Abstract: 1. A method of manufacturing a food or beverage container including a heat exchange unit, characterized in that in prepared container blank, a completely closed end, and opposite open end are created, an opening is made in said completely closed end, then in prepared heat exchange unit blank the closed and open ends are created, after that the heat exchange unit is inserted into the open end of the container with the following securing the open end of the heat exchange unit to the container. 2. The method as defined in claim 1, wherein said securing step includes providing valve means, inserting the valve means into the open end of the heat exchange unit and the opening in the container. 3. The method as defined in claim 1, which includes the further step of charging said heat exchange unit with a medium for generating the heat exchange with said food or beverage. 4. The method as defined in claim 3, wherein said medium provides an endothermic reaction to thereby cool said food or beverage. 5. The method as defined in claim 4, wherein said medium includes carbon dioxide. 6. The method as defined in claim 5, which further includes the step of providing a vessel for said heat exchange unit, inserting carbon particles within said vessel, and inserting carbon dioxide under pressure into said vessel. 7. The method as defined in claim 3, in which said medium generates an exothermic reaction to heat said food or beverage. 8. The method as defined in claim 1, wherein said step of providing a container includes the further step of forming a flange around said opening and mating said open end of said heat exchange unit with said flange. 9. The method as defined in claim 8, wherein said securing step includes providing valve means, inserting the valve means into the open end of the heat exchange unit and into the opening in the container adjacent said flange. 10. The method as defined in claim 9, which includes the further steps of providing a gasket means and positioning the gasket means between the valve and the flange. 11. The method as defined in claim 10, which includes the further step of crimping said valve means by forcing a portion thereof outwardly against the open end of the heat exchange unit thereby sealingly securing said valve means, said container, and said heat exchange unit together. 12. A method of manufacturing a food or beverage container including a heat exchange unit, characterized in that in the prepared container blank for accommodation of said food or beverage, a completely closed end, and opposite open end are created in said container, an opening is made in said completely closed end, said opening being edged by flange, projecting inside of said container blank, where the open and closed ends are made, then the heat exchanger is inserted into container through the said opposite open end and mating the open end thereof with said flange, with the following securing the open end of the heat exchange unit to the container at the flange. 13. The method as defined in claim 12, which includes the further step of inserting particles of an adsorbent material into said heat exchange unit prior to inserting the heat exchange unit into the container. 14. The method as defined in claim 13, which further includes inserting an adsorbing gas under pressure into said heat exchange unit after securing the heat exchange unit to the container. 15. The method as defined in claim 14, wherein said securing step includes providing valve means, inserting the valve means into the open end of the heat exchange unit and the opening in the container. 16. The method as defined in claim 15, which includes the further steps of providing a gasket means and positioning the gasket means between the valve means and the flange before securing the heat exchange into the container. 17. The method as defined in claim 13, wherein said adsorbent material comprises carbon particles. 18. The method as defined in claim 17, which further includes the step of providing powdered metallic particles, mixing said metallic powdered particles with said carbon and inserting said mixture into said heat exchange unit. 19. The method as defined in claim 18, which further includes the steps providing a binder and forming a viscous mixture of said binder, said carbon and said metallic particles. 20. The method as defined in claim 19, which further includes the step of extruding said mixture. 21. The method as defined in claim 19, which further includes the step of producing performs of said viscous material adapted for being received by said heat exchange unit. 22. The method as defined in claim 17, wherein said adsorbing gas is carbon dioxide. 23. The method as defined in claim 22, wherein said adsorbent material comprises carbon particles. 24. The method as defined in claim 23, which further includes the step of providing powdered metallic particles, mixing said metallic powdered particles with said carbon and inserting said mixture into said heat exchange unit. 25. The method as defined in claim 24, which further includes the steps providing a binder and forming a viscous mixture of said binder, said carbon and said metallic particles. 26. The method as defined in claim 25, which further includes the step of extruding said mixture. 27. The method as defined in claim 26, which further includes the step of producing performs of said viscous material adapted for being received by said heat exchange unit. 28. The method as defined in claim 23, which includes the further step of cooling said heat exchange unit prior to inserting said carbon dioxide gas into it. 29. The method as defined in claim 28, wherein said cooling step includes first and second cooling steps followed by first and second carbon dioxide inserting steps respectively. 30. The method as defined in claim 23, which includes the further step after inserting said carbon dioxide into said heat exchange unit of increasing pressure in said heat exchange unit to a predetermined level.
