Abstract:
1. A system for containing item(s) or fluid(s) at a temperature either below or above ambient temperature comprising: (a) a container or compartment for holding an item(s) or fluid(s) to be maintained in a cooled or heated condition relative to the ambient temperature and comprising a high impact polystyrene liner; (b) thermal insulation disposed with respect to said container or compartment so as to inhibit the flow of heat into and/or out of the compartment, said insulation comprising a polymeric material having closed cells therein wherein said cells are formed from and/or contain a blowing agent comprising haloalkene blowing agent, wherein said haloalkene blowing agent comprises at least about 50% by weight of trans1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (trans1233zd); and (c) a heat transfer system for adding and/or removing heat from the compartment or container by use of a heat transfer fluid comprising a haloalkene Formula IB: where each R is independently Cl, F or H R′ is (CR Y is CF and n is 0 or 1, wherein the high impact polystyrene liner is compatible with the thermal insulation in that it is substantially free of any visual degradation after five days of thermal cycling with the thermal insulation.
