Abstract
A cooling, heat exchanging, system effectively heats or cools the air within an enclosed space. The system operates for an extended time period without requiring the use of a generator or utility power.
Claims12
A portable system for altering the ambient temperature of air within an enclosed space, the system comprising:
- a. a thermally insulated chamber having side walls, a top, and a bottom;
- b. an air permeable separation device supported above the bottom of the thermally insulated chamber, defining an upper section of the thermally insulated chamber and a lower section of the thermally insulated chamber within the thermally insulated chamber, wherein the air permeable separation device comprises a radiator defining a plurality of radiator fins;
- c. an intake air conducting conduit through a first of the side walls, through the separation device to the lower section;
- d. an outlet air conducting conduit with an upwardly depending opening to receive air from the upper section, the outlet air conducting conduit penetrating a second of the side walls;
- e. a fan to force air through the intake air conducting conduit and the outlet air conducting conduit;
- and
- f. an air temperature modifier within the thermally insulated chamber.

A portable system for altering the ambient temperature of air within an enclosed space, the system comprising:
- a. a thermally insulated chamber having a pair of opposing side walls, a front wall, a back wall, a top, and a bottom, wherein the top is hingedly mounted to the back wall;
- b. an air permeable separation device supported above the bottom of the thermally insulated chamber, defining an upper section of the thermally insulated chamber and a lower section of the thermally insulated chamber within the thermally insulated chamber, wherein the air permeable separation device comprises a radiator defining a plurality of fins, the separation device defining an opening;
- c. an intake air conducting conduit through a first of the side walls, through the opening in the separation device to the lower section;
- d. a U-shaped outlet air conducting conduit with an upwardly depending opening to receive air from the upper section, the outlet air conducting conduit penetrating a second of the side walls, the outlet air conducting conduit defining a low point;
- e. a fan mounted in the intake air conducting conduit to force air through the intake air conducting conduit and the outlet air conducting conduit;
- f. a drain from the low point in the outlet air conducting conduit to the lower section of the thermally insulated chamber;
- g. an air temperature modifier within the thermally insulated chamber;
- and
- h. a drain from the lower section of the thermally insulated chamber through one of the side walls.
