Abstract
A technique for delivering heating or cooling to a diver includes a suit that includes a water-impermeable outer layer, an insulating layer having a channel extending along a diver-facing surface thereof, and a tube disposed within the channel of the insulating layer. The tube is constructed and arranged for carrying heat-transfer fluid to a proximity of the diver's skin.
Claims23
An apparatus for delivering heating or cooling to a diver, the apparatus comprising a suit, the suit including:
- a water-impermeable outer layer;
- an insulating layer having a channel extending along a diver-facing surface thereof;
- and
- a tube disposed within the channel of the insulating layer, the tube constructed and arranged for carrying heat-transfer fluid to a proximity of the diver's skin and recessed within the channel for protecting the diver's skin from concentrated pressure when filled with the heat-transfer fluid.
