Envirotainer^® container RKN e1

Designed for extreme requirements of the healthcare industry, the RKN e1 container maintains product temperatures in the +2 to +8 °C range, controlled room temperature (+15 to +25 °C) range or at any chosen set temperature within the operating range of ±0 to +20 °C. The RKN e1 is a certified air cargo ULD (Unit Load Device) ensuring seamless handling throughout the supply chain worldwide. The unit can be carried on board the most common long-haul aircraft types.

Drawing on the benefits of the shape and size of the Envirotainer dry-ice container, the RKN e1 uses a different technology; compressor cooling and electrical heating.

Key features for consistent temperature-control:

• Insulated container shell
• Electrical heating and compressor cooling
• One energy source. Rechargeable batteries that can be recharged at standard AC-power connection points
• Air circulated by the heating/cooling unit is close to the set temperature
• Enhanced air circulation inside the container ensures a low temperature gradient within the cargo space
• Convenient and simple loading for an optimized load thanks to the use of wide doors and spacers on the inside walls
• An easy to use control unit allowing simple operation of the container
• Data logging functionality (RAPID)
• Fully redundant charging, cooling and heating system

Performance data:

• Autonomy running on batteries > 100 h in a typical shipment scenario (dependent on ambient temperature exposure)
• Autonomy running on batteries at extreme conditions minimum 30 h
• Product set temperature range between ±0 to +20 °C (ideal performance at set temperature +5 °C)
• Maintains product temperature from +2 °C to +8 °C at container set temperature +5 °C
• Batteries charged (from 0 to 100%) in 8 h
