System for recirculating warm air

A recirculating warm air system, the system comprising:

• an air inflatable product having:
• an inflatable body comprising one or more dividers connecting an upper surface of the inflatable body to a lower surface of the inflatable body, and dividing the inflatable body into a plurality of sections, and wherein each divider defines a plurality of air passages distributed along the divider and configured to pass air between the plurality of sections,
• a first hose formed integrally with a first end of the inflatable body, and
• a second hose formed integrally with a second end of the inflatable body;
• an inflation device including:
• a chamber having:
• a first air inlet configured to draw in air from the ambient environment,
• a second air inlet, and
• an air outlet configured to provide air to an air inflatable product attached thereto,
• an air blower configured to move air from one or more of the first air inlet or the second air inlet towards the air outlet,
• a heating element disposed between the air blower and the air outlet, the heating element configured to heat the air as it passes in proximity to the heating element, and
• a valve configured to selectively pass air into the chamber from one or more of the first air inlet or the second air inlet, wherein the valve moves between:
• a first state that passes air from the first air inlet and restricts air from the second air inlet, and
• a second state that passes air from both the first air inlet and the second air inlet;
• and
• a power control unit configured to provide power control for one or more of the air blower or the heating element;
• wherein the first hose is configured to connect to the air outlet and to receive air from the air outlet and pass air to the inflatable body;
• wherein the second hose is configured to connect to the second air inlet and to pass air from the inflatable body to the chamber;
• and
• wherein the valve restricts airflow from the second air inlet and wherein, responsive to air pressure in the inflatable body reaching a threshold pressure, the valve permits airflow from the second air inlet.
