Abstract
An air conditioning (“A/C”) system for conditioning the air primarily within a partitioned space in which one or more persons reside within a room or structure, where the A/C system does not condition the air outside of the partitioned space within the room or structure. Such a partitioned space within a room or structure may be a portion of the room or structure in which a sleeping bed is positioned, and a portion of the living space lying over the sleeping bed. The A/C system may replace an existing ceiling fan, and be installed in place thereof. A canopy is draped over the partitioned space to enclose the area being air conditioned.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- mounting an air conditioning (“A/C”) unit in proximity to a ceiling of a room;
- and
- installing a canopy so that the canopy encloses a reduced space area within the room, wherein the canopy is configured relative to the A/C unit so that the A/C unit in operation conditions air contained within the reduced space area enclosed by the canopy.
An A/C system for a room comprising:
- an A/C unit suitable for mounting to a ceiling of a room;
- and
- a canopy suitable for enclosing a reduced space area of the room, wherein during operation the A/C unit cools the air contained within the reduced space area enclosed by the canopy so that a temperature level of the air contained within the reduced space area is less than a temperature level of air residing in the room outside of the reduced space area.
A method comprising:
- substantially enclosing a first volume of a room with a flexible canopy, wherein the first volume is less than an entire volume of the room;
- and
- operating a first A/C unit so that it cools air contained within the first volume of the room to a first temperature that is lower than a second temperature of air contained within a second volume of the room not substantially enclosed by the flexible canopy.
