Patent number: 10677492Abstract: A portable dehumidifier includes a plurality of recesses along a top edge of the portable dehumidifier and a plurality of protrusions along a bottom edge of the portable dehumidifier. The plurality of recesses permit a second portable dehumidifier to stack on top of the portable dehumidifier, and the plurality of protrusions permit the portable dehumidifier to stack on top of the second portable dehumidifier. The portable dehumidifier also includes a plurality of microchannel condenser coils and a fan located adjacent to the airflow outlet, the fan is configured to generate an airflow that flows into the portable dehumidifier through an airflow inlet and out of the portable dehumidifier through the airflow outlet, the airflow flowing through an evaporator and the plurality of microchannel condenser coils in order to provide dehumidification to the airflow.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2017Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Therma-Stor, LLCInventors: Todd R. DeMonte, Steven S. Dingle, Joshua William Henry, James A. Scharping, Jr., Jerome Verhoeven

Patent number: 10626885Abstract: An air mover comprising a housing with a top portion is disclosed. A mounting bracket is recessed into the housing through the top portion of the housing. The mounting bracket comprises a plurality of top chords intersecting at a first portion of an inner web and a plurality of bottom chords intersecting at a second portion of the inner web. The mounting bracket also has a base plate coupled to the plurality of bottom chords. A motor is coupled to the base plate of the mounting bracket. An impeller is coupled to the motor. The air mover further comprises a housing cover that has an inlet ring positioned on the top portion of the housing. The housing cover is coupled to the mounting bracket via the mounting flanges and a portion of the inlet ring protrudes into the impeller inlet inside the housing.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Thermo-Stor LLCInventors: Marco A. Tejeda, Michael J. Steffes, James A. Scharping, Jr., Richard G. Giallombardo, Jared M. Stearns

Patent number: 10619877Abstract: A portable dehumidifier includes a plurality of microchannel condenser coils, a fan, and a control panel. The fan is located adjacent to an airflow outlet and is configured to generate an airflow that flows into the portable dehumidifier through an airflow inlet and out of the portable dehumidifier through the airflow outlet. The airflow flows through an evaporator and the plurality of microchannel condenser coils in order to provide dehumidification to the airflow. The control panel includes a status bar that is configured to light up in a plurality of colors to permit an operator to view an operational status of the portable dehumidifier.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2017Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Therma-Stor LLCInventors: Todd R. DeMonte, Steven S. Dingle, Joshua William Henry, James A. Scharping, Jr., Jerome Verhoeven

Patent number: 10563888Abstract: A portable dehumidifier includes multiple microchannel condenser coils, a fan, a water reservoir, and a bracket. The fan is located adjacent to an airflow outlet and is configured to generate an airflow that flows into the portable dehumidifier through an airflow inlet and out of the portable dehumidifier through the airflow outlet. The airflow flows through an evaporator and the plurality of microchannel condenser coils in order to provide dehumidification to the airflow. The water reservoir is located at least partially below the evaporator and is configured to store water removed from the airflow. The water reservoir includes a top that is at least partially open to capture water falling from the evaporator. The bracket is coupled to a compressor and covers a portion of the open top of the water reservoir in order to prevent the water from spilling when the portable dehumidifier is tilted at an angle.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Therma-Stor LLCInventors: Todd R. DeMonte, Steven S. Dingle, Joshua William Henry, James A. Scharping, Jr., Jerome Verhoeven

The fan is located adjacent to an airflow outlet and is configured to generate an airflow that flows into the portable dehumidifier through an airflow inlet and out of the portable dehumidifier through the airflow outlet. The airflow flows through an evaporator and the plurality of microchannel condenser coils in order to provide dehumidification to the airflow. The plurality of microchannel condenser coils includes first and second microchannel condenser coils. The first microchannel condenser coil is located so as to receive the airflow after it has passed through the evaporator. The second microchannel condenser coil is located proximate to the first microchannel condenser coil on a side of the microchannel condenser coil so as to receive the airflow after it has passed through the first microchannel condenser coil.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2017Publication date: December 27, 2018Inventors: Todd R.
