Abstract (en)

[origin: US4964283A] The present invention relates to an isothermal container with isothermal walls comprising a thermally conducting reservoir (10) for refrigerant product disposed in the upper part of the container; a baffle (3) of thermally insulating material, of a size slightly less than the internal section of the container and having about its periphery an annular space (8) suitable for the free passage of the gas is disposed horizontally below the reservoir (10), at a distance sufficient to delimit in the upper part of the container a region (6) suitable for natural convective heat exchange; the reservoir (10) and the baffle (3) comprising securement and support means (4, 12, 13, 14) in the container (1), characterized in that it computes at least one food compartment (c) disposed in the container, below the plate forming a baffle, of a size substantially less than the internal volume of the container, a space remaining free about the compartment (c) in the container.
