Outdoor cooling or heating system creating a substantially open temperature-controlled zone for personnel

Abstract

A cooling or heating system creating an open, unbounded, temperature-controlled zone for personnel having HVAC equipment for producing and delivering cooled or heated air, an apertured deck member capable of supporting personnel, and air delivery conduits connecting the HVAC equipment with said deck member. The system may be transportable.

1 . A transportable outdoor cooling and heating system creating a substantially open temperature-controlled zone for personnel, said system comprising:
 high volume air conditioning means for producing and delivering cooled or heated air, an apertured deck member capable of supporting personnel, and an air delivery conduit connecting said high volume air conditioning means with said deck member to pass said cooled or heated air through said deck member, thereby creating a substantially open temperature-controlled zone,   said system further comprising transportation means for transporting said system to different locations, wherein said high volume air conditioning means, said deck member and said air delivery conduit are mounted onto said transportation means   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said transportation means comprises a wheeled vehicle. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said transportation means comprises a trailer. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a return air conduit positioned adjacent said deck member, such that a portion of said heated or cooled air is recycled through said high volume air conditioning means. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising vanes positioned within said air delivery conduit to direct the flow of air through said deck member. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a bench member positioned on said deck member. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a deflection wall adjacent said deck member. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a canopy positioned above said deck member. 
     
     
         9 . A transportable outdoor cooling or heating system creating a substantially unbounded temperature-controlled zone for personnel, said system comprising:
 high volume air conditioning means for producing and delivering cooled or heated air, an apertured deck member capable of supporting personnel, and an air delivery conduit connecting said high volume air conditioning means with said deck member to pass said cooled or heated air through said deck member, thereby creating a substantially open temperature-controlled zone,   said system further comprising transportation means for transporting said system to different locations, wherein said high volume air conditioning means, said deck member and said air delivery conduit are mounted onto said transportation means.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein said transportation means comprises a wheeled vehicle. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein said transportation means comprises a trailer. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 9 , further comprising a return air conduit positioned adjacent said deck member, such that a portion of said heated or cooled air is recycled through said high volume air conditioning means. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 9 , further comprising vanes positioned within said air delivery conduit to direct the flow of air through said deck member. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 9 , further comprising a bench member positioned on said deck member. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 9 , further comprising a deflection wall adjacent said deck member. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 9 , further comprising a canopy positioned above said deck member. 
     
     
         17 . A transportable outdoor system creating a substantially open temperature-controlled zone for personnel, said system comprising:
 high volume air conditioning means for producing and delivering cooled or heated air, an apertured deck member capable of supporting personnel, and an air delivery conduit connecting said high volume air conditioning means with said deck member to pass said cooled or heated air through said deck member, thereby creating a substantially open temperature-controlled zone,   said system further comprising transportation means for transporting said system to different locations, wherein said high volume air conditioning means, said deck member and said air delivery conduit are mounted onto said transportation means.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein said transportation means comprises a wheeled vehicle. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein said transportation means comprises a trailer. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 17 , further comprising a return air conduit positioned adjacent said deck member, such that a portion of said heated or cooled air is recycled through said high volume air conditioning means.
