Portable air conditioner with water evaporator heat exchange system

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention include a portable air conditioner having a water evaporative type heat exchange system that delivers water onto the condenser, thereby cooling the condenser and optionally including a water cooling system, including a pump and a water diffuser in fluid communication via a conduit wherein the condenser is cooled by spraying water from the water diffuser onto the condenser thereby cooling the condenser and subsequently reducing electrical consumption.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A portable air conditioner, comprising:
 a compressor;   an accumulator in fluid communication with the compressor via a conduit;   a condenser in fluid communication with the compressor, wherein the compressor supplies a fluid to the condenser;   a condenser fan capable of blowing air onto the compressor and blowing the air through a hot air portal;   an evaporator in fluid communication with the compressor;   an evaporator fan capable of blowing air onto the evaporator, cooling the air, and blowing it through a cold air portal;   a solenoid valve capable of opening and closing the conduit, controlling the flow of the fluid to the accumulator; and   a water evaporative type heat exchange system that delivers water onto the condenser, thereby cooling the condenser.   
     
     
         2 . The portable air conditioner of  claim 1 , further comprising a water cooling system, comprising a pump and a water diffuser in fluid communication via a conduit wherein the condenser is cooled by spraying water from the water diffuser onto the condenser thereby cooling the condenser and subsequently reducing electrical consumption. 
     
     
         3 . The portable air conditioner of  claim 1 , wherein the fluid comprises a refrigerant. 
     
     
         4 . The portable air conditioner of  claim 1 , wherein the refrigerant comprises R22. 
     
     
         5 . The portable air conditioner of  claim 1 , further comprising a strainer in fluid communication with the compressor. 
     
     
         6 . A kit for an interlinked wall, comprising:
 at least one first interlinking tile having a plurality of locking elements and a plurality of locking holes, and at least one through hole; and   a plurality of second interlinking tiles having a plurality of locking elements and a plurality of locking holes, wherein interlinking the at least one first interlinking tile with the plurality of second interlinking tiles creates an interlinked wall for providing a barrier between two spatial areas, wherein the kit comprises a variety of different sized first and second interlinking tiles adapted to fit a range of windows sizes.   
     
     
         7 . The interlinked wall of  claim 6 , further comprising a plurality of third interlinking tiles. 
     
     
         8 . The interlinked wall of  claim 6 , further comprising a plurality of fourth interlinking tiles. 
     
     
         9 . The interlinked wall of  claim 6 , further comprising a plurality of fifth interlinking tiles. 
     
     
         10 . The interlinked wall of  claim 6 , further comprising a plurality of sixth interlinking tiles. 
     
     
         11 . The interlinked wall of  claim 6 , wherein the two spatial area comprise a window disposed therebetween. 
     
     
         12 . A method of efficiently cooling a space, comprising:
 attaching an appropriately sized interlinked wall of  claim 5  to the hot air portal of an operating portable air conditioner of  claim 1 , wherein the interlinked wall is disposed between hot air portal and the cold air portal of the operating portable air conditioner.
