Water-filled ice packs are commonly used tools for cold chain transportation, widely applicable for items that require refrigeration during transport such as food, productos farmaceuticos, y muestras biológicas. The inner bag of the water-filled ice pack is made of high-density material, while the outer layer is made of durable plastic, providing excellent sealing and pressure resistance. By filling with water and freezing, water-filled ice packs can effectively maintain a low-temperature environment for transported items.
– Place the water-filled ice pack on a clean surface and locate the water inlet at the top of the ice pack.
– Use clean tap water or distilled water to carefully fill the ice pack through the inlet. It is recommended to fill the ice pack to 80%-90% capacity to avoid overfilling, which could cause the ice pack to burst when frozen.
– Después del llenado, ensure the sealing strip or cap of the water inlet is fully closed to prevent any leakage.
– Gently squeeze the ice pack to check for any leakage. If there is leakage, readjust the sealing strip or cap until it is completely sealed.
– Place the sealed water-filled ice pack flat in the freezer, set at -20℃ or below.
– Freeze the ice pack for at least 12 hours to ensure the water inside is completely frozen.
– Choose a suitable insulated container, such as a VIP insulated box, Caja aislada de EPS, or EPP insulated box, and ensure that the container is clean both inside and out.
– Check the seal of the insulated container to ensure it can maintain a consistent low-temperature environment during transport.
– Remove the pre-cooled water-filled ice pack from the freezer and quickly place it into the insulated container.
– Depending on the number of items to be refrigerated and the transport duration, arrange the ice packs appropriately. It is generally recommended to distribute the ice packs evenly around the container for comprehensive cooling.
– Place the items that need to be refrigerated, such as food, productos farmaceuticos, or biological samples, into the insulated container.
– Use separation layers or cushioning materials (such as foam or sponges) to keep the items from directly contacting the ice packs to prevent frostbite.
– Close the lid of the insulated container and ensure it is sealed properly. For long-duration transport, use tape or other sealing materials to further reinforce the seal.
– Move the insulated container with the water-filled ice packs and refrigerated items onto the transport vehicle, avoiding exposure to sunlight or high temperatures.
– Minimize the frequency of opening the container during transport to maintain internal temperature stability.
– Upon arrival at the destination, promptly transfer the refrigerated items to an appropriate storage environment (such as a refrigerator or freezer).
– After using the water-filled ice pack, check for any damage or leakage to ensure it can be reused.
– Avoid repeated freezing and thawing to maintain the ice pack’s cold retention effectiveness.
– Dispose of damaged ice packs properly to prevent environmental contamination.
