Abstract
Systems, devices and methods for providing temperature control and/or regulation are provided. In some embodiments, the systems and/or methods include at least one endothermic reactant, which can be activated to control a local temperature. In some embodiments, the systems and/or methods include at least one gas producing material, which can allow for the production of gas, which can be trapped for the provision of an insulating volume.
Claims52
An insulating system comprising:
- at least one solvent;
- and
- at least one endothermic reactant, wherein the at least one endothermic reactant is separated from the at least one solvent in a temperature dependent manner such that an increase in temperature results in the at least one solvent solvating the endothermic reactant.

A gas retaining enclosure comprising:
- at least one solvent;
- and
- at least one gas producing reactant, wherein the at least one gas producing reactant is separated from the at least one solvent in a temperature dependent manner, wherein an increase in temperature results in the at least one solvent solvating the at least one gas producing reactant.
(canceled)
A method for regulating a temperature of a desired environment, the method comprising:
- providing at least one solvent;
- providing at least one endothermic reactant, wherein the at least one solvent is separated from the at least one endothermic reactant;
- and
- solvating the at least one endothermic reactant by changing a state of at least one of:
- a) the at least one solvent,
- b) a barrier separating the at least one solvent from the at least one endothermic reactant, or
- c) both a) and b),
- to allow an endothermic reaction to occur, wherein the change in state occurs in response to an increase in temperature and thereby regulate a temperature of a desired environment.
