PORTABLE AIR COOLING UNIT
20180283710 · 2018-10-04 ·

The present application describes a portable air cooling unit configured to provide a cooling effect upon a user through the removal of heat from an air flow. The unit includes a fan unit configured to generate the air flow. The air flow is sent through a storage unit that holds one or more cooling mediums. An internal tray is located in the storage unit and is configured to translate vertically in relation to the type and amount of cooling medium. The air flow is selectively directed through the cooling mediums to provide a dual stage cooling process prior to leaving through a flexible exhaust duct. Warm air enters the storage unit and leaves through the exhaust duct which is directed for the best cooling use as determined by the user.
