ABSTRACT:
A portable air cooler for installation near a kitchen or similar sink using tap water as a refrigerant. The portable air cooler comprises a fan and an air cooling coil at the inlet opening of the fan. The cooling coil comprises hose means to circulate a flow of cold water from the faucet of a kitchen sink, through the coil and back into the sink. The fan and the cooling coil are contained within a housing which has baffle means to expel air upwardly. The baffle means on the housing provides for mixing a naturally rising warm air with a naturally falling cold air within a room to be cooled. The still cold water flowing out of the cooling coil and into the kitchen sink cools the surface of the sink. The portable air cooler is adapted to generate an air circulation over the surface of the sink whereby warm air is pre-cooled before entering the fan. The kitchen sink is used as a heat exchanger in series with the cooling coil inside the unit to cool ambient air through the fan.
