A goods storage system 10 comprises a plurality of compartments 20-60 with doors 21-61 respectively for access to the interior of the compartments. Each compartment is coupled to a cryogenic fluid source (100, Fig. 3) via a control system (110, Fig. 3). The control system (110, Fig. 3) controls flow of cryogenic fluid from the source (100, Fig. 3) to each compartment 20-60 to control the temperature in the interior of each compartment independently of the other compartments. Each compartment may include horizontal rails or runners (22a-22d, Fig. 2) distributed along the height of a compartment to receive totes (150, Fig. 6). The system may have a removable access barrier (160, Fig. 6) coupled to the control system to disable the flow of cryogenic fluid to the compartment when the barrier is moved. The cryogenic fluid may be liquid nitrogen or liquid air. The system is particularly suitable for installing in a vehicle and may be coupled to a computer system with a user interface mounted on or in the vehicle. |
