A portable, cooling source is currently being developed under Navy sponsorship to prevent severe heat stress and enhance diver capability during warm water/contaminated water missions. This cooling system uses the absorption and desorption energies from various metal hydride pairs as a compact cooling source for contaminated water diving.
