In some embodiments, a 1320 portable container including an integral controlled evaporative cooling 1355 1330 system includes: a storage region, an evaporative region adjacent to the 105 1310 /' storage region, a desiccant region adjacent to the outside of the container, 4- 1375 I 1380 I = 1385 and an insulation region positioned between the evaporative region and the desiccant region. A vapor conduit with an attached vapor control unit has a first end within the evaporative region and a second end within the 1365 = desiccant region. In some embodiments, the controlled evaporative cool- ing systems are positioned in a radial configuration within the portable container. 110 7 7 - 160 0 1300 1305 131F r - 143 147 1325 1360 1360 [Continued on next page] WO 2018/175110 Al MIDEDIM0111E111 1E111 IIII 13010M11111111111101111111111111111111 GM, KE, LR, LS, MW, MZ, NA, RW, SD, SL, ST, SZ, TZ, UG, ZM, ZW), Eurasian (AM, AZ, BY, KG, KZ, RU, TJ, TM), European (AL, AT, BE, BG, CH, CY, CZ, DE, DK, EE, ES, FI, FR, GB, GR, HR, HU, IE, IS, IT, LT, LU, LV, MC, MK, MT, NL, NO, PL, PT, RO, RS, SE, SI, SK, SM, TR), OAPI (BF, BJ, CF, CG, CI, CM, GA, GN, GQ, GW, KM, ML, MR, NE, SN, TD, TG).
