Abstract
A window anti-fog system for preventing fogging between windowpanes. The window anti-fog system includes an aperture within a lower portion of a first windowpane, a gas container containing a pressurized volume of gas, and a delivery tube fluidly connected to the gas container with a distal portion inserted within the aperture within the first windowpane. The delivery tube preferably has a size smaller than the aperture for allowing air to escape, however, another opening within the windowpane may be utilized. The gas container preferably contains a gas lighter than air such as nitrogen. A valve between the gas container and the delivery tube controls the flow of the gas into the interior cavity between the first windowpane and a second windowpane.
Claims18
A window anti-fog system, comprising:
- a window unit having a first windowpane and a second windowpane defining an interior cavity;
- an aperture within said first windowpane;
- a gas container storing a volume of pressurized gas;
- and
- a delivery tube fluidly connected to said gas container and extending through said aperture for dispensing said pressurized gas into said interior cavity.
A method of installing an anti-fog system within a window unit having a first windowpane and a second windowpane defining an interior cavity, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) creating an aperture within said first windowpane;
- (b) inserting a delivery tube within said aperture, wherein said delivery tube is fluidly connected to a gas container containing a pressurized gas and a valve;
