Patent ID: 8495893

Claim:
A hybrid apparatus for cooling and heating water and air and storing heated water, said apparatus comprising: a refrigeration system, a first insulated water tank, a water inlet, a heater and a pump for transferring heat from said refrigeration system into a portion of the water from said water inlet to thereby produce heated water, a first pipe for delivering heated water from said heater into said first water tank and a first tap for drawing off heated water; a water cooling mechanism including said refrigeration system for cooling a portion of water from said water inlet to thereby produce a mass of cooled water, a second water tank and a second pipe for transferring the cooled water to said second water tank and a second tap for draining off cooled water; an air cooling mechanism including said refrigeration system for cooling air to thereby produce cooled air and a fan directing the cooled air into a surrounding area; an outer housing and a set of casters for moving said hybrid apparatus from one room to another to thereby provide a portable apparatus; and in which said air cooling mechanism includes a cooling coil disposed around said second water tank, a pump for pumping cold water into said cooling coil and said fan blows air across said coil; and an electrical heater near said first tank adding additional heat to the heated water.
