In

The rain line 4-4 of Fig. 2; will not ass into the room, but-will pass through Fig. 5 is a. diagrammatic view showing the the receptacle i0 and then out through the circulatory system utilized in the construction valve H. The motor and compressor are 10- of Figs. 1 and 2. cated in a casing H which may be' located at Like numerals refer to like parts throughout any suitable point, preferably in'one corner of so the several figures. the room and which is preferably made sound Referring now to the drawing, wherein there proof. One of the conductors II for the motor is shown one form of the device, in this conmay be run to a suitable point on the wall to struction there is one or more admission opena switch l4 which may be manipulated by means ings, through which air is admitted to the room, ofthe handle l5 or may be arranged to act and one or more discharge openings, through automatically by a thermostat. which air is discharged from the room, the num- The condenser element is preferably located ber depending upon the size of the room and in a higher horizontal plane than the cooling the conditions presented. These openings may element, so that in ordinary use there will be, be formed in any desired manner and for this as it were, two layers of air in the room, a lay- 40 purpose a part of the window openings may be er of cold air in the bottom portion below the used. In the construction shown, these opencooling element and a layer of warmer air in ings are formed by lowering the upper sashes the upper portion above the cooling element, of the windows a sufficient amount. this layer of warmer air being tapped by the In this construction there is illustrated in Fig. discharge opening through which the air is drawn 1 a section through a Portion of a building and by the condenser element. In the construction there are shown separate rooms provided with shown the air inlet has its upper portion above one form of the air circulating and cooling dethe cooling element and its lower portion envice. In this construction the cooling element circling the cooling element. '3 is placed in a conduit 4 which has a portion Any suitable refrigerating apparatus may be 5 leading to the outside atmosphere and this used. As shown herein the refrigerating appa- 'portlon preferably has its admission opening 6' ratus has a circulatory system which is dialocated at the bottom so that rain will not grammatically illustrated in Fig. 5, wherein the enter. This conduit may be located at any derefrigerant after leaving the compressor l6 passes sired points, and I have shown it as being 10- through pipe II to the condenser element 1,
which may be a coil or any other desired form, where it is cooled by a current of air and passes by pipe l8 to the tank [9. The refrigerant then passes by means of pipe 20 to the expansion valve 2|, and thence to the cooling element 3 which may be a coil or any other suitable element, where it cools the air. The refrigerant then passes by pipe 22 back to the compressor l6. In the construction shown herein the coolin element 3 is located in proximity to the air admission opening and the condenser element 1 is located in proximity to the air discharge opening, the piping being arranged to permit the proper circulation of the refrigerant when the parts are in this position, as shown diagrammatically, for example, in Fig. 5.
It will be seen that by means of this arrange ment the outside air is cooled by the cooling element 3 and drops down into the room, and the condenser element 1 heats the air in the conduit 8 and causes it to rise and produce a suction to draw air out of the room, the air leaving the room striking the condenser element so as to act to cool it. By means of this device the 'noise attending the use of a fan or the like for circulating air is done away with. It will be noted that in this construction there is a cooling element, which may be of any form, and that the upper end of the inlet for passing air to the cooling element is above said cooling element. The outside air passes downwardly and past the cooling element so as. to be cooled and caused to drop by gravity into said room. I have found that with this arrangement substantially the same amount of change of temperature of the air is secured regardless of the temperature of the outside atmospheric air, thus requiring no complicated apparatus to secure this result. This cooled air drops down into the room and spreads out therein and passes therealong at a comparatively slow flow and then passes out of the room, not being felt as a draft by the occupants of the room. The condenser element assists in the discharge of the air from the room. The outlet with the condenser element, associated with it, is located in the upper part of the room, where the outlet communicates with the layer of warm air in the room, and by properly disposing and positioning the cooling element and the condenser, it will be seen thatvthe cold air is not discharged from the room but remains in the lower portion of the room, the warmer air at the upper portion being discharged through this outlet. It will further be seen that there is no direct draft from the air inlet to the air outlet due to the pulling action of the condenser, but that the cold air drops down in to the room and fills it up to a certain level, say that at which the cooling element is located, and that the air discharged from the room comes from this upper warmer layer of air, which has its air supplied itself from the cold air in the lower portion of the room.
I have illustrated the invention in connection with various kinds of room, but it will readily be seen that it is applicable to any room which is used by human beings.
