Hybrid shipping container
A hybrid shipping container is a shipping system that uses the energy of phase-change material (PCM) in combination with the ability to recharge without removing the media. This ability is known as cold-energy battery.{{cite web |url=http://www.greencooling.co.uk/our-products/cold-batteries/ |title=Cold Batteries |publisher=Green Cooling |date=2014-06-20 |accessdate=2017-01-14}}
Application
Currently, this technology is only being used in a limited number of shipping containers.
- SkyCell - high energy protection
- TOWER - very limited energy protection
- Peli BioThermal - high energy protection
- World Courier Cocoon - similar platform to va-Q-tec
- va-Q-tec - high energy protection combined with vacuum panels
A Cold-energy battery works by storing energy to a given temperature and using its thermal mass to maintain this temperature.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} It can be recharged by being placed in a temperature range applicable to its phase change window.
