1. A housing for transporting a generally cylindrical canister configured to store at least one of a pressurized gas and a pressurized liquid, the housing comprising: a first housing section; a second housing section movably coupled to the first housing section, the second housing section movable with respect to the first housing section from a first operating condition to a second operating condition, the first housing section and the second housing section at least partially define a generally cylindrical volume having a boundary defined by the housing in the first operating condition; a heat transfer element coupled to at least one of the first and the second housing sections to define at least a portion of the boundary of the generally cylindrical volume, and the heat transfer element operable to transfer heat between the heat transfer element and the canister, wherein the canister is generally fixed from movement with respect to the first and the second housing sections when the second housing section is in the first operating condition and the canister is positioned in the generally cylindrical volume, and wherein the canister is movable with respect to the first and the second housing sections and configured to be removed from the generally cylindrical volume when the second housing section is in the second operating condition; wherein the generally cylindrical volume defines a longitudinal axis, wherein the second housing section is movably coupled to the first housing section such that the second housing section pivots about a pivot axis with respect to the first housing section, and wherein the pivot axis is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the generally cylindrical volume.
