The invention relates to an apparatus for creating an air-conditioned atmosphere in a transportation container (14), having a compressor (3) for generating compressed air, a cooling device (5) for cooling the compressed air and a gas-separation diaphragm (10), which is connected downstream of the compressor (3) and the cooling device (5), for producing a nitrogen-rich gas stream, and a wetting diaphragm (12), with the apparatus permitting controlled wetting of the nitrogen-rich gas stream. The invention also relates to a method for creating an air-conditioned atmosphere in a storage or transportation container, in which method compressed air is generated by means of a compressor, the compressed air is then cooled using a cooling device and a nitrogen-rich gas stream is produced from the compressed air for the purpose of conduction into the transportation container by means of a gas-separation diaphragm.

1. A device for producing an air conditioned atmosphere in a transport container comprising a compressor for creation of compressed air, a cooling device for cooling down the compressed air, a gas separation membrane connected downstream from the compressor and the cooling device to produce a gas flow rich in nitrogen, wherein the gas flow emerging from the gas separation membrane is taken to the transport container in order to maintain a nitrogen-rich, air conditioned atmosphere in the container, a moistening membrane, which is arranged behind the gas separation membrane, wherein the nitrogen flow emerging from the gas separation membrane is led through the moistening membrane and laden with moisture by the moistening membrane. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the cooling device is arranged entirely in the transport container. 3. The device of claim 2, wherein the cooling in the cooling device occurs by heat exchange with a current of cool air and the cooling device. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein the gas separation membrane has a multiway valve upstream from it to separate the flow of compressed air. 5. The device of claim 4, wherein the multiway valve divides the compressed air into two partial streams, a first one of which is taken to the gas separation membrane and a second one of which is taken to the moistening membrane at the same time. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein compressed air produced by the compressor flows through the moistening membrane in addition to the nitrogen flow at the secondary side and the humidity is removed from the compressed air in the moistening membrane (12) and passed on to the nitrogen flow. 7. The device of claim 1, further comprising a water separator between the cooling device and the gas separation membrane for removal of the water of condensation, or an air filter for cleaning the compressed air. 8. The device of claim 1, wherein at the outlet of the container there is arranged a pressure maintaining valve, which is connected via an intake device to the compressor, while the intake device can be switched so that the container atmosphere emerging from the pressure maintaining valve is taken to the compressor for production of the compressed air. 9. The device of claim 1, wherein a mixing valve is arranged between the compressor and the cooling device, which divides the compressed air flowing from the compressor into two partial streams, one partial stream being taken through the cooling device to a mixing point where it is again combined with the second partial stream to adjust a defined temperature. 10. The device of claim 1, wherein the gas separation membrane is followed by a nitrogen regulating valve. 11. The device of claim 4, further comprising an expansion valve arranged between the multiway valve and the transport container. 12. A method of producing an air conditioned atmosphere in a storage or transport container having an internal atmosphere and surrounding air, comprising: producing compressed air with a compressor from the surrounding air or the internal atmosphere;cooling the compressed air with a cooling device;producing nitrogen-rich gas flow from the compressed air with a gas separation membrane;moistening the nitrogen-rich gas flow;conducting the nitrogen-rich gas flow into the container causing the internal atmosphere to overflow;leading the overflowing container atmosphere through a circuit to the air compressor. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein a defined moisture content of the nitrogen-rich gas flow is adjusted by a moistening membrane. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein moisture for loading onto the moistening membrane is obtained from the compressed air. 15. The method of claims 12, wherein the moistening membrane follows the gas separation membrane. 16. The method of claims 12, wherein the cooling device is arranged inside the storage or transport container. 17. The device of claim 1, wherein a heat exchanger is arranged upstream from the gas separation membrane. 18. The device of claim 1, wherein a water trap is arranged upstream from the gas separation membrane. 19. The device of claim 18, wherein the water trap includes a functional bottom and a baffle, and the functional bottom has a circular cross section and is mounted on the gas separation membrane in place of an inlet flange. 20. The device of claim 10, wherein the nitrogen regulating valve is a cascade valve connected directly to the outlet opening of the gas separation membrane. 21. The device of claim 20, wherein the cascade valve has a valve body with internal bore system and internal trim devices and three flange valves. 22. The device of claim 1, wherein the cooling device is an oil/refrigerant heat exchanger.
