Embodiment Construction

Overview

[0012]The example embodiments described herein provide a segmented container wherein different segments of the container are maintained at different temperatures through the use of different coolants or amounts of coolant in each compartment.

[0013]In an example embodiment, a delivery organization receives an order to deliver one or more products to a user. In an example, the user has ordered products from a merchant to be delivered to the residence of the user.

Abstract

Delivering items to users by a delivery organization comprises a delivery container suitable to deliver multiple items that require storage at different temperatures for the duration of the delivery. The delivery container may be a cube or a rectangular prism constructed of an insulating material. The delivery organization may position a central panel in the delivery container to separate two compartments of the delivery container, each compartment to be cooled to a different temperature than the other. The delivery organization determines an appropriate coolant for each compartment based on heat transfer requirements of the compartment and positions the coolant in the bottom of each respective compartment. A panel is placed over each coolant and the items are placed in the appropriate compartments of the delivery container. A top panel is positioned on the delivery container to seal the delivery container.
