Abstract: A heat transfer system having a flexible surface member having a first side and a second side, forming a heat transfer surface, and two or more thermal conduits, spaced apart and extending across a portion of the heat transfer surface, the two or more thermal conduits adapted to receive a thermal media to form a heat source (heating) or heat sink (cooling) across the heat transfer surface. The flexible surface member may have a plurality of edge regions, the two or more thermal conduits extending between edge regions, such as adjacent edge regions or opposing edge regions. The flexible surface member may have a plurality of corner regions, the two or more thermal conduits extending between corner regions, such as adjacent corner regions or opposing corner regions.

Abstract: A heat transfer system with a surface member having a first surface and a second surface, forming a heat transfer surface, and a thermal conduit attached to and spaced across the first surface, the thermal conduit adapted to receive a thermal media to heat or cool the heat transfer surface to heat or cool a body within the heat transfer surface. A method of heating or cooling a body including providing a heat transfer system comprising a surface member having a first surface and a second surface, forming a heat transfer surface, and a thermal conduit attached to and spaced across the first surface, the thermal conduit adapted to receive a thermal media to heat or cool the heat transfer surface, positioning the heat transfer system proximate the body, and supplying heated or cooled thermal media to the heat transfer system to heat or cool the body.
