[0017] The present invention further relates to a use of a freight container as described above or of an adsorption chamber module as described above for separating CO2 from a supplied air stream.

[0018] The present invention also relates to a method for producing a freight container as described above, comprising the steps:

[0019] - Forming the at least one intermediate frame by means of the four intermediate fittings or pairs of intermediate fittings, the at least two intermediate posts, the at least one intermediate roof cross member and optionally the at least one intermediate floor cross member, in particular analogously to a standard method for producing longitudinal end frames of basic frames of freight containers according to ISO 668, and subsequently

[0020] - connecting the intermediate frame, in particular two of the intermediate fittings or pairs of intermediate fittings, to two floor longitudinal beams of the basic frame, in particular analogous to a standard method for manufacturing basic frames of freight containers according to ISO 668.

[0021] The freight container according to the invention offers the advantage that, by providing at least one intermediate fitting according to ISO 1161 or a pair of intermediate fittings, defined load-bearing points are provided, for example, for various components that must be attached to the outer wall / outside of the freight container. Furthermore, it is possible, if necessary using appropriate support elements such as posts, to stack ISO freight containers of different sizes on top of one another and / or to stack several small ISO freight containers side by side on a larger ISO freight container. The freight container according to the invention can advantageously be manufactured automatically using simple mass production on container production lines.

[0022] The freight container according to the invention can further advantageously be used or employed in an adsorption chamber module and / or a CO2 adsorption device as a chamber module housing for accommodating an adsorbent for adsorbing CO2 from the supplied air stream. The intermediate fittings or pairs of intermediate fittings can be used to connect partition walls in the interior of the freight container in order to provide vacuum-stable chambers for the desorption process.

[0023] In the context of the present invention, the terms "connected" or "connecting" preferably refer to a materially bonded connection. The (ISO) freight container or shipping container according to the invention is designed according to ISO 668. The freight container or ISO freight container has a base frame and corner fittings according to ISO 1161. The corner fittings are materially bonded to the base frame at all container corners or base frame corners. The freight container further has at least one intermediate fitting according to ISO 1161 or at least one intermediate fitting pair consisting of two intermediate fittings according to ISO 1161 that are connected to one another, in particular materially bonded, and which is / are connected to the base frame, in particular materially bonded.

[0024] The basic frame preferably has – similar to standard ISO freight containers – two longitudinal end frames, each with a corner fitting at its four corners. The end frames can each have a roof cross member, a floor cross member, and two corner posts. The basic frame preferably also has two roof longitudinal members and two floor longitudinal members, which connect the two longitudinal end frames to each other at their corner fittings. The basic frame can also have additional floor cross members, which connect the two floor longitudinal members along their longitudinal direction and stiffen a floor of the basic frame or the freight container.

[0025] The at least one intermediate fitting or the at least one pair of intermediate fittings is arranged between two corner fittings. The at least one intermediate fitting or the at least one pair of intermediate fittings is preferably arranged within the external dimensions of the ISO freight container.

[0026] The intermediate fitting or the pair of intermediate fittings is connected to the basic frame, i.e. mechanically and in particular materially connected. In this case, the at least one intermediate fitting or the at least one pair of intermediate fittings is preferably connected to a roof longitudinal member or a floor longitudinal member of the basic frame. More preferably, the at least one intermediate fitting or the at least one pair of intermediate fittings is arranged along a longitudinal direction of the roof longitudinal member or the floor longitudinal member in the roof longitudinal member or the floor longitudinal member. The at least one intermediate fitting or the at least one pair of intermediate fittings can, for example, be arranged between two roof longitudinal member elements of the roof longitudinal member or between two floor longitudinal member elements of the floor longitudinal member and connected to these on opposite sides. Accordingly, the intermediate fitting or the pair of intermediate fittings is preferably directly attached to the basic frame orarranged on the roof longitudinal member or the floor longitudinal member and directly connected to it.

[0027] In this case, the at least one intermediate fitting or the at least one pair of intermediate fittings of the roof longitudinal member can be arranged above the corner fittings of the roof longitudinal member in a vertical direction of the freight container. Alternatively or additionally, the at least one intermediate fitting or the at least one pair of intermediate fittings of the floor longitudinal member can be arranged above the corner fittings of the floor longitudinal member in a vertical direction of the freight container, so that the freight container can be easily placed on uneven ground without resting on it in the middle. The distance between the intermediate fittings or

[0028] Intermediate fitting pairs for the respective corner fittings can, for example, range from greater than or equal to 10 mm to less than or equal to 45 mm in the vertical direction. The intermediate fittings or

[0029] However, intermediate fitting pairs are arranged in the vertical direction essentially at the same height as the corner fittings.

[0030] Preferably, at least two intermediate fittings or pairs of intermediate fittings are provided, of which one intermediate fitting or pair of intermediate fittings is connected to the roof longitudinal member and another intermediate fitting or pair of intermediate fittings is connected to the floor longitudinal member of the same container longitudinal side. The two intermediate fittings or pairs of intermediate fittings are preferably arranged substantially flush one above the other in a vertical direction of the freight container.

[0031] Preferably, at least one intermediate post is provided, which connects the two intermediate fittings or pairs of intermediate fittings to one another. The intermediate post can be constructed analogously to a corner post. In other words, an intermediate post preferably connects one intermediate fitting or pair of intermediate fittings of the floor longitudinal member with an intermediate fitting pair of the roof longitudinal member arranged above it. In the case of pairs of intermediate fittings, the intermediate post can be formed from two interconnected posts, in particular corner posts.

[0032] Advantageously, two additional intermediate fittings or pairs of intermediate fittings can be provided, which are arranged on the roof longitudinal member and the floor longitudinal member of an opposite longitudinal side of the container and are connected to each other by means of at least one additional intermediate post. The two intermediate fittings or pairs of intermediate fittings of the roof longitudinal members and the two intermediate fittings or pairs of intermediate fittings of the floor longitudinal members are preferably arranged substantially flush with each other in a transverse direction of the freight container.

[0033] It is advantageous if at least one intermediate roof cross member is provided, which connects the two intermediate fittings or pairs of intermediate fittings of the longitudinal roof members. The intermediate roof cross member can be constructed analogously to a roof cross member of the end frame. In the case of intermediate fitting pairs, the intermediate roof cross member can be formed from two interconnected cross members, in particular roof cross members.

[0034] Furthermore, it is advantageous if at least one intermediate floor cross member is provided, which connects the two intermediate fittings or pairs of intermediate fittings of the floor longitudinal members. The intermediate floor cross member can be constructed analogously to a floor cross member of the end frame. In the case of intermediate fitting pairs, the intermediate floor cross member can be formed from two interconnected cross members, in particular floor cross members.

[0035] Here, the four interconnected intermediate fittings or pairs of intermediate fittings, the at least two intermediate posts, the at least one intermediate roof cross member, and optionally the at least one intermediate floor cross member can at least preferably form an intermediate frame. The intermediate frame can, in particular, be designed analogously to one or two interconnected longitudinal end frames of the basic frame. This advantageously allows longitudinal end frames of basic frames of freight containers to be manufactured inexpensively as standard according to ISO 668 and installed or used multiple times in the previously described design, e.g., by welding.

[0036] Advantageously, at least one or exactly one additional intermediate frame is provided. However, it may also be advantageous if exactly two, exactly three, or exactly four additional intermediate frames are provided.

[0037] Accordingly, a total of exactly one, exactly two, exactly three, exactly four or exactly five intermediate frames is / are preferably provided.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, a partition wall is arranged on at least one, in particular on exactly one, exactly two, exactly three, exactly four or exactly five of the intermediate frames, which partition wall is connected to the respective intermediate frame and divides an interior of the freight container into separate chambers.

[0039] The partition wall can preferably comprise two interconnected corrugated sheet elements or trapezoidal sheet elements. In this case, in particular

[0040] - wave crests of one corrugated sheet element are connected to wave troughs of the other corrugated sheet element or trapezoidal crests of one trapezoidal sheet element are connected to trapezoidal valleys of the other trapezoidal sheet element, or

[0041] - Ribs of one corrugated sheet element or trapezoidal sheet element form an angle of substantially 90° to the ribs of the other corrugated sheet element or trapezoidal sheet element.

[0042] This measure makes it possible to provide several separate chambers with rigid walls, which can be used, for example, as adsorption-desorption chambers in a CO2 adsorption device for separating CO2 from an incoming air stream. The pressure-resistant design is essential because, during the desorption process, high forces act on the chamber walls due to the negative pressure in the chambers.

[0043] Preferably, the intermediate fittings or the pairs of intermediate fittings, in particular the intermediate frame(s), are spaced from the corner fittings, in particular one of the longitudinal end frames of the basic structure, such that a shorter freight container and / or several shorter freight containers can be stacked on the freight container in accordance with ISO 668. In other words, the intermediate fittings or the pairs of intermediate fittings or the intermediate frame(s) have a grid dimension of preferably essentially 8 feet, 10 feet, 20 feet, 40 feet or 45 feet in the longitudinal direction of the freight container from the corner fittings or one of the longitudinal end frames. This allows ISO freight containers of different sizes to be stacked on top of one another and / or several small ISO freight containers to be stacked next to one another on a larger ISO freight container.

[0044] The freight container preferably has - analogous to standard ISO freight containers - a base plate as well as a roof plate and side walls, in particular made of corrugated or trapezoidal sheet metal.

[0045] During the manufacture of the freight container, at least one intermediate frame is first formed or manufactured using the four intermediate fittings or pairs of intermediate fittings, the at least two intermediate posts, the at least one intermediate roof cross member, and optionally the at least one intermediate floor cross member. A standard process for manufacturing the longitudinal end frames of basic frames for freight containers according to ISO 668 can preferably be used here. Subsequently, the finished intermediate frame, or two of the intermediate fittings or pairs of intermediate fittings of the finished intermediate frame, are connected to two longitudinal floor members of the basic frame. A standard process for manufacturing basic frames for freight containers according to ISO 668 can also be used here.

[0046] Preferably, in the connecting step, the two intermediate fittings or intermediate fitting pairs of the intermediate frame are first connected to a longitudinal end of two floor longitudinal support elements and then to a longitudinal end of two further floor longitudinal support elements on one or their opposite side, so that the two intermediate fittings or intermediate fitting pairs are arranged along a longitudinal direction of the respective floor longitudinal support in the floor longitudinal support between the floor longitudinal support elements. The CO2 adsorption device according to the invention is designed or configured to separate CO2 from a supplied air stream by means of an adsorption-desorption process, i.e. a cyclically carried out or performed adsorption-desorption process. The basic functioning of the CO2 adsorption device or of the cyclically carried out or performed adsorption-desorption process can, for example,analogous to WO 2020 / 212146 A1 mentioned above.

[0050] For this purpose, the adsorption chamber module comprises a previously described freight container according to the invention, which functions as a chamber module housing. An adsorption-desorption chamber is arranged or configured in the freight container, i.e., within the external dimensions of the freight container. The adsorption-desorption chamber is configured or configured to accommodate an adsorbent for adsorbing the CO2 from the supplied air stream. A (suitably functionalized) adsorbent for adsorption, i.e., for binding or filtering the CO2 from the supplied air stream, e.g., in the form of CO2 adsorption modules, can be arranged in the adsorption-desorption chamber.

[0051] The adsorption chamber module further comprises an inlet channel for supplying the air flow into the adsorption-desorption chamber and an outlet channel for discharging the CO2-reduced air flow from the adsorption-desorption chamber. The inlet channel and the outlet channel are preferably arranged in the freight container, i.e., within the external dimensions of the freight container.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the separate chambers in the interior of the freight container are each designed as adsorption-desorption chambers, each with an inlet channel for supplying the air flow into the respective adsorption-desorption chamber and an outlet channel for discharging the CO2-reduced air flow from the respective adsorption-desorption chamber. In other words, the partition walls arranged and attached to the intermediate frames in the freight container form several adsorption-desorption chambers, which can be used in parallel and / or sequentially for adsorption and / or desorption.

[0053] An adsorbent is preferably arranged in the adsorption-desorption chamber or the adsorption-desorption chambers.

[0063] Fig. 3 is a flow chart of a method for producing a freight container according to the invention.

[0064] Fig. 1 shows an adsorption chamber module according to the invention, which is designated in its entirety by reference number 10. The adsorption chamber module 10 is designed to be used in a CO2 adsorption device (not shown) for separating CO2 from a supplied air stream by means of an adsorption-desorption process.

[0065] For this purpose, the adsorption chamber module 10 has a freight container 12 according to the invention, which functions as a chamber module housing 12.

[0066] The freight container 12 is designed according to ISO 668 and has a length of 40 feet. The freight container 12 also has a base frame 14.

[0067] The basic frame 14 has - analogous to standard ISO freight containers - two longitudinal end frames 16, at each of whose corners a corner fitting 18 according to ISO 1161 is arranged and integrally connected to the basic frame 14. The end frames 16 furthermore each have a roof cross member 20, a floor cross member 22, and two corner posts 24, which connect the four corner fittings 18 to one another. The basic frame 14 further has two longitudinal roof members 26 and two longitudinal floor members 28, which connect the two longitudinal end frames 16 to one another at their corner fittings 18. The basic frame can also have further floor cross members, which connect the two longitudinal floor members 28 to one another along a longitudinal direction 30 of the freight container 12 and stiffen a floor 32 of the basic frame 14 or of the freight container 12.

[0068] According to the invention, the freight container 12 has intermediate fitting pairs 34, each of which has two materially connected intermediate fittings 36 according to ISO 1161. The intermediate fitting pairs 34 are materially connected to the basic frame 14 or the roof longitudinal members 26 and the floor longitudinal members 28 of the basic frame 14. The intermediate fitting pairs 34 are arranged between roof longitudinal member elements 26a of the roof longitudinal members 26 or floor longitudinal member elements 28a of the floor longitudinal members 28 and are materially connected to their ends.

[0069] On each longitudinal member 26, 28, three intermediate fitting pairs 24 are arranged evenly along the longitudinal direction 30. As a result, intermediate fitting pairs 34 of the roof longitudinal members 26 and intermediate fitting pairs 34 of the floor longitudinal members 28 of a same container longitudinal side are arranged in alignment one above the other in a vertical direction 38 of the freight container 12. Furthermore, intermediate fitting pairs 34 of a roof longitudinal member 26 or floor longitudinal member 28 and intermediate fitting pairs 34 of the opposite roof longitudinal member 26 or floor longitudinal member 28 are each arranged in alignment with one another in a transverse direction 40 of the freight container 12.

[0070] The freight container 12 also has intermediate posts 42, each of which connects a pair of intermediate fittings 34 of the floor longitudinal member 28 to the intermediate fitting pair 34 of the roof longitudinal member 26 arranged above them. The intermediate posts 42 each have two interconnected posts, which are designed analogously to the corner posts 24 of the end frames 16.

[0071] The freight container 12 further comprises intermediate roof cross members 44, each of which connects two intermediate fitting pairs 34 of the longitudinal roof members 26. The intermediate roof cross members 44 each comprise two interconnected cross members, which are configured analogously to the roof cross members 20 of the end frames 16.

[0072] The freight container 12 further comprises intermediate floor cross members 46, each of which connects two intermediate fitting pairs 34 of the longitudinal floor members 28. The intermediate floor cross members 46 each comprise two interconnected cross members, which are configured analogously to the floor cross members 22 of the end frames 16.

[0073] Here, four interconnected intermediate fitting pairs 36, the two associated intermediate posts 42, the associated intermediate roof cross member 44, and the associated intermediate floor cross member 46 each form an intermediate frame 48. The intermediate frames 48 are designed analogously to two longitudinal end frames 16, which are interconnected. In the illustrated embodiment, the freight container 12 has three intermediate frames 48, which are arranged equidistantly, i.e., at a distance of 10 feet from one another, between the corner fittings 18 and the end frames 16. As can be seen in more detail in the following Fig. 2, this allows several shorter ISO freight containers to be stacked in parallel on the freight container 12.

[0074] Furthermore, the freight container 12 has a partition wall 50 on each intermediate frame 48, which is connected to the respective intermediate frame 48 and divides an interior of the freight container 12 into separate chambers 54. The partition walls 50 have two interconnected trapezoidal sheet elements, in which trapezoidal peaks of one trapezoidal sheet element are connected to trapezoidal valleys of the other trapezoidal sheet element.

[0075] The separate chambers 54 are each designed as adsorption-desorption chambers 54 for accommodating an adsorbent (not shown) for adsorbing the CO2 from the supplied air stream. For this purpose, each adsorption-desorption chamber 54 has an inlet channel (not shown) for supplying the air stream into the respective adsorption-desorption chamber 54 and an opposite outlet channel (not shown) for discharging the CO2-reduced air stream from the respective adsorption-desorption chamber 54.

[0076] Fig. 2 shows a side view of the 40-foot freight container 12 from Fig. 1, on which two smaller 20-foot freight containers 56 are stacked. This is made possible by the intermediate fitting pairs 34 or intermediate frames 48 and their corresponding design or arrangement. As can also be seen from Fig. 2, the intermediate fitting pairs 34 of the floor longitudinal members 28 are arranged in the vertical direction 38 of the freight container 12 above the corner fittings 18 of the floor longitudinal member 28, so that the freight container 12 can be easily placed even on an uneven floor 58 without resting on it in the middle.

[0077] Fig. 3 shows a flow diagram of a method 100 for manufacturing a freight container 12. The method 100 comprises a step of forming 102 the at least one intermediate frame 48 by means of the four intermediate fittings 36 or intermediate fitting pairs 34, the at least two intermediate posts 42, the at least one intermediate roof cross member 44 and optionally the at least one intermediate floor cross member 46, in particular analogous to a standard method for manufacturing longitudinal end frames of basic frames of freight containers according to ISO 668. The method 100 further comprises a step of subsequently connecting 104 the intermediate frame 48, in particular two of the intermediate fittings 36 or intermediate fitting pairs 34 with two

[0078] Floor longitudinal members 28 of the basic frame 14, in particular analogous to a standard method for manufacturing basic frames of freight containers according to ISO 668. If an embodiment comprises an “and / or” connection between a first feature and a second feature, this is to be read such that the embodiment according to one embodiment has both the first feature and the second feature and according to a further embodiment has either only the first feature or only the second feature.
