Abstract:
1. A portably powered air conditioning system comprising: (a) a housing; (b) a control panel; (c) a grill plate; (d) an inlet and outlet duct; (e) an absorption system comprising a propane burner, a central tube containing a boiler and siphon pump, a water separator, a condenser, an evaporator, an absorber, and an absorber vessel; (f) a thermoelectric power generator consists of a collection box/heat exchanger, exhaust port, a thermoelectric power generator module, a high efficiency DC fan motor (hereinafter fan motor), an inverter, a thermostat, an AC line voltage, a plurality of diodes, and an electronic heater coil; wherein located within the housing is the burner, a return port, a supply port, the central tube containing the boiler and the siphon pump, the water separator, the evaporator, the condenser, the absorber, the absorber vessel, the thermoelectric power generator module, the fan motor, and a fan; wherein the central tube contains the boiler along the bottom portion of the central tube; wherein the central tube contains the siphon pump along the top portion of the central tube; wherein the flame from the burner directs heat onto a region of piping of the absorption cycle that is underneath the central tube containing the boiler; wherein the absorption system contains a refrigerant consisting of ammonia, water, and hydrogen; wherein the central tube is located between the burner and the water separator; wherein the condenser is located between the water separator and the evaporator; wherein the absorber is located between the evaporator and the absorber vessel; wherein the burner is located between the absorber vessel and the central tube; wherein the refrigerant passes throughout the absorption system upon the introduction of heat from the burner, which in turn causes the refrigerant to pass over the evaporator cooling outside air that is moved by the fan; wherein water and a weak ammonia solution pass through both the boiler and the siphon pump to the water separator; wherein the water condenses at the water separator and returns to the boiler; wherein the weak ammonia solution at the water separator passes to the condenser and liquefies; wherein the liquefied ammonia passes over to the evaporator; wherein hydrogen is introduced into the evaporator and mixes with the liquefied ammonia thereby causing the ammonia to evaporate and cool the outside air that passes over the coils of the evaporator; wherein the ammonia and hydrogen travel down the piping away from the evaporator and into the absorber; wherein the cooled air is circulated by the fan motor and out through the supply port and into the outlet duct whereby the cooled air cools the area so connected to the portable air conditioner; wherein the return port is connected to the fan and the inlet duct; and wherein the cooled air that exits the supply duct and cools the area to be cooled, is subsequently cycled back through the distributor via the inlet duct and the return port.
