Method and system for thermal cooling of an enclosure

A mitigation and warning system, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory operably coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions to cause the processor to perform:
• detecting an enclosure temperature via an enclosure temperature probe;
• and
• activating, via a controller, a thermoelectric device when the enclosure temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold temperature to transfer heat between an enclosure and a phase change material (PCM) to cause the PCM to change phase and cool the enclosure.

A thermal cooling apparatus, the apparatus comprising:

• a phase change material (PCM) contacting a heat sink;
• a thermoelectric device connected to the heat sink for thermally activating the PCM to change a phase;
• and
• a controller configured to perform:
• detecting an enclosure temperature via an enclosure temperature probe;
• and
• activating, via a controller, the thermoelectric device when the enclosure temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold temperature to transfer heat between an enclosure and a phase change material (PCM) to cause the PCM to change phase and cool the enclosure.
