A downhole tool includes a temperature sensitive component. The temperature of the temperature sensitive component is at least partially controlled by a temperature management system thermally coupled to the temperature sensitive component. The temperature management system may include a cold plate thermally coupled to the temperature sensitive component, a hot plate thermally coupled to the cold plate, and a thermo-electrical converter system thermally coupled to the hot plate and to the body of the downhole tool, wherein the thermo-electrical converter system comprises two membrane electrode assemblies.

1. A downhole tool, comprising: a body;a temperature sensitive component housed within the body;a cold plate thermally coupled to the temperature sensitive component;a hot plate thermally coupled to the cold plate; anda thermo-electrical converter system housed entirely within the body and thermally coupled to the hot plate and to the body of the downhole tool, wherein the thermo-electrical converter system comprises two membrane electrode assemblies. 2. The downhole tool of claim 1, wherein the two membrane electrode assemblies are operable, when an electrical current is applied thereto, to pump an ionizable gas so that heat is moved from one end of the thermo-electrical converter system to another. 3. The downhole tool of claim 2, wherein the ionizable gas includes at least one of: hydrogen, oxygen, and sodium. 4. The downhole tool of claim 1, wherein the cold plate and the hot plate are thermally coupled by a circulation system comprising a conduit, a working fluid, and a pump. 5. The downhole tool of claim 4, wherein the circulation system further comprises at least two valves, and wherein closing the valves and deactivating the pump thermally decouples the hot plate from the cold plate. 6. A downhole tool, comprising: a body;a temperature sensitive component housed within the body;a cold plate thermally coupled to the temperature sensitive component;a hot plate thermally coupled to the cold plate; anda thermo-electrical converter system thermally coupled to the hot plate and to the body of the downhole tool,wherein the thermo-electrical converter system comprises two membrane electrode assemblies, andwherein the cold plate and the hot plate are thermally coupled by a circulation system comprising a conduit, a working fluid, and a pump. 7. The downhole tool of claim 6, wherein the circulation system further comprises at least two valves, and wherein closing the valves and deactivating the pump thermally decouples the hot plate from the cold plate. 8. The downhole tool of claim 6, wherein the thermo-electrical converter system is housed entirely within the body. 9. The downhole tool of claim 6, wherein the two membrane electrode assemblies are operable, when an electrical current is applied thereto, to pump an ionizable gas so that heat is moved from one end of the thermo-electrical converter system to another. 10. The downhole tool of claim 9, wherein the ionizable gas includes at least one of: hydrogen, oxygen, and sodium. 11. A downhole tool, comprising: a body;a temperature sensitive component housed within the body;a cold plate thermally coupled to the temperature sensitive component;a hot plate thermally coupled to the cold plate; anda thermo-electrical converter system thermally coupled to the hot plate and to the body of the downhole tool, wherein the thermo-electrical converter system comprises two membrane electrode assemblies operable, when an electrical current is applied thereto, to pump an ionizable gas so that heat is moved from one end of the thermo-electrical converter system to another. 12. The downhole tool of claim 11, wherein the ionizable gas includes at least one of: hydrogen, oxygen, and sodium. 13. The downhole tool of claim 11, wherein the cold plate and the hot plate are thermally coupled by a circulation system comprising a conduit, a working fluid, and a pump. 14. The downhole tool of claim 13, wherein the circulation system further comprises at least two valves, and wherein closing the valves and deactivating the pump thermally decouples the hot plate from the cold plate.
