1. A portable dynamic temperature regulating device for use in association with a portable temperature-controlled container, comprising:
at least one PCM (phase change material) heat source, such that the at least one conditioned PCM heat source is in a liquid state above its freezing temperature and is disconnected from an external heat source before use;
at least one PCM heat sink, such that the at least one conditioned PCM heat sink is in a solid state below its melting temperature and is disconnected from an external cooling source before use;
at least one heat source conduit with working heat exchange fluid therein in thermal communication with the at least one PCM heat source, the at least one heat source conduit being operably connected to the temperature-controlled container;
at least one heat sink conduit with working heat exchange fluid therein in thermal communication with the at least one PCM heat sink, the at least one heat sink conduit being operably connected to the temperature-controlled container;
whereby the working heat exchange fluid in the at least one heat source conduit and the working heat exchange fluid in the at least one heat sink conduit are each simultaneously available to be connected to the temperature controlled container;
a portable housing having the at least one PCM heat source, the at least one heat source conduit, the at least one PCM heat sink and the at least one heat sink conduit housed therein; and
a control system for controlling the selective connection with the working heat exchange fluid in the at least one heat source conduit and the working heat exchange fluid in the at least one heat sink conduit to dynamically regulate the temperature in the portable temperature-controlled container.
