Publication number: 20190011138Abstract: An evaporative HVAC apparatus is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus provides an at least one housing having an inner surface that defines a substantially tubular-shaped air passage extending therethrough. An absorbent wicking layer is formed immediately adjacent to at least a portion of the inner surface of the housing, and a thermal layer is formed immediately adjacent to an inner surface of the wicking layer. The housing also provides an at least one fluid inlet aperture through which a fluid line extends a distance into the housing so as to be in fluid communication with the wicking layer. Thus, a fluid is selectively delivered to the wicking layer through the fluid line which, in turn, permeates the thermal layer and evaporates into the air located immediately adjacent an exposed inner surface of the thermal layer, thereby affecting the temperature of the air moving through the air passage.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2018Publication date: January 10, 2019Applicant: Aermist LLCInventor: Jonathan S.

Publication number: 20180066856Abstract: An evaporative HVAC apparatus is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus provides an at least one absorbent wicking layer having a first surface and an opposing second surface, and an at least one thermal layer also having a first surface and an opposing second surface. The second surface of the at least one thermal layer is formed immediately adjacent to the first surface of the at least one wicking layer. An at least one fluid line is in fluid communication with the at least one wicking layer. Thus, a fluid is selectively delivered to the wicking layer through the at least one fluid line which, in turn, permeates the at least one thermal layer and evaporates into the air located immediately adjacent the exposed first surface of the at least one thermal layer, thereby affecting the temperature of the air.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2017Publication date: March 8, 2018Applicant: Aermist LLCInventor: Jonathan S.

Patent number: 9523489Abstract: A grow light cooling system is disclosed for use within a grow facility. In at least one embodiment, the system provides an elongate enclosure having an at least one intake end and an at least one exhaust end, along with an at least one grow light suspended therewithin. The at least one intake end provides an intake fan configured for drawing air into said intake end. The at least one exhaust end provides an exhaust fan configured for expelling air from said exhaust end. A bottom surface of the enclosure provides an at least one cutout positioned substantially underneath each of the at least one grow light. The at least one grow light is positioned in substantially close proximity to the bottom surface of the enclosure, thereby causing airflow within the enclosure to form a relatively thin air curtain that flows across the at least one cutout.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2015Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: Aermist LLCInventor: Jonathan S. Harms

Patent number: 9429346Abstract: An evaporative chiller utilizes an evaporative-cooled gypsum-ceramic casting to chill air passing through a passageway formed within the casting. Placed within an outer housing, the gypsum-ceramic casting has an outer wicking layer that maintains water saturation of the casting. Nano-evaporation from the casting surface into the air passageway cools the casting. Water is provided to the wicking layer from a supply connected to the outer housing. The chiller may be placed in-line within air ductwork, and blowers may be used to enhance the flow of air to be chilled through the evaporative chiller passageway.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2013Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: Aermist LLCInventor: Jonathan S.

In at least one embodiment, the apparatus provides a housing positioned substantially in front of a vehicle evaporator and having an inner surface that defines an air passage extending therethrough. At least one thermal core is positioned within the housing. The at least one thermal core comprises at least one absorbent wicking layer sandwiched between a pair of substantially planar thermal layers. At least one fluid line is in fluid communication with the at least one wicking layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2016Publication date: June 9, 2016Applicant: Aermist LLCInventor: Jonathan S.
