Abstract
The invention is directed to a container for environmentally controlled and temperature-regulated transport of perishable goods, the environment-controlling unit being arranged in the essentially cuboid container in the region of the one end face thereof as a component, which is to be allocated to the container and to be separated from it. The environment-controlling unit is broken up into functionally connected components, or is composed of components, which are functionally connected with one another, the components being allocated to the region or regions between the temperature-regulating unit and a container corner post at the side of the temperature-regulating unit. In this way, space within the container is utilized, which previously was unused and was filled with foam, as were the container side walls, in order to avoid heat bridges. Because of its shape, the space gained makes it possible that environment-controlling equipment with an air separator can be used, in which the air of the surroundings is split into the oxygen and nitrogen, which are required for control of the environment.
