TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED MEDICINAL STORAGE DEVICES

摘要

In some embodiments, a medicinal storage container includes: a desiccant unit including external walls forming a gas-impermeable barrier around an interior desiccant region and including an aperture; a heating element; a controller operably attached to the heating element; a cooling unit; a compressor system including at least one evaporator coil unit, the compressor operably connected to the controller; a vapor conduit, the vapor conduit attached to a the desiccant unit at a first end, the vapor conduit attached to the evaporative cooling unit at a second end, the vapor conduit forming an internal, gas-impermeable passageway between the desiccant unit and the cooling unit; a vapor control unit attached to the vapor conduit and operably attached to the controller; and a medicinal storage unit including external walls encircling a medicinal storage region including a temperature sensor operably connected to the controller.

主权项

1. A medicinal storage container, comprising:
a desiccant unit including one or more external walls, the one or more external walls sealed together to form a gas-impermeable barrier around an interior desiccant region, the one or more external walls including an aperture; a heating element positioned within the interior desiccant region; a controller operably attached to the heating element; a cooling unit including one or more external walls, the one or more external walls sealed together to form a gas-impermeable and liquid-impermeable barrier around an interior evaporative region, the one or more external walls including an aperture; a compressor system including at least one evaporator coil unit positioned within the interior evaporative region of the cooling unit, the compressor system operably connected to the controller; a vapor conduit including a first end and a second end, the vapor conduit attached to an external surface of the one or more external walls surrounding the aperture of the desiccant unit at the first end, the vapor conduit attached to an external surface of the one or more external walls surrounding the aperture of the evaporative cooling unit at the second end, the vapor conduit forming an internal, gas-impermeable passageway between the interior desiccant region of the desiccant unit and the interior evaporative region of the cooling unit; a vapor control unit attached to the vapor conduit, the vapor control unit operably attached to the controller; and a medicinal storage unit including one or more external walls encircling a medicinal storage region, the medicinal storage region including at least one temperature sensor operably connected to the controller.
