Claim:
1. A heat exchange system comprising: a heat exchanger having a housing and a heat exchange surface configured to thermally couple to a subject of heat exchange, wherein the housing defines an outer surface spaced apart from the heat exchange surface; a magnetic element, a ferrous element, or both, positioned within the housing, such that a coupling agent having a complementary magnetic element, ferrous element, or both, can interact with the magnetic element, the ferrous element, or both, positioned within the housing; and a coupling agent configured to magnetically couple to the heat exchanger housing, wherein the coupling agent comprises a construct configured to couple the heat exchanger to a mounting surface and immobilize the heat exchanger in place over a subject of thermal exchange; wherein the construct comprises an encagement structure having a topside generally disposed in a horizontal plane and one or more vertical spacers downwardly extending from the topside, the topside and the vertical spacer(s) generally defining an area for receiving the housing, and a retention element disposed on the one or more vertical spacers for interacting with a corresponding retention element on a mounting surface; and wherein the topside of the coupling agent matingly engages the topside of the housing, such that the coupling agent being secured to the mounting surface via the retention elements immobilizes the heat exchanger.
