Patent ID: 8789291

Claim:
A portable carpet drying system comprising: a portable centrifugal air mover comprising a body having a snout projecting therefrom, the air mover being adapted to blow air out through the snout; and a portable heat exchanger assembly comprising: a housing at least partially bounding a chamber, the housing having an inlet port and an outlet port that each communicate with the chamber; a seal mounted on the housing, the seal having an inside edge that bounds an opening that is in alignment with the inlet port, the air mover being seated on the housing with the snout extending through the inlet port and into the chamber of the housing, the snout forcing the seal to bend into the chamber and bias against the snout so that when air is passed from the air mover into the chamber air pressure created within the chamber pushes the seal against the snout; and a heat exchanger at least partially disposed within the chamber of the housing such that air blown from the air mover is passed by the heat exchanger and out through the outlet port, wherein the housing further comprises a top surface and an opposing bottom surface, a front face and an opposing back face that extend between the top and bottom surfaces, and a pair of opposing side faces that extend between the top and bottom surfaces, the inlet port being formed on the top surface of the housing and an exchanger snout projecting from the front face of the housing and bounding the outlet port, the air mover being seated on the top surface of the housing with the snout extending through the inlet port so that the air exiting the snout passes through the heat exchanger at an oblique angle.
