Portable personal air-treatment system
First Claim
1. An air-treatment system comprising:
- an air-intake chamber and an air-exhaust chamber isolated and distinct from one another, and an air-treatment chamber interposed between said air-intake chamber and said air-exhaust chamber,said air-intake chamber comprising an air-intake port adapted for passage of ambient exterior intake air, a fan having a fan intake adjacent said air-intake port and having a fan exhaust, plenum structure having a plenum opening adjacent said fan exhaust said plenum structure terminating in least one upper-housing cover inlet aperture adapted for passage of said intake air exhausted from said fan exhaust,said air-treatment chamber comprising a lower housing having at least one lower-housing inlet aperture corresponding to and in alignment with said at least one upper-housing cover inlet aperture adapted for placing said air-treatment chamber in closed fluid-flow communication with said air-intake chamber, a removable canister assembly comprising at least one heat-conductible, fillable, sealable canister adapted for containing a heat-exchange substance, disposed to permit air flow therearound, and a lower-housing outlet aperture adapted for placing said air-treatment chamber in alignment with said exhaust-air chamber;
said air-exhaust chamber comprising an exhaust-air port adapted for placing said air-exhaust chamber in fluid-flow communication with the environment exteriorly of said air-exhaust chamber and a conduit extending from said exhaust-air port through said lower-housing outlet aperture adapted for placing said air-treatment chamber and said air-exhaust chamber in closed fluid communication with one another;
wherein said air enters said air-treatment chamber through said lower-housing intake aperture and said air exits said air-treatment chamber through said lower-housing outlet aperture; and
wherein said fan urges said ambient intake air on a closed pathway into and through said plenum structure and through said at least one upper housing cover inlet aperture and said lower housing cover inlet aperture creating pressurized said air that circulates about said at least one heat-conductible, fillable, sealable canister thereby maximizing heat exchange therebetween wherein resulting pressurization urges treated said air outwardly of said air-exhaust chamber though said lower housing outlet aperture.

Abstract
An air-treatment system comprises an air-intake chamber in fluid-flow communication with an air-treatment chamber and an air-exhaust chamber in fluid-flow communication with said air-treatment chamber. The air-intake chamber has an air-intake port placing said air-intake chamber in fluid-flow communication with an environment exteriorly of said air-intake chamber, said air-treatment chamber, and said air-exhaust chamber. The air-exhaust chamber has an exhaust-air port placing said air-exhaust chamber in fluid-flow communication with the environment exteriorly of said air-intake chamber, said air-treatment chamber, and said air-exhaust chamber. A canister assembly removably disposed within said air-intake chamber comprises a plurality of heat-conductable canisters each adapted for containing a heat-exchange substance. The canisters are disposed in spaced-apart arrangement permitting air flow between and around the canisters. A fan is disposed for drawing in air through said air-intake port, circulating said air between and around said canisters and exhausting said air through said exhaust-air port.
