Abstract
A fan assembly is described comprising a refrigeration system, an airflow generator and a condensation collector. The refrigeration system comprises a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger. The airflow generator is for generating an airflow over the second heat exchanger, and the condensation collector is for collecting condensate that forms on the second heat exchanger.
Claims19
A fan assembly comprising:
- a main body;
- a refrigeration system comprising a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger being located above the first heat exchanger;
- an airflow generator for generating an airflow over the second heat exchanger;
- a filter assembly for filtering the airflow, the filter assembly surrounding the second heat exchanger and comprising a seal for sealing the filter assembly against the main body;
- and
- a condensation collector for collecting condensate that forms on the second heat exchanger, wherein the condensation collector comprises a tray located between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and downstream of the seal, the tray being removable from the main body by first removing at least a part of the filter assembly from the main body, wherein the first heat exchanger is an evaporator and the second heat exchanger is a condenser.
