AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present patent is about a free-standing evaporative air cooling system that can be placed on the ground and has an air inlet and cooling pad for cooling air. The system includes an elongated neck with an air blower assembly to draw in outside air and cool it. The cooled air is then directed through an air flow passageway and exits through air outlets positioned at least 70 inches above the bottom of the system. The technical effects of this system include improved air cooling efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and improved distribution of cooled air.

Problems solved by technology

However, these air cooling systems are believed to have various disadvantages.
For example, these systems are not useful for effectively cooling an area (where people are located) from above.
For another example, it is believed that these systems are limited in the distance they can project and distribute the cooled air.

Abstract

A free-standing evaporative air cooling system includes a base, at least one air inlet and at least one cooling pad. A neck extends upwardly relative to the base and includes at least one upwardly-oriented air flow passageway in gaseous communication with the air inlet(s). At least one air outlet is disposed proximate to the upper end of the neck and is in gaseous communication with the air flow passageway.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present disclosure relates generally to air cooling systems and methods and, in some embodiments, to evaporative air cooling apparatus and methods.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Evaporative air cooling systems are well known and often used for cooling indoor and / or outdoor spaces. Presently, for example, various free-standing, mobile evaporative coolers are known or available, such as the ESAC™ PC evaporative cooler series sold by Munters Italy S.p.A. Another portable, self-contained, evaporative air cooler is disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication Number 2009 / 0000325 filed by Johnnie Johnson on Jun. 26, 2007. However, these air cooling systems are believed to have various disadvantages. For example, these systems are not useful for effectively cooling an area (where people are located) from above. For another example, it is believed that these systems are limited in the distance they can project and distribute the cooled air. For yet anot...
