Thermal sleeve for manipulating heat transfer

1. A system for manipulating heat transfer, the system comprising:

a thermal sleeve comprising a paraffin wax layer adjacent a copper layer;

a vessel comprising a one-way valve and an outer wall disposed about an inner wall, wherein:

the inner wall defines a reservoir configured to contain a liquid;

the inner wall and the outer wall define a gap therebetween; and

the gap is sized to accommodate the thermal sleeve; and

the one-way valve is disposed in the gap; and

the one-way valve opens as the thermal sleeve is inserted into the gap and closes, sealing off the gap, as the thermal sleeve is removed from the gap;

a lid configured to couple to a top portion of the vessel and further configured to open to facilitate adding the liquid to the reservoir, wherein the lid comprises an aperture sized to accommodate a straw therethrough;

a covering configured to couple to a bottom portion of the vessel and further configured to open to facilitate removal of the thermal sleeve from the gap; and

wherein the thermal sleeve and one-way valve are further configured to create at least a partial vacuum when the thermal sleeve is removed from the gap; and

wherein the thermal sleeve, when installed within the gap, exchanges heat with the liquid.

2. A system for manipulating heat transfer, the system comprising:

a thermal sleeve comprising a first material and a second material; and

a vessel comprising a one-way valve and an outer wall disposed about an inner wall, wherein:

the inner wall defines a reservoir configured to contain the liquid; and

the inner wall and the outer wall define a gap therebetween;

the one-way valve opens as the thermal sleeve is inserted into the gap and closes, sealing off the gap, as the thermal sleeve is removed from the gap; and

a lid configured to open to facilitate adding of the liquid to the reservoir; and

wherein:

the thermal sleeve is further configured to be positioned within the gap; and

the thermal sleeve and one-way valve are further configured to create at least a partial vacuum when the thermal sleeve is removed from the gap.

wood; and

rubber.

6. The system of claim 2 , wherein the system further comprises a covering configured to open to facilitate removal of the thermal sleeve from the gap.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein removing the thermal sleeve from the gap creates a pressure differential between the gap and a surrounding medium.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the covering is the lid.

9. The system of claim 2 , further comprising a gasket configured to create a fluid seal within the gap.

10. The system of claim 2 , wherein the lid further comprises an aperture sized to accommodate a straw therethrough.

11. The system of claim 2 , wherein the first material has a specific heat capacity greater than approximately 2.00 J g −1 K −1 .

12. The system of claim 2 , wherein the second material has a thermal conductivity greater than approximately 200 W/m K.

13. A thermal sleeve configured to exchange heat with a liquid, the thermal sleeve comprising:

at least a first layer and a second layer, wherein:

the first layer is adjacent to the second layer; and

the first layer comprises a first material;

the second layer comprises a second material; and

wherein:

the thermal sleeve has a size and shape configured to fit within a gap of a vessel, the gap being defined by an inner wall and an outer wall of the vessel;

the first layer of the thermal sleeve contacts the inner wall of the vessel when the thermal sleeve is installed within the gap of the vessel; and

the thermal sleeve is further configured to interact with a one-way valve to open the one-way valve as the thermal sleeve is inserted into the gap and close the one-way valve as the thermal sleeve is removed from the gap, the removal of the thermal sleeve creating at least a partial vacuum in the gap.
