Benefits of technology

[0013]It has been found that this proportion of openings in the sleeve provides particular benefits regarding the kinetics of moisture absorption by the desiccant arrangement as required in a closed container. Containers are exposed to considerable environmental temperature changes, for example temperature changes caused during the day by considerable warming by sunlight during the day to much cooler temperature at night or temperature changes caused by transportation of the container from tropic subtropic climate zones to more arid climate zones. These considerable temperature changes are reflected by considerable changes in the relative humidity of the atmosphere in the container. The preferred proportion of openings in the sleeve surface allow an optimal and rapid access of the moisture to the desiccant in the desiccant arrangement in order to avoid the undesired condensation of wate

Example

[0087]In FIG. 7a, b is shown a first embodiment of the hanger to be used with the desiccant container according to the invention. FIG. 7a displays a perspective view whereas FIG. 7b is a view onto one side of the hanger. The hanger generally designated as 135 comprises a bar 136 made of a stiff material, e.g. metal or reinforced plastic. Centrally on bar 136 is mounted a hook 117, e.g. by welding. Bar 136 is thereby divided into two shoulders 137a and 137b each having the same length. Hook 117 is oriented orthogonally towards bar 136. This can also be seen from FIG. 7(b) which is a view along the axis formed by bar 136. Hook 117 comprises a straight leg 138 extending from bar 136. Straight leg 138 is continued by a first arcuated section 139 which is bent in a direction towards straight leg 138. First arcuated section 139 is continued by a second arcuated section 140 having a curvature opposite to the curvature of first arcuated section 139. Thereby together with straight leg 138 is...

Example

[0088]FIG. 7(c) is a perspective view of a second embodiment of a hanger to be used for the desiccant container according to the invention. Hanger 135 comprises a hook 117 having a similar shape as the hook explained with the embodiment of FIG. 7(b) above. Mounted to straight leg 138 of hook 117 is a bent bar 141 comprising a shoulder 142 which is continued after a turn 143 by a straight section 144. Hook 117 is situated at about the center of straight section 144 and is oriented orthogonally to shoulder 142 and straight section 144.

[0089]FIG. 8 (a, b) shows top views of desiccant arrangements 154 to be used with a desiccant container according to the invention.

[0090]FIG. 8 (a) shows an embodiment of a desiccant arrangement 154 that may be used e.g. together with a hanger as depicted in FIG. 7a. The desiccant arrangement comprises pouches 145 which accommodate a desiccant. Pouches 145 are arranged side-by-side in a longitudinal and transversal directions thereby forming a blanket. A...

Abstract

The invention is directed to a desiccant container which includes—a hanger element (12, 135) for suspension in a zone from which it is desired to remove moisture; a desiccant arrangement (14, 154) comprising at least one moisture permeable receptacle containing a supply of desiccant, the desiccant arrangement being—suspended from the hanger element (12, 135); and a flexible protective sleeve (18, 101), at least a part of which is moisture permeable, arranged about the desiccant arrangement (14, 154), wherein the sleeve is mounted on the hanger element (12, 135) independently from the desiccant arrangement.

Description

[0001]This invention relates, generally, to moisture removing devices and, more particularly, to a desiccant container for the removal of moisture from the environment. The invention has particular, but not necessarily exclusive, application in ISO transport containers.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0002]In the transportation of goods through different climatic zones, there is a danger of the goods being transported being spoiled as a result of the build up of moisture. This danger is especially pronounced in the case of ISO transport containers which may be shipped into and out of humid zones such as tropical areas.[0003]To counteract this problem, use is made of desiccant containing covers or linings used in the interior of the containers. Such covers or linings at least partially ameliorate the situation but are expensive and there is therefore a desire to re-use them. The Applicant is aware of a container which can be suspended from a wall of the ISO container. This container, howe...
