Abstract
Apparatus for abstracting heat comprises a container charged with a first liquid and with small auxiliary containers free to circulate in the first liquid. Each of the small auxiliary containers is charged with a second liquid. The first and second liquids each have a selected temperature of transformation that facilitates use of the apparatus to heat or cool a substance contacted by the apparatus.
Claims3
A pliable two phase single wall heat transfer device for use in contacting and drawing heat away from a substance, said heat transfer device comprising
- (a) an outer wall circumscribing and enclosing an inner space;
- (b) a plurality of spaced apart hollow fluid tight containers connected to a portion of said wall, extending from said wall into said inner space, and including rounded bottoms to facilitate folding adjacent fluid containers against one another;
- (c) a first heat-exchange composition in said inner space contacting each of said fluid tight containers and comprising a liquid which undergoes a change of state from the liquid phase to the solid phase at a selected temperature of transformation;
- (d) a second heat-exchange composition in each of said hollow containers comprising a liquid which undergoes a change of state from the liquid phase to the solid phase at a selected temperature of transformation.
A method for manufacturing a two phase single wall bidirectional heat transfer device for use in contacting and drawing heat away from a substance, said method comprising the steps of
- (a) providing a first sheet of pliable material;
- (b) forming a pan with said sheet of material, said pan including a peripheral lip extending around said pan;
- (c) charging said pan with a first heat-exchange composition comprising a liquid which undergoes a change of state from the liquid phase to the solid phase at a selected temperature of transformation;
- (d) providing a second sheet of pliable material;
- (e) forming a module matrix with said second sheet of material, said module matrix including a peripheral edge, said matrix including a plurality of modules each with a bottom and an open top;
- (f) placing said module matrix in said pan such that said bottom of each module extends into said first heat-exchange composition;
- (g) administering a second heat-exchange composition to each of said modules comprising a liquid which undergoes a change of state from the liquid phase to the solid phase at a selected temperature of transformation liquid;
- and,
- (h) sealing said first composition in said pan and said second composition in said module matrix.
A pliable two phase single wall heat transfer device for use in contacting and drawing heat away from a substance, said heat transfer device comprising
- (a) an outer wall circumscribing and enclosing an inner space;
- (b) a plurality of spaced apart hollow fluid tight containers connected to a portion of said wall, extending from said wall into said inner space, and including rounded bottoms to facilitate folding adjacent fluid containers against one another;
- (c) a first heat-exchange composition in said inner space contacting each of said fluid tight containers and comprising a liquid which undergoes a change of state from the liquid phase to the solid phase at a selected temperature of transformation;
- (d) a second heat-exchange composition in each of said hollow containers comprising a liquid which undergoes a change of state from the liquid phase to the solid phase at a selected temperature of transformation;
- and,
- (e) a plurality of channels interconnecting pairs of said hollow containers to promote the flow of liquid therebetween.
