US Patent:

Filed:

Jul 28, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/629121

Inventors:

Roger Pruitt - Banning CA, US

International Classification:

F28D 5/00

US Classification:

62314, 62310

Abstract:

A process and the required apparatus for air conditioning the interior of a structure located within a harsh desert like exterior environment. The air conditioning system is particularly effective at times when the exterior temperature is in excess of approximately 90 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, and the exterior relative humidity is less than approximately 35 to 40 percent. A tube and shell heat exchanger wherein the shell side is wet and the tube side is dry is employed to air condition the interior of the structure. In the operation of the air conditioner, a mass of distributed water, for example, a spray, is established on the wet shell side, and a flow of ambient air is passed through the wet shell side to form a resulting stream of moist air. A flow of ambient air is passed through the dry tube side and a resulting stream of dry cooled air is recovered. The streams of moist and cooled air are combined and the resulting stream of combined air is discharged into the exterior of the structure.

Appl. No.:

10/963188

Inventors:

Roger Pruitt - Banning CA, US

International Classification:

F28D005/00

US Classification:

062310000, 062314000

Abstract:

A process and the required apparatus for air conditioning the interior of a structure is shown which can be run entirely off a DC power source, such as a storage battery. A shell and tube heat exchanger is combined with a mechanical refrigeration system to provide a wet shell side and a dry tube side of the apparatus. In the operation of the air conditioner, a mass of distributed water is established on the wet shell side, and a flow of ambient air is passed through the wet shell side to form a resulting stream of moist air. A flow of ambient air is passed through the dry tube side and a resulting stream of dry cooled air is recovered. The streams of most and cooled air can either be combined or routed separately depending primarily upon the humidity of the surrounding environment to be cooled. The air conditioning unit is not hermetically sealed and the water consumption rate is generally less than that required for a conventional evaporative cooler.

Appl. No.:

11/644355

Inventors:

Roger Pruitt - Banning CA, US

International Classification:

F28D 5/00

US Classification:

062310000, 062314000

Abstract:

A system and method are shown which utilize a hybrid mechanical and evaporative air conditioning system to produce potable drinking while cooling an enclosure. The system operates on direct current, making it suitable for use in areas effected by natural disaster, power outage, or simply rural locations without access to electricity. The conditioning system includes both evaporative air conditioning and mechanical air conditioning functioning components to produce a water discharge. The system is operated to cool an enclosure. A portion of the water discharge is then drawn off and purified for use as drinking water.
