Abstract: A temperature control system is disclosed which supplies a fluid which acts as a temperature effecting agent for the system. The fluid is conveyed through the system with a temperature control means regulating the temperature of the fluid and a fluid control means regulating flow of the fluid through the system. The temperature control means includes a helix of electrically resistant tubing which the fluid passes through. Optimally, the helix is responsive to the application of electrical current such that temperature of the fluid passing through the helix is controlled as a function of the applied current. Preferably, a distribution network forms part of the system and uniformly distributes the fluid in a desired area and/or around an object. The fluid control means can also include a diverting means for diverting fluid not at a desired temperature from the system and an additional means to vary the temperature of the fluid distributed by the system.
