Integrated soldier cooling.

Summary

The paper describes an innovative technology concept that would combine mesoscale-cooling components with an advanced fuel cell to provide effective, lightweight, long-duration cooling for individuals wearing protective clothing. The mesoscale-cooling device is based on a unique application of flexible cooling chips developed by the University of Illinois, each containing a miniature vapour-compression cycle system placed on a vest and held next to the body for conductive cooling.
