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.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 415,683 filed Nov. 19, 2010, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to an energy conservation device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a device for utilizing temperature of a thermal fluid for warming or cooling incoming air prior to entering a household appliance.[0003]Currently, the rising cost of energy is creating a need for consumers to reduce energy expenses. Various attempts have been made to improve the efficiency of household appliances by reducing energy consumption. Unfortunately, the known devices and systems do not provide a simple, dependable, and efficient way of preheating or precooling air prior to entering the household appliance.[0004]As can be seen, there is a need for an energy conservation device that efficiently preheats...
