Abstract

The present invention is directed to a body temperature controlling system comprising at least one member receiving a flow of gas from at least one blower in communication with said at least one member, said at least one member directing said flow of gas onto a wearer thereof.

Claims

1. A body temperature controlling system comprising:

at least one member receiving a flow of gas from at least one blower in communication with said at least one member, said at least one member directing said flow of gas onto a wearer thereof.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein said at least one member is of a suitable size, shape, and/or configuration capable of controlling the wearer'"'"'s body temperature.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein said at least one member is porous.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein said at least one member comprises a frame.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the frame is covered with a porous material.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the porous material is a fabric.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the fabric comprises a mesh-like fabric.

8. The system of claim 4, wherein the frame comprises a 3-dimensional porous material having a generally flexible structure.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the 3-dimensional porous material comprises a 3-dimensional mesh-like material.

10. The system of claim 4, wherein the frame comprises a stand-off material.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein said at least one member is at least one conduit.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein said at least one member is at least one conduit.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein said at least one conduit comprises a plurality of conduits, said conduits having at least one feed conduit and at least one return conduit.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein said at least one conduit is a counter-flow conduit.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein said at least one conduit comprises at least one multilumen conduit.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein said at least one multilumen conduit comprises at least one feed conduit and at least one return conduit.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein said at least one multilumen conduit is co-axial.

18. The system of claim 13 further comprising at least one main feed conduit in communication with said at least one feed conduit and at least one main return conduit in communication with said at least one return conduit.

19. The system of claim 16 further comprising at least one main feed conduit in communication with said at least one feed conduit and at least one main return conduit in communication with said at least one return conduit.

20. The system of claim 11, wherein said at least one conduit is at least one of a panel-shaped conduit, tube, duct, channel, and 3-dimensional porous material.

21. The system of claim 20, wherein the panel-shaped conduit comprises a suitable width so as to occupy any portion of the system.

22. The system of claim 11, wherein at least one of said at least one conduit comprises a wall having any of porosity, openings, and vents.

23. The system of claim 1 further comprising at least one regenerative heat exchanger in communication with said at least one member and said at least one blower.

24. The system of claim 1 further comprising a manifold comprising at least one regenerative heat exchanger and said at least one blower, said manifold in communication with said at least one member.

25. The system of claim 24, wherein said manifold is capable of being worn around the waist.

26. The system of claim 23, wherein said at least one heat exchanger is at least one cross-over heat exchanger.

27. The system of claim 1, wherein said at least one blower comprises a feed blower and a return blower.

28. The system of claim 1 further comprising at least one nebulizer.

29. The system of claim 1 further comprising at least one thermo-electric device.

30. The system of claim 28, wherein said heat exchanger and/or said at least one conduit are in communication with said at least one nebulizer.

31. The system of claim 29, wherein said heat exchanger and/or said at least one conduit are in communication with said at least one thermoelectric device.

32. The system of claim 1 further comprising at least one nebulizer and at least one thermoelectric device.

33. The system of claim 1 further comprising a garment.
