Refrigeration device uses phase change material for cooling air

A method of operating a cooling device comprising the following steps:

• A providing a cooling device comprising a body with a body exterior that defines one or more enclosed hollow body interiors;
• a condenser coil that has periodic access to an external atmosphere located outside of the body;
• an evaporator coil that is in thermal contact with a reservoir containing a phase-change material, the reservoir is further contained within one of the one or more enclosed hollow body interiors;
• a thermostat that controls the operation of the evaporative and condenser coils as to control when a first phase change occurs in the phase-change material;
• and a pipe that comprises a first pipe section removably coupled to a second pipe section, the pipe further contains an antifreeze fluid that is circulated through the pipe by a pump to indirectly present the antifreeze fluid in a thermally conductive manner to the phase change material, the movement of antifreeze fluid throughout the pipe initiates a second phase change in the phase-changing material;
• wherein the removal of the first pipe section from the body and from the second pipe section places the cooling device into a compact state for storage or when a cooling of the external atmosphere is not required;
• B presenting the condenser coil to an external atmosphere, the external atmosphere being outside of a building structure containing the cooling device;
• C operating for a period of time the evaporative and condenser coils to initiate a first phase change of the phase change material;
• D coupling together the first pipe section to the second pipe section outside of the period of time;
• E activating the pump when the first pipe section and second pipe sections are coupled together;
• and
• G providing an atmospheric cooling effect external to the body through second pipe section that results in an initiating of a second phase change in the phase change material.
