit (11). The invention further relates to a method of controlling reefer container (1) having a controlled atmosphere system (3).
Grain storage bin with aeration system
A grain storage bin includes a cylindrical wall formed by a plurality of panels arranged in rows with a bottom edge of a first row bolted to a top edge of a second lower row. At each joint the bottom edge of the first upper row is overlapped with and outside of the outer surface of top edge of the second lower row and the bottom edge is fastened to the top edge by bolts carrying spacers as to define a first channel along the joint for passage of air. A central air injection duct is formed of a series of generally frustoconical duct pieces arranged in a row suspended on a cable from the roof with a tube portion into which the air is injected fixed on legs at a hopper bottom standing upwardly therefrom. The cable is connected by a spring at the bottom to maintain tension.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PREVENTING CONDENSATION DURING SHIPPING
Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices for preventing condensation during shipping of prefabricated electrical equipment within a plurality of enclosures. In one embodiment, the system includes a first enclosure first monitoring sensor configured to be positioned within a first enclosure of the plurality of enclosures, and a first enclosure climate control device configured to be positioned at least partially within the first enclosure. The system also includes a first enclosure primary side electrical interconnect, a first enclosure secondary side electrical interconnect, and a first enclosure controller. The first enclosure controller is coupled with the first enclosure first monitoring sensor, the first enclosure climate control device, the first enclosure primary side electrical interconnect, and first enclosure secondary side electrical interconnect. The plurality of enclosures may be embedded within a prefabricated electrical distribution center (EDC), a modular data center (MDC), an integrated power skid, an integrated switchboard, or the like.
Power control for a container vessel
Disclosed is a power control system for a container vessel. The power control system has a power interface for supplying energy to at least one reefer container transportable by the container vessel. The power control system also has a controller configured to obtain load data representative of a load on a generator of the container vessel, and target load range data representative of a target load range for the generator. The power control system is configured to control the load such that the load falls within the target load range by the controller increasing energy supplied to the power interface for storage at the at least one reefer container, when the load is below the target load range.
