Housing for a flexible container
An arrangement includes a housing and a flexible container. The flexible container is arranged in the housing and filled with a medicine or another liquid which occurs in a pharmaceutical production process. The housing is at least partially lined with an elastic foam configured to compensate for an increase in volume of the flexible container that occurs upon freezing.
1. An arrangement comprising:
a housing; and
a flexible container,
wherein:
the flexible container is arranged in the housing and filled with a liquid which occurs in a pharmaceutical production process;
the housing is at least partially lined with an elastic foam configured to completely compensate for an increase in volume of the flexible container that occurs upon freezing; and
the housing comprises cover layers made of metal.
2. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the elastic foam has decreasing elasticity with decreasing temperature below a freezing point.
3. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein a hardening of the elastic foam occurs at a temperature between 0 degrees Celsius to −30 degrees Celsius.
4. The arrangement of claim 3 , wherein the hardening is reversible.
5. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein a hardening of the elastic foam occurs at a temperature between −5 degrees Celsius and −25 degrees Celsius.
6. The arrangement of claim 5 , wherein the hardening is reversible.
7. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein a hardening of the elastic foam occurs at a temperature between −10 degrees Celsius and −20 degrees Celsius.
8. The arrangement of claim 7 , wherein the hardening is reversible.
9. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the flexible container is completely surrounded by the elastic foam.
10. The arrangement of claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one attachment for the flexible container,
wherein the flexible container and the at least one attachment are completely surrounded by the elastic foam.
11. The arrangement of claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one attachment for the flexible container; and
a foam block in the housing for receiving the at least one attachment.
12. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the housing is cuboidal.
13. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the liquid is a medicine.
