NOVELTY - Apparatus comprises thermal energy battery (10) configured to release refrigerant at/above pre-selected trigger temperature comprising a composite having sorbent, and a substrate material incorporating sorbent composition, a containment material encasing composite and configured to rupture and/or enable release of refrigerant through it when internal battery pressure reaches a threshold pressure outside the battery; and thermal conduction unit in thermal contact with battery and configured for directing thermal energy between battery and temperature sensitive components (22, 24, 26, 28).    USE - As an apparatus for cooling at least one temperature sensitive components to achieve or maintain a selected temperature or operating temperature range of a temperature sensitive components (claimed) such as electronic and computer system components comprising microprocessors, memory chips, graphics cards, hard drives, transistors, power supplies and/or other computer electronic components used in vehicles or in guidance systems of missiles, rockets, smart bombs or unmanned attack or surveillance equipment.    ADVANTAGE - The apparatus provide effective cooling of temperature sensitive components and is suitable where recharging of the battery for continued cooling output is not required. The thermal energy battery provides thermal control to temperature sensitive windows that use window pane material that is maintained below high temperatures that cause the material to optically darken, deform, crack or otherwise deteriorate.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An apparatus for cooling at least one temperature sensitive components to achieve or maintain a selected temperature or operating temperature range of a temperature sensitive component, comprises a thermal energy battery (10) configured to release refrigerant at or above a pre-selected trigger temperature having a composite comprising a sorbent having ammonia, water, alcohol, amine or a fluorocarbon refrigerant absorbed on it, and a substrate material incorporating the sorbent composition and comprising woven and/or nonwoven strands, fibers and/or filaments, a containment material encasing the composite and configured to rupture and/or enable release of the refrigerant through it when internal battery pressure reaches a threshold Delta P from the pressure outside the battery; and thermal conduction unit in thermal contact with the thermal energy battery and configured for directing thermal energy between the battery and at least one temperature sensitive components (22, 24, 26, 28). INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) heat sensitive assembly comprising at least one heat sensitive components; a thermal energy battery; and thermal conduction units;    (2) method of cooling a heat sensitive component comprising: providing a thermal energy battery configured to release refrigerant at or above a pre-selected trigger temperature; providing thermal conduction units in thermal contact with the thermal energy battery and at least one temperature sensitive components and configured for directing thermal energy between them; directing heat from the heat sensitive component to the composite and desorbing refrigerant from it and increasing internal battery pressure to reach a threshold Delta P, and releasing refrigerant from the composite by cooling the battery composite; and directing cooling from the battery to the heat sensitive component via the thermal conduction unit; and    (3) a thermal energy battery for cooling at least one temperature sensitive components comprising: a substrate comprising a sorbent and a refrigerant adsorbed on it; a containment material encasing the substrate and configured release the refrigerant when internal pressure of the battery exceeds the external pressure on the battery by a predetermined amount; and a thermal conductor configured to contact the temperature sensitive components for directing thermal energy between them.
