Mist cooler

Abstract

This mist cooler can use a 12V battery, similar to those used in electric golf carts, as an external power source. [Solution] The mist cooler of the present invention is mounted on a vehicle and comprises a fan unit having a two-fluid nozzle and a fan for spraying fine mist, a control unit having an air pump that generates pressurized air to supply it to the fan unit and a controller that controls the operation of the air pump within the casing, and a drive power supply material having a control board with drive power input / output connectors that supplies 12V drive power to the fan and air pump via the control board with drive power input / output connectors. The drive power supply material comprises a first system material that supplies drive power by a battery mounted on the control unit and / or a second system material that supplies drive power by an external power supply, and the first system material and the second system material can be used interchangeably.

Claims

1. A mist cooler mounted on a vehicle, comprising a fan unit having a two-fluid nozzle and a fan for spraying fine mist, a control unit having an air pump that generates pressurized air and a controller that controls the operation of the air pump within its casing, and a control board with a drive power input / output connector, and a drive power supply material that supplies 12V drive power to the fan and air pump via the control board with the drive power input / output connector, The drive power supply material comprises a first system member that supplies the drive power by a battery mounted on the control unit and / or a second system member that supplies the drive power by an external power supply, The first system material includes a battery adapter with terminals that can replaceably mount multiple batteries with different output voltages, a first system first wiring extending from the battery adapter with terminals, a DC-DC converter connected to the end of the first system first wiring and converting other voltages into 12V drive power, and a first system second wiring extending from the DC-DC converter, the end of which is connected to the input section of the control board with the drive power input / output connector. The second system material includes an external power adapter equipped with an external 12V power plug for connecting to a connection plug from an external 12V drive power supply, and a second system wiring extending from this external power adapter to the control board with the drive power input / output connector, the end of which is connected to the input section of the control board with the drive power input / output connector. The control unit is provided with an adapter mounting space at its lower part, which allows for the replacement and installation of either the battery adapter with terminals for the first system material or the external power adapter for the second system material. A mist cooler characterized by the ability to use the first system material and the second system material interchangeably.

2. A mist cooler according to claim 1, wherein multiple batteries with different output voltages are from the same manufacturer.

3. The mist cooler according to claim 2, wherein the plurality of batteries with different output voltages are of a slide-type battery that slides along grooves provided on the battery to be attached and secured when attached to the battery adapter.

4. The mist cooler according to claim 1, wherein the external 12V power supply is a 12V battery used in a golf cart.
