Abstract:
A portable air chiller comprising:an insulated container having an interior capable of containing an endothermic substrate said container including walls defining; an in-flow vent said inflow vent capable of communicating air from the outside of said container into said interior of said container; an out-flow vent said outflow vent capable of communicating air from said interior of said container to the outside of said container; a fan located in fluid communication with said out-flow vent, the fan capable of expelling air from said out-flow vent; an endothermic substrate holder in said interior for holding endothermic substrate so air pulled into said interior from said in-flow vent and out said out-flow vent will be cooled by said endothermic substrate wherein the endothermic substrate holder includes holes to facilitate air flow through said endothermic substrate; an adjustable directional air flow guide connected to said out-flow vent capable of directing air expelled from said out-flow vent towards a desired location; said in-flow vent, said endothermic substrate holder, said out-flow vent and said air flow guide being located, sized, and shaped so said fan pulls air into said interior of said container through said in-flow vent and pulls said air about an endothermic substrate in said interior of said container and engaged with said endothermic substrate holder so said endothermic substrate cools said air and so said cooled air is expelled out said air flow guide by said fan towards a desired location; and, said combination of said container, in-flow vent, endothermic substrate holder, out-flow vent, fan, air flow guide, and container interior being sized, shaped, designed, and constructed to be capable of accepting endothermic substrate and cooling a portion of a confined air space.
