Abstract:
1. A method of transport of temperature sensitive products with a cold transport device comprising the steps of: providing a support frame including straps adapted to be strapped to a single human, providing an insulated container with a proximal half and a distal half opposite the proximal end half and defining a cavity that receives temperature sensitive products; coupling the proximal half of the insulated container to the support frame; thermally coupling a Stirling cycle type heat exchanger to the container and the cavity of the container; removing heat from the cavity of the container and expelling it to the ambient environment; monitoring the temperature within the cavity with a temperature sensor; regulating the operation of the Stirling cycle type heat exchanger to control the temperature within the cavity; providing a portable power source to power the Stirling cycle type heat exchanger arranging the support frame, the insulated container, the Stirling type heat exchanger, and the portable power source such that the overall center of mass of the cold transport device is within the proximal half of the insulated container; limiting the capacity of the cavity for receiving temperature sensitive products to substantially maintain the overall weight of the cold transport device to a weight suitable for carry by a single human.
