The Personal Cooling System - CBRN Suit provides heat stress relief to operators using CBRN protective suits. Developed by RINI Technologies, the PCS uses patented miniature refrigeration technology to chill water to 72°F. The chilled water then circulates through a Cooling Vest worn beneath the CBRN suit, to actively cool the operator. A Liquid Penetrator is used to pass chilled water through the suit from the PCS to the Cooling Vest. The chilled water in the Cooling Vest pulls heat from the body, releasing the heat to the PCS internal heat exchanger. In this manner, the PCS effectively maintains the core body temperature of the operator. This system cools continuously for several hours using standard military batteries.
