Self-Chilling Container

A self-chilling container comprising:

• an outer wall and an inner wall defining at least one adsorption chamber in a space provided between the outer wall and the inner wall, the at least one adsorption chamber adapted to contain adsorbent material in heat transfer contact with at least the inner wall;
• the inner wall further defining at least one cooling chamber adjacent to the at least one adsorption chamber, the at least one cooling chamber being in heat transfer contact with the inner wall;
• at least one inlet disposed at the outer wall for introduction of a gas subliming solid material into the at least one adsorption chamber for adsorption of sublimed gas onto the adsorbent material;
• and
• a valve in communication with the at least one adsorption chamber for controlled release of the gas from the at least one adsorption chamber.
