Conveying and storage device for thermosensitive products
First Claim
1. Conveying and storage device for thermosensitive products, comprising a storage chamber, at least one Peltier element disposed adjacent one wall of said storage chamber for controlling the temperature within said storage chamber, and a plurality of hollow tubular heat-conducting members disposed adjacent said at least one Peltier element and defining said one wall of said storage chamber, wherein said plurality of hollow tubular heat-conducting members are prismatic in cross section and arranged in side-by-side relation between said storage chamber and said at least one Peltier element, thereby to define a substantially uniplanar heat-conducting surface facing into said storage chamber for maintaining a substantially uniform temperature within said storage chamber.

Abstract
A conveying and storage device for thermosensitive products is disclosed wherein one or several Peltier elements are provided for temperature control of the storage chamber, tubular heat-conducting members or a one-piece heat-conductive molding being provided on the plate of the Peltier element or elements on the side of the storage chamber, and wherein the plate of the Peltier element or elements on the housing side is constituted by finned heat-exchange members. For the purpose of a maximally homogeneous heat removal and supply within the storage chamber, the tubular heat-conducting members, (3), forming in direct mutual contiguousness the inside of the storage chamber (2), are hollow molding of a readily heat-conducting material, or the one-piece heat-conductive molding (17) forming the inside of the storage chamber (2) is of a readily heat-conducting material.
