Résumé : The thermochemical storage based on the solid-gas sorption process is used in a temperature-controlled transport container. The principle is based on the coupling of a liquid-to-gas phase change of a natural fluid (ammonia) and a reversible reaction between this gas and a reactive solid. It allows producing a controlled refrigeration effect, offering a stand-alone solution (container) for transport maintaining the cold chain requirements. This article presents the principle of the liquid/gas sorption and the results of the thermal performance tests carried out on standalone isothermal containers for different temperature ranges. This solution allows to transport heat-sensitive products between +2 °C and +8 °C or between 0 °C and +4 °C or below -18 °C. Depending on the outdoor temperature profile, the required temperature, the door openings and the thermal inertia of the products, the autonomy of the container varies from 8 to 48 hours.
