An extended, box-like, metal, industrial size, insulated container (1/101, two embodiments disclosed, FIGS. 1-1G & FIGS. 2A-2D) including a rigid, structural framework (12/13) for safely and reliably transporting and/or storing relatively large quantities of temperature sensitive items (food, medical supplies, ice, human corpses, etc.) over a long distance (e.g., from an on-shore food center to an offshore platform) and/or for a substantial period of time (7+days), useful for such delivery/storage and in emergencies, disasters, etc. The container includes at its ends a structurally protected, enclosed equipment section (2/102), which includes all operating machinery (e.g. compressor, motor, fuel tank, control mechanisms, etc., in isolated sub-compartments) and associated equipment, and a freezer/cooler section (3/103A-103B) for the temperature sensitive items. The second embodiment includes two, separate, freezer and cooler sections (103A/103B) with separate, side doors (105A/105B). An escape structure (FIGS. 3A & 3B) on the lock latch is included on the access door(s) for escape of an occupant who becomes locked in. Many other, innovative safety features are disclosed, along with innovative use methodologies (FIGS. 4 & 5).

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A transportable, self-contained refrigeration system, comprising:a transportable container having a structural framework including at leastfour, vertically and laterally spaced, longitudinally extending, horizontally disposed, side, structural beams,four, longitudinally and laterally spaced, vertically disposed, corner, end beams, andfour, vertically and longitudinally spaced, laterally extending, horizontally disposed, end beams,all of said beams being fixedly joined together at at least near their ends forming a rigid, structurally strong framework defining an extended, box-like configuration having two ends, said container having in its interior at least two sectionsan enclosed, equipment section located at one end of said framework completely within said box-like configuration and being substantially enclosed by walls with associated access door panels allowing access into said equipment section, andat least one, refrigerated, storage compartment section longer than said equipment section located at the other end completely within said box-like configuration, said refrigerated storage section including at least one access door into it of a size allowing a person to walk through, but being, otherwise enclosed, said refrigerated storage section being insulated providing an insulated interior having the capability to house, at a substantially lower temperature than the ambient, temperature sensitive materials, including at least one item from the group consisting of food stuffs, medical supplies, ice and human corpses;said equipment section including within its confines at least the following equipmenta refrigeration producing compressor associated with said refrigerated storage compartment to cool its interior,at least one combustible liquid fuel powered motor mechanically interconnected to said compressor to drive it,a combustible liquid fuel tank for supplying liquid fuel to said motor, andcontrol mechanisms associated with said compressor and motor for controlling the motor driven compressor to control the motor to at least turn it "on" and "off" in response to the temperature level sensed in said interior of said storage compartment,all of said equipment being, physically protected by said structural framework located round said equipment section and by said walls and associated access door panels.
