Mist Dispersal System for Air Conditioners
First Claim
1. A mist dispersal system for dispersing a mist onto a condenser'"'"'s heat transfer coils, comprising:
- a) a fluid supply line, said fluid supply line being capable of transferring a fluid from a fluid source;
b) at least one fluid distribution line, said at least one fluid distribution line being capable of transferring said fluid;
c) A filter, said filter being positioned for allowing fluid to transfer throughout the mist dispersal system, said filter functioning to provide a coating for said condenser'"'"'s heat transfer coils from said fluid, said filter configured to stop the transfer of fluid when said filter can no longer provide said coating;
d) a distribution manifold, said distribution manifold configured to select one of the at least one fluid distribution line to receive fluid;
e) a valve, said valve being capable of actuation to periodically block the fluid from traveling to said at least one distribution line, wherein actuation of said valve may be controlled;
f) at least one mist sprayer;
said at least one mist sprayer connected to said at least one distribution line and configured to receive fluid from said at least one distribution line, said at least one mist sprayer located to disperse a mist over the condenser'"'"'s heat transfer coils, thereby increasing the efficiency of the air cooling unit.

Abstract
An apparatus for increasing the efficiency of air conditioning units, and methods of improving the efficiency of the air cooling function in air conditioners is disclosed by dispersing a water or vapor mist onto the heat transfer coils of a condenser used in an air cooling unit to effectively and efficiently reduce the use of power by the condenser and reduce the time the condenser must run. The apparatus includes fluid lines and a filter, the function of which is to remove particulate matter from the fluid, prevent scale formation, and provide a coating on the surface of certain parts of the condenser. The filter is configured to stop the flow of fluid when the filter can no longer provide these functions.
