VARIABLE SPEED, ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED, ROOM AIR CONDITIONER
First Claim
1. An air handling system for heating and/or cooling a room, the system comprising:
- a user interface for transmitting a sleep mode signal upon activation of a sleep mode by a user;
a climate control unit for heating and/or cooling air to be transported from the air conditioner to the room; and
a control unit for controlling the climate control unit to gradually change an ambient temperature in the room over a predetermined period of time in response to the sleep mode signal transmitted by the user interface.

Abstract
An air handling system for cooling and/or heating a room includes a sleep mode. The system includes a fan assembly to transport air from the system into the room. A user interface transmits a sleep mode signal upon activation of the sleep mode by a user. A control unit controls the climate control unit to gradually change an ambient temperature in the room over a predetermined period of time in response to the sleep mode signal transmitted by the user interface. Further, the fan assembly has a substantially continuously adjustable speed within a range of speeds defined by a predetermined upper limit and a predetermined lower limit. The control unit adjusts the speed of the fan assembly according to a desired speed of the fan assembly input via the user interface. A multi-position switch defines the predetermined upper and lower limits.
