1. A portable air conditioning system comprising:
- a housing defining an air inlet, an air outlet and an air flow passage extending therebetween;
air conditioning means disposed to condition air circulating through said flow passage, said air conditioning means comprising a first filter and a second filter arranged in series so as to sequentially filter air circulating through said flow passage;
fan means retained by said housing and activatable to draw air through said air inlet, move air through said flow passage and said filter, and discharge air through said air outlet;
electrically powered driver means coupled to said fan means and energizable to provide said activation of said fan means; and
control means comprising processor means for monitoring and recording elapsed time data during periods in which said fan means is activated to move air, a first elapsed time indicator for indicating one value of elapsed time data for said first filter, and a second elapsed time indicator for indicating another value of elapsed time data for said second filter.

Abstract
A portable air purifier including a housing defining an air inlet, an air outlet and an air flow passage extending therebetween; a filter mechanism disposed to filter air circulating through the flow passage; and a fan retained by the housing and activatable to draw air through the air inlet, move air through the flow passage and filter mechanism, and discharge air through the air outlet. An electrically powered drive mechanism is energizable to activate the fan and a control system including a processor monitors and records elapsed time data during periods in which the fan is activated to move air.

18. A portable air conditioning system comprising:
-
a housing defining an air inlet, an air outlet and an air flow passage extending therebetween; air conditioning means disposed to condition air circulating through said flow passage, said air conditioning means comprising filter means for filtering air circulating through said flow passage; fan means retained by said housing and activatable to draw air through said air inlet, move air through said flow passage and said filter, and discharge air through said air outlet; electrically powered driver means coupled to said fan means and energizable to provide said activation of said fan means; and control means comprising processor means for monitoring and recording elapsed time data during periods in which said fan means is activated to move air, elapsed time indicator means for indicating a given value of said elapsed time data, and remaining life indicator means for indicating a predetermined time period equal to a difference between a current said value of said elapsed time data and an anticipated original effective life expectancy of said filter means. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
