  • Publication number: 20100197214
    Abstract: The present invention provides a cooling system, which is referred to herein as a slider vent, for dwellings or residences that have a sliding patio door or the like. In an embodiment of the invention, the slider vent occupies approximately six (6) inches of the sliding door track and uses two centrifugal fans to exhaust hot interior air within the dwelling directly to the exterior of the residence and draws in cooler exterior air from outside the dwelling via an adjacent open window. The electrical components within the unit are enclosed by an inner housing for consumer safety and to protect them from the elements, and ventilation flows through an assemblage of moveable shutters that remain closed when the fans are not in operation. The unit is powered by a household power source via a plug connected at the bottom of the unit on the interior side. The unit also has a variable speed control to adjust air flow, located in the center of the unit, also on the interior side.
