ABSTRACT:
A temperature regulating system that includes an enclosure having at least one temperature regulator including a container coupled to the ceiling of the enclosure and having an upper wall, a lower wall and an intermediate section that form a chamber which houses insulation and is filled with water provides a cooling system independent of external power. The insulation is positioned adjacent to the upper wall of the container and includes an upper surface facing the container's upper wall. The area of the upper surface of the insulation is approximately equal to the effective heat transfer area of the interior surface of the container. The insulation forms passages that provide fluid flow communication between the upper and lower walls of the container. With this construction relatively cold water, chilled by cool surroundings, e.g., the night atmosphere, flows downwardly from the region adjacent to the upper wall of the container to below the insulation and toward the lower wall of the container, cools the interior space of the enclosure by heat transfer. Relatively warm water flows upwardly from the region adjacent to the lower wall of the container, above the insulation and toward the upper wall of the container. The thermal characteristics of the insulation and water minimize the penetration of heat from outside during the day.
