A system and its use for treatment of freight in a vacuum, having a chamber 1 for receiving a loaded container 9 having an external length CLa, an external width CBa and an external height CHa, wherein the chamber 1 has two side walls 11, 12 arranged opposite to a bottom 13 and top 14 and arranged opposite to a front wall 15 and back wall 16, and wherein a direction system XYZ is at right angles; and a conveying element 2 for parking and moving a container 9 relative to chamber 1 from a first position P1 outside the chamber 1 into a second position P2 inside the chamber 1; and a driving device 8 for moving between the first position P1 and the second position P2.

In an inside air control system, a first pump supplies treatment target air to an adsorption vessel, and a second pump sucks gas from the adsorption vessel. In an adjustment operation of adjusting the composition of air in a storage, the inside air control system alternately performs a first action and a second action. When a stop condition for stopping the adjustment operation is satisfied, a controller performs stop control. In the stop control, the controller controls the second pump to suck the gas from the adsorption vessel to which the first pump supplies the treatment target air when the stop condition is satisfied, and controls the second pump to stop after the second pump has operated for a first time T1.

A modular logistics system (10) including: a container (12) having a top (14), a base (16), side walls (18) and end walls (20); and a storage frame (23) housed within the container (12) in an operationally ready state, wherein in a first configuration the side walls (18) and end walls (20) are fixed to form an enclosure around the storage frame (23) for transport of the storage system (10), and in a second configuration the end panels (20) are removable to allow extension of the storage frame (23), and at least a portion of one of the side walls (18) is removable to provide access to the storage frame (23) during use, so that the container (12) and the storage frame (23) are transported and installed as a single unit.

A fully self-contained, portable product dehydrator is provided comprising: an intermodal container housing an equipment module, the equipment module including a refrigeration equipment chamber proximate the front door and an air conditioning chamber behind the refrigeration equipment chamber, the equipment module retained in the interior and moveable from a retracted position to an extended position, wherein when in the extended position, the refrigeration equipment chamber is substantially exposed to an ambient environment, outside the front door; a heat pump dehumidifier including a subcooler, a desuperheater, electronic expansion valve and a compressor, housed in the refrigeration equipment chamber and at least two condensers and evaporator housed in the air conditioning chamber, a drying chamber, the drying chamber defined by the interior and the rear door; a motor control center; and a control panel; in electronic communication with the heat pump dehumidifier and the fans.

In an inside air control system, a first pump supplies treatment target air to an adsorption vessel, and a second pump sucks gas from the adsorption vessel. In an adjustment operation of adjusting the composition of air in a storage, the inside air control system alternately performs a first action and a second action. When a stop condition for stopping the adjustment operation is satisfied, a controller performs stop control. In the stop control, the controller controls the second pump to suck the gas from the adsorption vessel to which the first pump supplies the treatment target air when the stop condition is satisfied, and controls the second pump to stop after the second pump has operated for a first time T1.

Disclosed is a container for the dry fog humidity control and freshness preservation of fruits and vegetables, comprising a container body and a refrigeration unit, wherein the refrigeration unit comprises a compressor, an evaporator and a condenser, the evaporator being located inside the container body; and further comprising a water tank for collecting condensed water of the refrigeration unit, wherein a dry fog atomization spray head is disposed adjacent to the evaporator in the container body; the dry fog atomization spray head (8) comprises a gas cavity, (8-4), a liquid cavity, a mixing cavity and a nozzle; a liquid inlet of the liquid cavity is in communication with the water tank; and the nozzle of the dry fog atomization spray head faces the evaporator so as to enable dry fog generated by the dry fog atomization spray head to be discharged along with cold air of the refrigeration unit.

Apparatus, systems, and methods for housing a bulk material within a flexible container are described herein. In some embodiments, a method includes maintaining a flexible container in an expanded configuration to define an interior volume. A bulk material is conveyed into the interior volume of the expanded flexible container. The flexible container is then moved from the expanded configuration to a collapsed configuration, such that movement of the bulk material within the interior volume is limited.

An inside air control apparatus includes a composition adjuster. Outside air flowing in a first inflow path and inside air flowing in a second inflow path flow into the composition adjuster as the air to be treated. The composition adjuster separates the air to be treated into first air and second air. The first air flows into a first outflow path. The second air flows into a second outflow path. An outlet switching mechanism changes the destinations of the first air and the second air.

An air control apparatus includes: a gas separation membrane to which target air is supplied; and a controller configured to execute a first action of reducing deterioration in performance of the gas separation membrane due to stop of the air control apparatus for a predetermined period.

A container with improved sealing, for improved security in the event of loading, transporting and/or unloading submicron particles, in particular nanopowder/nanoparticles, includes a connector for injecting liquid and/or gas. Such a container can also contain at least one inflatable seal (40) valve (3; 4). The container is provided with elements for changing the physical state of the material by heating, mixing or ultrasound bombardment. A method for using the container and an inflatable seal valve are also described.
