AI Technical Summary
Traditional ventilation systems lack effective cooling and humidification, with ice cube-based models being cumbersome and ineffective in high humidity environments, and electric rotors only provide minimal air mixing.
A ventilation device comprising a hollow cube filled with water that freezes to provide direct cooling, combined with a rotor for air passage, ensuring efficient cooling without humidification, using a thin, impermeable, and resistant shell to maintain air flow.
Provides real cooling without humidification, addressing the inefficiencies of traditional systems by ensuring effective air cooling and reducing complexity in handling ice cubes.

Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Air cooler by freezing a ventilated module.
[0001] The present invention relates to a ventilation device comprising a module filled with water to be placed in the freezer before use, aimed at cooling users during intense heat.
[0002] Traditional ventilation systems consist mainly of an electric rotor that only allows air to be mixed.
[0003] Some systems are equipped with membranes to be impregnated with water placed in front of the rotor in order to humidify the air, sometimes ice cubes can also be added to a tray near the rotor but these systems only allow humidification of the air or at best a slight cooling for models that can contain ice cubes. These models are not optimal because:
[0004] - The air does not pass directly between the ice cubes, the cooling generated is so tiny.
[0005] - Managing ice cubes for the user can be complicated.
[0006] - Humidifying the air can have the opposite effect to the desired effect when the humidity levels are high, for example in tropical areas.
[0007] The device according to the invention makes it possible to overcome these drawbacks. It is composed of a hollow cube equipped with a rotor on one face, the face opposite the rotor is removable and has air passages. The second part whose innovation is in question is a second cube, hollow and filled with water, having air passages. This second cube is to be placed in the freezer before use so that the water it contains freezes and therefore becomes very cold. The second cube, once frozen, is placed in the first cube by the removable face so that the air passages are opposite the rotor. The air is then sent through the frozen cube, the effect is therefore not a humidification of the air but a real cooling of the latter.
[0008] The attached drawings illustrate the invention:
[0009] - [Fig.l] represents the overall device of the invention.
[0010] - [Fig.2] represents the first cube equipped with its rotor and its removable face, in which houses the refrigerated cube.
[0011] - [Fig.3] represents, in section, the hollow cube to be placed in the freezer, consisting of the innovation of this patent application.
[0012] With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a first cube (1), composed of a face provided with a rotor (2) and air passages, a removable face provided with air passages (3), a connection socket to power the rotor (4), an on / off control button (5).
[0013] The second cube (6) of the device is hollow and provided with air passages (7). For optimal operation, the added volume of the air passages (7) must be approximately equal to the volume of the interstices belonging to the cube (8).
[0014] The shell of the second cube (6) must be as thin as possible, must be impermeable, and must be resistant so that freezing does not cause deformation which could hinder the passage of air. The water filling of the second cube (6) must not exceed 90% of the volume available in the latter in order to avoid any deformation due to the increase in volume of the change in state of matter during freezing.
[0015] The second cube (6) must be large enough to contain a maximum of cold but must be small enough not to take up too much space in a freezer and to be able to fit in a freezer. For example, a size of 14cmxl4cmxl4cm can be a good compromise.
[0016]
[0017]
[0018] The device according to the invention is particularly intended for users who do not have an air conditioning system in their home, during periods of high heat.

1. Air cooling device characterized in that it comprises: • a first cube (1) provided with a ventilation rotor (2) and a removable face (3) comprising air passages, • a second cube (6), hollow and filled with water, comprising air passages (7), intended to be frozen before use, then placed in the first cube (1) in such a way that the air passages (7) are opposite the rotor (2), thus allowing the air displaced by the rotor to be refreshed by passing through the second cube (6) previously frozen.
