Low Power Air Cooling for Bedrooms

Fan Bed Walls and furniture

Common sizes : 11x10 to 12x11

Inadequate reach of air from ceiling fan to users sleeping on the bed due to position of the fan. People try to sleep under the fan in summers. Gusts of wind from the fan causes discomfort. Uneven cooling from Wall mounted Air Conditioner. High energy consumption of A/Cs. People use A/C and ceiling fan simultaneously for better circulation of cool air.

Study of Bedrooms and Problem Identification

Low Power Air Cooling for Bedrooms

Laminar airflow achieved by viscous shearing effect

Two motorized Cool air blowers to cover area above the bed. Central Blower with ionizer to cover rest of the room. Laminar airflow for comfort. Remote controlled operation Smaller compressor used because cool air is distributed directly over required area.

Motorized blowers with heat exchangers
