Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2177849A1] Container for storing articles at a predetermined temperature, comprising heat insulated walls (9), as well as a Peltier element (1) which, under control of a control module (2), can he energized by a battery (3) in order to collect or emit heat from/to the inside of the container. The Peltier element is connected, via a heat spreader (4), to one or more heat pipes (5) extending through at least one of said insulating walls (9) which is connected to outside means for emitting or collecting heat to/from the outside environment of the container, as an outside container frame (6) or a part of such frame and/or a heat conducting foil or coating (7), applied on the outside of at least one of said insulating walls (9). The container, moreover, may comprise photovoltaic means (8) outside the container, arranged for converting light into electric energy which can be fed to said Peltier element.
