  • FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view through the main body portion of the device after the opposite ends of the apparatus have been removed;
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the apparatus, with the opposite end members disengaged from the main body portion;
  • FIG. 3 illustrates in perspective a modified construction of the apparatus made in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a control means for use with the apparatus.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 depict apparatus having an outer casing of the shape of a paralielopipedon, having an inturned flange 34 at each end. That body is divided internally into two chambers 2 and 3 by a transverse wall 4.
  • the chamber 2 is divided into upper and lower sections by a partition wall 10 and in the lower section there is an evaporating unit 5 of conventional design and construction and an air filter 6, said air filter being removable, as is customary.
  • a deep tray 7 for collecting condensed water from said evaporating unit and leading from the rear end of the deep tray is a pipe 8 which extends through the wall 4 and into the chamber 3.
  • the chamber 3 has in it, in addition to the motor 15 and pedestal 25, a compressor unit 26 supported by resilient mounting 27, a condenser unit 18 extending across the end of the casing 1, a diffuser 21 havingan air inlet 23 coaxial with the shaft 17, an inclined baffie plate 20 which separates the chamber into upper and lower sections and a centrifugal impeller 24 which is fastened to the shaft 17.
  • the outer end of the baffle plate 20 is at the same height relative to the base. of the casing 1 as the wall 10.
  • At the lower end of the diffuser 21 there is a tray for holding the water delivered to the chamber 3 through the pipe 8.
  • Air drawn in through the end Y of the casing 1 by the action of the impeller 24 will be caused to pass through the condenser unit 18, where it will be warmed, through the air inlet 23 of the, diffuser 21, through an opening 22 above the impeller and then through the upper section of the chamber 3 and out the end Y of the casing 1, the circulatory passage of the air being indicated by the arrows .A in FIG. 1.. In its passage that air will pass over any water in the tray at the bottom of the diffuser 21 and will effect evaporation of that water.
  • Electric power to the motor is through a lead 28 having in its length a suitable snap switch 29.
  • the inner cover member 36 is conveniently made of synthetic plastic material and it is always located at that end of the casing which is directed inwardly toward the room which is to be heated, cooled or ventilated.
  • Permanent magnets 32 are secured to one side of that member 30, along at least a part of the outer edge portion thereof, so as to provide means for holding the member 30 in position at either one end or the other of the casing 1, the outer part of which is conveniently made of ferrous metal.
  • the rear or outer cover member 31 which is of the same outer dimensions as the inner cover member 30 is conveniently made of synthetic plastic material and it has a substantially cylindrical neck or ring which is divided into two ducts 36 and 37 by a partition plate 38, the outer end part of which projects as a wing 39.
  • Permanent magnet holders 40 are secured along at least a part of the outer edge portion of the member 31, so that the rear member 31 may be detachably fitted to either one end or the other of the casing 1, and a flap 42 is hingedly mounted on the lower part of said rear member. That flap 42 is arranged so that air may be drawn into the unit from a room and discharged to the outside.
  • the inner end 41 of the partition wall 38 is arranged to coincide with the outer edge of the inclined bathe plate and the outer end of the partition wall 10, and the cylindrical neck or ring of the member 31 is adapted to be engaged in a circular hole provided in a wall or window frame of a building, so that outside air may be drawn into a room or air discharged from a room to the outside through the member 31.
  • the casing 1 When the apparatus is to be used for cooling the air in a room the casing 1 is turned so that the end Y thereof is connected to the rear member 31, and the front member is mounted on the end X. If it is desired to heat the air in the room the front member is detached from the casing 1, which is detached from the rear member 31, then turned end-for-end so that the end X may be readily engaged with said rear member 31, and the front member is then fitted to the end Y.
  • the intermediate body portion of the apparatus that member is preferably mounted on castors or on a castor frame (not shown).
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a construction substantially the same as that depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2 save that instead of the magnetic means for detachably holding the members 30 and 31 on the casing 1, the casing 1a has at its opposite ends guideways 50 adapted to slidably accommodate the interchangeable end members 30a and 31a.
  • FIG. 4 shows a control means having a handgrip 52 incorporated in a cable 53 adapted to be connected to the apparatus and to a source of power.
  • Said handgrip 52 has manually operable controls in the form of four push buttons 54, 55, 56 and 57 operable, respectively, for controlling the main switch, for controlling the apparatus so that it will operate to provide for ventilation without the operation of either the cooling or the heating means, for controlling the minimum cooling and heating, and for controlling the maximum cooling and heating.
