Abstract:
The present invention is a confined space conditioning system, which is used to provide conditioning to localized zones of an enclosure. The confined space conditioning system consists of a conditioning unit and an enveloped space, enveloping the localized zone, connected to the conditioning unit. The conditioning unit uses a low wattage compressor and a heater element to generate cool, dehumidified air or warm conditioned air to the enveloped space, as is required by a user of the system. The used conditioned air is extracted from the enveloped space and is recirculated to the conditioning unit for reconditioning. The surfaces of the enveloped space are thermally insulated using thermally insulating media in order to minimize the cross flow of heat.
