Abstract:
Standalone and self-contained cooling systems using compressed liquid and/or gas COcontainers positioned in an insulated or non-insulated vessel encompassing a container which is either vertically positioned in an upright or an upside-down position.The liquid and/or gas COcoolant is then released into a capillary system or flow metering system to allow the COto enter a second body to where the COcoolant properties may be leveraged. The second body includes, by way of example, a plate, a cushion, a spot treatment pad for a person's muscle, or a cooler.The temperature is controlled by a metering COreleasing system encompassing an electronic control device which sends alerts when pre-defined thresholds are exceeded.The invention's metering COreleasing system may be triggered by an electronic or a thermostatic valve or may be triggered manually or by an electronic solenoid.
