Abstract:
A packaged terminal air conditioner unit (PTAC) and methods for operating the same are provided. A PTAC controller is operably coupled to a proximity indication device for detecting that a proximity trigger condition exists and is configured for adjusting an operating parameter of the PTAC to adjust an outlet temperature of a flow of discharge air in response to determining that the proximity trigger condition exists. The proximity trigger condition may exist when a proximity sensor detects an occupant close to the PTAC, when a user input button is activated, or when a voice command is received.

Claim (Index 1):
A packaged terminal air conditioner unit comprising:\n a bulkhead defining an indoor portion and an outdoor portion; a refrigeration loop comprising an outdoor heat exchanger positioned within the outdoor portion and an indoor heat exchanger positioned within the indoor portion; a compressor operably coupled to the refrigeration loop and being configured for urging a flow of refrigerant through the outdoor heat exchanger and the indoor heat exchanger; an indoor fan configured for urging a flow of discharge air through the indoor heat exchanger and out a discharge vent; and a controller operably coupled to a proximity indication device, the controller being configured for:\n determining that a proximity trigger condition exists using the proximity indication device; and \n adjusting an operating parameter of the packaged terminal air conditioner to adjust an outlet temperature of the flow of discharge air in response to determining that the proximity trigger condition exists.
