Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
A cooling suit syxtem, comprising a suit adapted to be worn by a person having a cooling media flow conduit associated therewith, a heat exchanger associated with said suit having a housing, a coolant media inlet connected into said housing from said flow conduit, a coolant media discharge connected from said housing back to said flow conduit downstream of said coolant media inlet; a flexible insert in said housing connected to said inlet and to said outlet and containing a cooling media comprising meltable solid pieces, said insert elastically tightly engaging said pieces, said housing defining a pressurizable space surrounding said insert, a pump for air connected into said housing into the space surrounding said insert to pressurize said space.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
120 words
A cooling suit syxtem, comprising a suit adapted to be worn by a person having a cooling media flow conduit associated therewith, a heat exchanger associated with said suit having a housing, a coolant media inlet connected into said housing from said flow conduit, a coolant media discharge connected from said housing back to said flow conduit downstream of said coolant media inlet; a flexible insert in said housing connected to said inlet and to said outlet and containing a cooling media comprising meltable solid pieces, said insert elastically tightly engaging said pieces, said housing defining a pressurizable space surrounding said insert, a pump for air connected into said housing into the space surrounding said insert to pressurize said space.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
142 words
A cooling suit system, comprising a suit adapted to be worn by a person having a cooling media flow conduit associated therewith, a heat exchanger associated with said suit having a housing, a coolant media inlet connected into said housing from said flow conduit, a coolant media discharge connected into said housing from said flow conduit downstream of said cooling media inlet, a flexible insert in said housing connected to said inlet and said outlet and containing a cooling media comprising multiple solid pieces, said insert elastically tightly engaging said pieces, and means to circulate said coolant from said flow conduit into said heat exchanger in said insert and from said insert back into said cooling media flow conduit, said means comprising a pump disposed in said outlet and having a separate portion supplying air to said heat exchanger housing pressurizable space.
