Title:
INSULATING CONTAINER, AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/102234
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are an insulating container and a method for driving the insulating container, whereby it becomes possible to store a cold heat in a heat storage material within a relatively short time and it also becomes possible to prevent the formation of frost or dew drops in a refrigerator. An insulating container (50) comprising: a first container (60), a second container (70), and a cooling means (90) for cooling the inside of the first container (60) to a temperature that is lower than the surrounding living temperature and cooling the inside of the second container (70) to a temperature that is lower than the temperature of the inside of the first container (60) in an ordinary operation. The first container (60) has a cold room (63) for cooling a stored material and also has a first heat storage section (66) between a first heat insulation section (65) of the first container (60) and the cold room (63). The first heat storage section (66) is composed of a first material which can cause phase transfer between a liquid phase and a solid phase at a temperature lying between a temperature that can be controlled in the cold room (63) by an ordinary operation and the living temperature surrounding the insulating container (50). The cold room (63) is equipped with a dehumidifier (54), and the cooling means (90) has a cooling mechanism (95) for cooling the inside of the cold room (63) in the same manner as in the inside of the second container (70) that is cooled by an ordinary operation.
