Abstract
A mobile cooling apparatus is provided that may be quickly deployed to cool an area. The apparatus is preferably self-contained or substantially self-contained. The apparatus can be either a dedicated trailer with a conventional draft vehicle or a vehicle itself. The apparatus creates an evaporatively cooled volume of air with fine entrained water droplets suspended therein. The apparatus transfers the cooling suspension to an area to be cooled proximate the apparatus.
Claims20
A mobile trailer adapted to cool an area proximate thereto, said trailer comprising:
- a wheeled carriage supporting a phlenum having a plurality of substantially impermeable sides and at least two substantially permeable sides bounding an internal mixing chamber;
- a plurality of misters proximate one of said substantially permeable sides, each of said misters adapted to selectively emit fine droplets of water and means for selectively supplying and routing water to each of said misters for subsequent emission therefrom proximate said mixing chamber;
- and,
- a plurality of fans located oppositely from said plurality of misters on said other permeable side, said fans adapted to selectively create a turbulent airflow to move said emitted water droplets into said phlenum and through said phlenum to form a suspension and to expel said suspension exteriorly to thereby cool the area proximate said trailer.
A mobile trailer adapted to cool a proximate area, said trailer comprising:
- a wheeled carriage supporting a phlenum having a plurality of substantially impermeable sides and at least two substantially permeable sides bounding an internal mixing chamber;
- a plurality of misters proximate one of said substantially permeable sides, each of said misters adapted to selectively emit fine droplets of water into said phlenum and means for selectively supplying and routing water to each of said misters for subsequent emission therefrom;
- a plurality of fans located oppositely from said plurality of misters on said other permeable side, said fans adapted to selectively create a turbulent airflow to move said emitted water droplets from interiorly of said phlenum exteriorly of said phlenum to thereby cool the area proximate;
- and,
- power generation means for supplying power to selectively operate said fans and to operate said means for supplying and routing water.
A mobile cooling apparatus adapted to cool an area proximate thereto, said apparatus comprising:
- means for producing an airborne mist proximate one side of said apparatus;
- a mixing chamber associated with said apparatus and proximate said misting means;
- and,
- means for combining said airborne mist with a large quantity of turbulent air in said mixing chamber to create a suspension in said mixing chamber and subsequently transferring said suspension from said mixing chamber to the area proximate said apparatus to thereby cool the area.
