Abstract: A personal cooling device for reducing the temperature within an area immediately surrounding a person. The personal cooling device includes at least one heat exchanger that is connected to a supply of water within a home or building. When desired, the water supply flows through the heat exchanger to cool an airflow passing over the heat exchanger. The cooled airflow is directed into the personal space to cool the air within the personal space. The airflow that passes over the heat exchanger is created by a fan assembly that is selectively activated by the user to create the cooled airflow into the personal space. The personal cooling device thus relies upon the water supply within the home or building to cool an airflow.
