Abstract
A natural and environmentally friendly cooling system is disclosed. The cooling system comprises an insulating enclosure, a block of ice within the insulating enclosure, a primary coil of tubing contacting the block of ice and beneath the block of ice for transferring fluid, a return coil of tubing beneath the block of ice for transferring fluid, and a grid positioned between the primary coil and the return coil.
Claims29
A cooling system, comprising:
- an above ground insulating enclosure;
- a block of ice within the insulating enclosure;
- a primary coil of tubing contacting the block of ice and beneath the block of ice for transferring fluid;
- a return coil of tubing beneath the block of ice for transferring fluid;
- and
- a grid positioned between the primary coil and the return coil.
A method of air conditioning comprising:
- filling an above ground enclosure with water to be frozen;
- freezing the water to form ice within the enclosure;
- circulating fluid through a first coil adjacent the ice to cool the fluid;
- circulating the fluid to a radiator;
- cooling a building with the radiator;
- and
- returning the fluid from the radiator through a second coil cooled by water melted from the ice.
A cooling system, comprising:
- an enclosure having an above ground insulating layer and adapted for receiving a block of ice;
- a primary coil within the enclosure such that the block of ice rests on the primary coil to cool a fluid flowing through the primary coil;
- a grid beneath the primary coil separating the primary coil and a return coil;
- the return coil positioned along a bottom interior surface of the enclosure such that water from melted ice cools fluid within the return coil.
A method of air conditioning, comprising:
- providing an enclosure having an above ground insulating layer, a primary coil, a drain connected to a bottom interior surface of the enclosure and a return coil beneath the primary coil;
- and
- providing a block of ice.
A cooling system, comprising:
- an above ground base portion;
- a primary coil disposed within the base portion, the primary coil adapted for contacting a block of ice to cool fluid within the primary coil;
- a return coil disposed within the base portion and adapted for transferring fluid.
A cooling system, comprising:
- an insulating enclosure;
- a block of ice within the insulating enclosure;
- a primary coil of tubing adjacent the block of ice for transferring fluid;
- a return coil of tubing adjacent the block of ice for transferring fluid;
- and
- a floor pan for collecting water beneath the grid.
A cooling system, comprising:
- an insulating enclosure;
- a block of ice within the insulating enclosure;
- a primary coil of tubing adjacent the block of ice for transferring fluid;
- a return coil of tubing adjacent the block of ice for transferring fluid;
- and
- a drain connected to a bottom interior surface of the insulating enclosure.
A cooling system, comprising:
- a base portion;
- a primary coil disposed within the base portion, the primary coil adapted for contacting a block of ice to cool fluid within the primary coil;
- a return coil disposed within the base portion and adapted for transferring fluid;
- and
- a floor pan disposed within the base portion and adapted for collecting water melted from the block of ice.
