Abstract: In certain embodiments, a packaged terminal device for killing pests in an affected area includes a housing configured to be positioned at least partially within an affected area, a fan positioned within the housing, and one or more heating elements positioned within the housing. The fan is operable to draw a flow of air from the affected area into the housing. The one or more heating elements are operable to generate heated air by transferring heat to the flow of air. The packaged terminal device further includes a control unit operable to control the operation of the one or more heating elements in order to cause the packaged terminal device to operate in either a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, the operation of the one or more heating elements is controlled such that sufficient heated air is generated to heat at least a portion of the affected area to a temperature less than or equal to a first predefined temperature. In the second mode, the operation of the one or more heating elements is controlled such that sufficient heated air is generated to heat at least a portion of the affected area to a temperature greater than or equal to a second predefined temperature, the second predefined temperature being greater than the first predefined temperature.

Abstract translation: 在某些实施例中，用于杀死受影响区域中的害虫的封装终端设备包括被配置为至少部分地位于受影响区域内的壳体，位于壳体内的风扇和位于壳体内的一个或多个加热元件。 风扇可操作以从受影响的区域吸入空气流入壳体。 一个或多个加热元件可操作以通过将热传递到空气流来产生加热的空气。 封装的终端设备还包括控制单元，其可操作以控制一个或多个加热元件的操作，以使封装的终端设备以第一模式或第二模式工作。 在第一模式中，控制一个或多个加热元件的操作，使得产生足够的加热空气以将受影响区域的至少一部分加热至小于或等于第一预定温度的温度。 在第二模式中，控制一个或多个加热元件的操作，使得产生足够的加热空气以将受影响区域的至少一部分加热至大于或等于第二预定温度的温度，第二预定温度 大于第一预定温度。
