Environmentally Friendly Refrigerated Containers
|
| | Cryogenic Technology
The Cryo-Power cryogenic ocean freight container is refrigerated by the controlled sublimation of "food grade" solid CO2 to super cold vapor. In a unique process, the Cryo-Power container employs cryogenic vapor to maintain frozen product over the shipping period. The commercially supplied CO2 utilized is a recycled product! Commercial CO2 is captured from other non-related manufacturing processes, scrubbed and compressed into a liquid. Recycled CO2 is a standard component in worldwide food processing industry.

| Refrigerated With CO2
A Cryo-Power cryogenic container is charged with liquid CO2, which automatically converts to snow in the container. The resulting sump of cold BTU's refrigerates the cargo over the shipping period. Once charged with CO2 the container can be shipped without connection to an outside power source, this is a critical attribute because mechanically refrigerated ocean freight containers need a constant external power source.

| | Non-Mechanical Refrigeration
During the period of transportation, the Cryo-Power cryogenic container does not require independent monitoring or maintenance. A Cryo-Power container is less expensive to build and operate when compared to standard mechanically refrigerated ocean freight containers. Since the Cryo-Power container does not require an outside power source for its refrigeration, it does not create green house gasses or use freon like mechanically refrigerated containers.
The ships that carry ocean freight containers do not need special parts or equipment to transport a Cryo-Power container thus the ocean shipping cost are lower than the rates charged for mechanically refrigerated containers.
The Cryo-Power containers can haul super cold (below -40 F) and frozen (-3F) cargoes.

How it Works!
* Frozen goods are loaded and the doors of the container are sealed.
* Liquid CO2 is charged into the container bunker area.
* The liquid CO2 is converted to dry ice snow during the charging of the container.
* Over the transit period, the dry ice sublimates or changes directly from a solid to a super cold vapor.
* The super cold vapor flows down and envelops the cargo, keeping it frozen.
* Simple system!
