ABSTRACT:
A heat exchange system for personal use to provide beneficial cooling or warming effects, depending on the operating mode of the system. Included is a supply of replaceable thermal cartridges, each of which is insertable in a fabric holder having wicking properties, the loaded holder or thermal assembly being adapted to engage and conform to a skin area on the individual that is subject to sweating, such as the brow or neck. Each cartridge is constituted by a sealed flexible envelope formed of plastic film, preferably having a metallic layer thereon acting to reflect radiant energy. The envelope encloses a gel or liquid having a high heat capacity whereby when the supply of cartridges is pre-heated or refrigerated, each cartridge is thereby activated. When an activated cartridge is placed in the holder to engage the skin of an individual, it then functions either as a heat sink or heat source with respect thereto.
