Abstract
A thermally insulated transport container for use with an ice battery, having an internal usable volume for freeze-free cooling of temperature-sensitive products placed therein, the usable volume having an outward usable volume portion, an internal cold storage volume sized to receive the ice battery, the cold storage volume having an inward cold storage volume portion adjacent to the outward usable volume portion to define a common interface of the usable volume and the cold storage volume, a heat-conducting liner extending about the usable volume and having a heat-conducting liner portion located between the outward usable volume portion and the inward cold storage volume portion, and a phase change material (PCM) container positioned adjacent to the heat-conducting liner portion at the common interface and in heat-conducting contact with the heat conduction liner portion, the PCM container sized to contain a phase change material.
