Innovators Demonstrate Self-Cooling I.C. Can™ at Cannex 2001

   
Denver, CO -- The first public demonstration of a revolutionary new self-chilling beverage can is taking place this week at Cannex 2001, the packaging industry forum for can manufacturers and suppliers. Tempra Technology, a global leader in advanced thermal science development, will demonstrate working prototypes of its all new "I.C. Can™" to industry leaders -- and the media -- here this week. Cannex 2001 runs through April 27 at Denver's Colorado Convention Center.

For demonstration schedules, and more information, visit the Tempra display at Cannex booth #839; the exhibit space for CarnaudMetalbox Engineering, a division of Crown Cork & Seal -- the world's leading packaging company -- with whom Tempra is partnered in development and commercialization of the can. I.C. Can™ is also nominated in the exposition's Can-of-the-Year competition for excellence and innovation in design.

The Instant Cool Can (I.C. Can™) features an innovative self-chilling process proven to lower the temperature of its contents by over 30 degrees Fahrenheit in just three minutes. The advanced design uses latest breakthroughs in thermal, insulating and vacuum heat pump technology. I.C. Can™ is about the size of a familiar 500ml beverage can, including the beverage container itself and the integral self-chilling device. Tempra's patented process combines simple evaporation with innovative vacuum power, which draws heat from the beverage into an insulated heat sink chamber. It's totally self-contained with no off-gassing. It's also totally safe, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. The I.C. Can™ uses no carbon dioxide, CFC, HFC or compressed gases.
