ABSTRACT:
A passive temperature regulating system (2) for heating and cooling a structure (8) exposed to extreme temperatures. The system comprises a thermally conductive exterior wall, such as a roof (6), having corrugations (16) formed therein. A plurality of plastic containers (4) each have a body portion (30) filled with liquid, such as water, and an elongated heat exchanger portion (28) attached to the exterior wall within one of the corrugations. The heat exchanger portion has a conduit in communication with the body via two tubes (44, 46) so that the water can flow vertically between the heat exchanger portion and the body. When the containers are attached to the exterior wall, the water in the heat exchanger portion exchanges heat with the ambient environment through the exterior wall and the water in the body modifies the temperature of the interior of the structure. In one embodiment, the containers have flexible bellows (60) and are attached to the exterior sidewalls (64) of the structure for either heating or cooling the interior of the structure.
