Abstract
Apparatus to control device temperature includes a thermal head fluid path in thermal contact with the device, a pump assembly, a temperature sensor in communication with a controller, and first, second and third valves operable in response to the controller wherein the fluid path receives thermal transfer fluid from a combined path and outputs it to the pump assembly, the pump assembly outputs the fluid to a first, a second and a third path, all connected to the combined path wherein the first path is in thermal contact with a heat assembly and the second path is in thermal contact with a cooling assembly, the temperature sensor senses a temperature of the fluid path, and the first, second and third valves are disposed in the first, second and third paths to control fluid flow therethrough, respectively.
