This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project is to develop a proof-of-concept prototype of a complex compound heating system for divers in polar regions. The proposed heater consists of an innovative design of a compact and lightweight complex compound thermal storage unit which provides a heat output to a liquid circulating garment that is worn by a diver under a wet or dry suit. The proposed project will result in the construction, testing and delivery of a 0.5 to 1 hour capacity complex compound heater demonstration prototype to the National Science Foundation in the six month time period. Under Phase II of the project, an optimized heater for longer time periods (2 to 4 hours) utilizing lightweight materials will be developed, laboratory tested and field tested in conjunction with a liquid circulating garment. The complex compound heater developed can be used by underwater search and rescue personnel and even sport divers in cold water situations. The heater can also be applied to thermal blankets for keeping people warm in situations where electricity is not available such as in disaster areas, refugee situations, mountain rescue and ambulatory services.

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目是为极地地区的潜水员开发一个复杂的复合加热系统的概念验证原型。 所提出的加热器由紧凑且轻质的复合热存储单元的创新设计组成，该复合热存储单元向潜水员在湿或干潜水服下穿着的液体循环服装提供热输出。 该项目将在六个月的时间内建造、测试并向美国国家科学基金会交付一个0.5至1小时容量的复合加热器示范原型。 在该项目的第二阶段，将开发一种使用轻质材料的更长时间（2至4小时）的优化加热器，并结合液体循环服装进行实验室测试和现场测试。 研制的复合加热器可供水下搜救人员使用，甚至可供冷水条件下的运动潜水员使用。 该加热器还可以应用于保暖毯，用于在没有电力的情况下为人们保暖，例如在灾区，难民情况，山区救援和流动服务。
