Thermo King和Envirotainer 准备安全温控空气运输新冠疫苗
鉴于疫苗和药品安全运输对可靠温控空运解决方案的迫切需求， Thermo King®和 Envirotainer 宣布已准备好满足医疗和航空行业日益增长的运输需求。
Thermo King是 Trane Technologies 旗下品牌，是全球智能端到端主动温控运输与储存解决方案的供应商，覆盖整个冷链。Envirotainer是全球药品空运主动冷链解决方案的市场领导者。
2005年，Envirotainer与Thermo King共同开发并生产了首款获得航空主管验证的主动供暖冷空气货箱。这为航空运输药品及其他温度敏感产品树立了新标准。

“当疫苗准备好时，制药市场面临的挑战是通过保持冷链的完整性，尽快将疫苗送达患者手中，”Thermo King欧洲、中东和非洲区总裁Francesco Incalza表示。“我们的智能解决方案可以通过保持温度控制和在运输过程中的各个环节（包括航空运输）跟踪疫苗运输的完整性，帮助解决物流复杂性。我们已准备好满足预期中温度敏感疫苗的全球大规模分发需求。”
Envirotainer首席执行官Michael Berg表示：“一旦疫苗问世，我们知道它们将需要温控空运和全球大量分发。”“我们与Thermo King的长期合作关系，使我们在行业树立了新的标准。我们拥有业内最大的集装箱车队和网络，准备支持快速且安全地将COVID-19疫苗送达全球各地的需要者。”
The active containers were designed for the exacting requirements of the pharmaceutical industry. The one pallet RKN e1 container, using Thermo King Air 100 refrigeration system, and larger RAP e2 container, using Thermo King Air 200 refrigeration system, maintain product temperatures in the +2 to +8 Celsius range, controlled room temperature (+15 to +25 Celsius) range or at any chosen set temperature between ±0 and +25 Celsius in nearly any ambient condition.
Unlike passive containers, the active solutions operate on batteries in-flight, and on the ground, through an electrical connection that maintains the air-cargo container’s inside temperature while charging the batteries. Since their inception, the Envirotainer active containers have performed hundreds of thousands of real life pharmaceutical shipments.
The RAP e2 is the most environmentally friendly temperature-controlled air cargo container available in the market. Delivering pharmaceuticals using the RAP e2 emits 0.9kg CO2e per vial shipped. This can be compared to, for example, a smaller passive solution’s 11.6kg CO2e per vial shipped.
Both RKN e1 using Air 100 refrigeration unit and RAP e2 using Air 200 refrigeration unit are fully certified by both European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Federal Aviation Agency (FAA), and are qualified as Good Distribution Practice (“GDP”) compliant for pharmaceutical transport and storage.
