Abstract: A insulation system for providing temperature control of a surface includes a flexible heating element, conformable to the surface. Insulating material is disposed adjacent to the heating element. Circuitry is provided for sensing the temperature of the surface. A monitor senses the temperature of the surface and selectively controls the temperature of the heating element in response to the monitoring process.
