Abstract

Method for monitoring thermal performance of temperature-controlled transport container. External temperature sensor is provided for measuring ambient temperature of container and internal temperature sensor is provided for measuring internal temperature. Ambient and internal temperature are measured and recorded while passing through first interior temperature range during first time period, and ambient and interior temperature are measured and recorded while passing through second interior temperature range during second time period. The phase change temperature is in first temperature range, and second temperature range is above or below the first temperature range. Thermal conductivity of the insulation layer is calculated based on temporal change of interior temperature relative to ambient temperature while passing through second temperature range, and subsequently enthalpy of phase change material is calculated based on temporal change of interior temperature relative to ambient temperature while passing through first temperature range and based on thermal conductivity of insulation layer.
