<p>A thermal barrier enclosure system (10), comprising one or more thermal barriers. The thermal barrier enclosure system (10) is used to control the temperature in a shipping container or a refrigerator. Thermal control is achieved with one or more thermal control barriers comprised of an insulation barrier (20), a temperature sensitive device (22, 60), and a thermal conduit through which energy flows. The combination of the temperature sensitive device and thermal conduit forms a thermal regulator (22) that varies the thermal energy flow as the regulator is operated from its open to its closed position, and vise versa. A thermal control barrier with a reverse acting thermal regulator (60) can also be used to cool an energy storage material (58) and then to thermally insulate that material when the cooling source (23) is removed.</p> |
