Embodiment Construction

[0028] Certain embodiments described herein advantageously provide individuals with localized personal comfort by building a range of controllability within the device that does not disturb or interfere with their normal work or other circumstances. In certain embodiments, localized temperature control within the vicinity of one or more individuals is provided. Such embodiments are distinguished from motorized refrigeration systems such as individually cooled and heated seats, which cool or warm the seat occupant more directly than the local environment. In certain embodiments, the local working environment is controllable.

[0029] Certain embodiments described herein advantageously add useful additional features to a personal environment device and cooperate with its basic design. Such features include localized air filtration, small area lighting, beverage heating / cooling, small personal refrigerators, and a quiet listening environment.

Abstract

A personal environment appliance and a vent for a personal environment appliance are provided. The appliance includes at least one thermoelectric module over at least one inlet port. The appliance further includes at least one main outlet port spaced from the at least one inlet port and at least one waste outlet port spaced from the at least one inlet port. The appliance further includes at least one filter between the at least one inlet port and the at least one thermoelectric module. The vent includes a plurality of first tubular conduits generally parallel to one another and each first tubular conduit having a ratio of the length divided by the width. The vent further includes a plurality of second tubular conduits generally parallel to one another and having a ratio of the length divided by the width. The plurality of second tubular conduits generally surrounds the plurality of first tubular conduits. The ratios of the second tubular conduits are sufficiently large such that air flow from the second tubular conduits is substantially laminar.
