An air conditioning unit for use in the cooling of persons comprising:

• a fan means for blowing air in a direction including a) a frame, b) an electric motor mounted on said frame, c) a fan blade operably connected with said motor and rotatable thereby for moving air, d) a power source operably connected with said motor for actuation thereof, and e) a switch means operably connected between said power source and said motor for controlling the actuation of said motor;
• a flexible element attached to said fan means and adapted to be worn around a back of a user's neck so as to suspend said frame in a position whereby the direction of the air moved by said fan means is against the neck area;
• and
• a foam pad positioned in front of the user's neck which is moistened to cooperate with said moving air to provide evaporatively cooled air blown by said fan means to the user's neck and head, said foam pad including a second flexible element to which said foam pad is attached whereby said second flexible element is worn around a back of the neck of the user to adjustably mount said foam pad between said fan means and the user's neck.
