Patent ID: 8156997

Claim:
A system for producing heated or cooled compressed air, comprising: an air compressor having an output port; a first air filter having an input port and an output port, wherein the output port of the air compressor is operatively connected for flow of compressed air to the input port of the first air filter; a heat exchanger enclosure having an interior within the heat exchanger enclosure and an exterior outside the heat exchanger enclosure; a heat exchange tubing positioned in the interior of the heat exchanger enclosure, the heat exchange tubing having an input port extending from the interior of the heat exchanger enclosure to the exterior of the heat exchanger enclosure, the heat exchange tubing having an output port extending from the interior of the heat exchanger enclosure to the exterior of the heat exchanger enclosure, and the heat exchange tubing having a middle portion operatively connected for flow of compressed air from the input port of the heat exchange tubing to the output port of the heat exchange tubing, wherein the output port of the first air filter is operatively connected for flow of compressed air to the input port of the heat exchange tubing; a second air filter having an input port and an output port, wherein the output port of the heat exchange tubing is operatively connected for flow of compressed air to the input port of the second air filter; an output manifold having an input port and a plurality of output ports, wherein the output port of the second air filter is operatively connected for flow of compressed air to the input port of the output manifold and wherein the input port of the output manifold is operatively connected for flow of compressed air to each output port of the output manifold; and at least one of protective gear or a garment releasably coupled to at least one of the plurality of output ports, wherein the at least one of the plurality of output ports is configured to supply the compressed air to the at least one of protective gear or the garment.
