Abstract

A self-cooling fluid container (10) includes a fluid chamber (12) for containing the fluid-to-be-cooled. A refrigerant chamber is affixed to the base (13) of the fluid chamber (12) and extends at least partially into the fluid chamber (12). The interior region of the refrigerant chamber (30) is fluidicly isolated from and thermally coupled to the interior region of the fluid chamber (12). A refrigerant dispersal assembly defines a vented dispersal region including a portion adjacent to the refrigerant chamber (30) and separated from the interior of that chamber by a perforatable wall. A cooling activator is adapted to selectively form a fluidic path from the interior of the refrigerant chamber (30) to the dispersal region through the perforatable wall (32), permitting release and expansion of the pressurized refrigerant.
