摘要:
An apparatus may store at least one object including at least one top end and at least one bottom end. The apparatus may include a container configured to store the at least one object and a pouch containing a liquid. The pouch may be configured to substantially cover the at least one top end of the at least one object when stored inside the container. The pouch may be configured to contact the at least one top end of the at least one object and to open when contacted by contents expelled from the at least one object due to thermal runaway.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a unitary cabin body having a utility compartment and a laterally adjacent personal compartment, the utility compartment forming a water reservoir in controlled, gravity-fed fluid communication with a climate control compartment, and a laterally directed outlet providing fluid communication from the climate control compartment to the personal compartment. In an illustrative example, the climate control compartment may be integrally formed to provide an evaporative cooling compartment and a plenum compartment. A float valve may regulate fluid communication from the water reservoir to the evaporative cooling compartment, for example. In various embodiments, a unitary roof body may engage the unitary cabin body in a stowed mode for transport, for example, and be raised above the unitary body in a deployed mode for occupancy.

An evaporative cooler circulation and drain system including a fluid pump and a storage tank defining an interior volume for holding a fluid is disclosed. In one aspect, the system is operable between a circulation and drain-circulation operational modes. In the circulation mode, a drain valve is closed and the fluid pump is activated such that fluid is continuously circulated within the storage tank to discourage debris from settling by keeping debris in the tank in suspension. In the drain-circulation mode, the drain valve is opened and the fluid pump is activated such that fluid is both being continuously circulated within the interior volume of the storage tank and draining from the tank. In some embodiments, the system increases the drain flow rate by directing circulated fluid directly at a drain opening of the tank to flush debris through the drain piping and prevent plugging.
摘要:
An evaporative media system having multiple media stages each served by a separate pump is disclosed. In one aspect, the evaporative media system has a first media stage and a second media stage. A first pump is provided that is configured to deliver water from the first compartment of the water storage tank to the first media stage. Additionally, a second pump is provided that is configured to deliver water from the first compartment of the water storage tank to the second media stage. Additional media stages and pumps may be provided as well. The disclosed configuration eliminates the need for individual staging valves, provides a higher level of operational redundancy, reduces electrical consumption, and can be provided at a lower cost, as compared to many existing systems.
摘要:
Water absorbing material provided in a planar shape over the substantially entire surface of a front side surface of cooling clothing is layered with an intermediate cloth having air permeability and a waterproof material or sheet, which is waterproof, to be sandwiched and wrapped therewith. By sewing or by sealing and joining the intermediate cloth and waterproof cloth or sheet, waterproof water dividers having length in the horizontal direction are provided at a suitable inclined angle of locations. Water that is inserted from a water inlet in the upper part of the cooling clothing by a PET bottle or the like flows toward the lower part of the cooling clothing between the surface of the water absorbing material and the waterproof cloth, meandering left and right continuously or in a stepwise shape, and making a puddles arise like terraces in prescribed locations here and there.
摘要:
An evaporative cooling device for beverage containers that uses hydrated polymer crystals within a sleeve-like cover to lower the temperature of a liquid contained within a conventional beverage container for an extended period of time through evaporative cooling. Made from flexible material, the device will have a flexible body conform to the shape of a wide variety of beverage containers. The evaporative cooling device is held to the beverage container by the increase in volume of the hydrated polymer crystals.
摘要:
An evaporative cooling device (40) is disclosed for cooling water or other liquids comprising a vessel (50) adapted to receive water or another liquid, said vessel comprising a vessel wall (53, 54, 55), an outer layer (90) of absorbent material and a wick (85) extending through said vessel wall, such that said wick is positioned to contact said water or other liquid within the vessel and is adapted to transport a portion of said water or other liquid through the wall by capillary action to said absorbent material, said wick being substantially impermeable to gas or vapor, so that the cooling device (40) can be connected in-line in an hydration system of the kind comprising a reservoir (12) and a drinking tube (32). Water or other liquid transported from within the vessel to the outer layer by said wick is absorbed by the absorbent material, from which it evaporates, the latent heat required for such evaporation being removed from the water or other liquid disposed within the vessel as sensible heat through the vessel wall, thereby cooling such water or other liquid. In some embodiments, the cooling device (40) may be fan-assisted. Also disclosed is a cooling garment comprising a garment portion that is adapted to be worn by a user and an evaporative cooling device (40) for cooling water or other liquids that are circulated through integrant channels or tubes provided in the garment.
摘要:
A liquid cooling system comprising: a liquid inlet and outlet; one or more liquid reservoirs in fluid communication with the liquid inlet and outlet; an evaporative element in fluid communication with a liquid reservoir; and a fan in flowable communication with a surface of the evaporative element is provided. The liquid cooling system can cool drinking water. The liquid cooling system can be powered by AC power, DC power, solar power or a combination. The liquid cooling system can be used in-line in a hydration system, for example.
