Abstract
Disclosed is an integrated unit packaged on a vehicle for providing electricity, air-conditioning and heating to a space remote from the vehicle. The unit includes an electric generator system, a ventilation system, a refrigeration cycle system, each of which is powered by the electric generator system, a heater that is also powered by the electric generator system and electrical outlets that are also powered by the electric generator.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a vehicle;
- an electrical generator system comprising an engine and a generator;
- a ventilation system comprising an HVAC duct and supply and return ducts constructed and arranged to be located in a space remote from said vehicle, wherein said supply and return ducts are operatively coupled to said HVAC duct and wherein said HVAC duct comprises an inlet and an outlet;
- a radiator located in said HVAC duct constructed and arranged to circulate heat transfer fluid from said engine;
- a refrigeration cycle system comprising a compressor, an evaporator coil, an expansion valve and a condenser coil, wherein said evaporator coil is located in said HVAC duct and said compressor is powered by said generator;
- a heater located in said HVAC duct, wherein said heater is powered by said generator;
- and
- a blower in said HVAC duct constructed and arranged to circulate air from said return duct, through said HVAC duct and then through said supply duct;
- wherein said electrical generator system, said HVAC duct and said refrigeration cycle system are received by said vehicle.
