Abstract
An environmental control assembly for controlling at least one environmental condition of one or more substances, the one or more substances being uncontained or contained within a substance container, the assembly comprising a first enclosure comprising a thermal insulator configured to provide a thermal shield to the substance, a second enclosure comprising at least one deformable environmental control material configured to regulate at least one environmental condition of the substance, wherein the second enclosure at least partially physically contacts with at least one of the substance and the substance container, and a housing at least partially comprising the first enclosure and the second enclosure.
Claims29
An environmental control assembly for controlling at least one environmental condition of one or more substances, the one or more substances being uncontained or contained within a substance container, the assembly comprising:
- a first enclosure comprising a thermal insulator configured to provide a thermal shield to the substance,
- a second enclosure comprising:
- at least one environmental control material configured to regulate the at least one environmental condition of the substance, and comprising a deformable material including a phase change material contained in microcapsules and being configured to conform to the shape of the any one or more substance and substance container;
- and
- at least one deformable surface configured to conform to the shape of the any one or more substance and substance container and encase the one or more substance and substance container, the at least one deformable surface at least partially physically contacts with at least one or more of the substance and the substance container,
- wherein the first enclosure at least partially encases the second enclosure,
- and
- a housing at least partially comprising the first enclosure and the second enclosure, wherein the phase change material microcapsules are thermally self-recharging including thermally self-recharging in a non-freezing ambient environment.
