Abstract:
A hybrid temperature control system for controlling the temperature of the air in a first conditioned space, the hybrid temperature control system comprising: a mechanical temperature control unit having primary evaporator means for reducing the temperature of first conditioned space air, the primary evaporator means utilizing a first heat absorbing fluid to remove the heat from the first conditioned space air; the hybrid temperature control system further comprising a supplemental cooling unit comprising supplemental evaporator means located a distance from the primary evaporator means, the supplemental evaporator having a discharge line, an inlet line, a supplemental evaporator coil joining the inlet and discharge lines, the supplemental evaporator coil made integral with the primary evaporator coil, the supplemental cooling system further comprising; second heat absorbing fluid storage means; and valve means connected to the inlet line, the valve means for controlling the supply of second heat absorbing fluid to the supplemental evaporator coil, the supplemental cooling unit utilizing a second heat absorbing fluid to remove additional heat from the first conditioned space air to further reduce the temperature of the first conditioned space air.
