Thermal fluid temperature converter

Abstract

A thermal fluid temperature converter uses temperature from a thermal fluid to preheat or precool incoming air prior to entering a household / workplace / building / appliance. The thermal fluid temperature converter includes a hollow housing, a filter placed inside the hollow housing, and a temperature exchanger placed inside the hollow housing. The temperature exchanger is adapted to receive a thermal fluid that circulates through the coils. The air enters the hollow housing, interchanges temperature with the thermal fluid circulating through the coils, and leaves the hollow housing as a heated air or a cooled air.
