In an arrangement for cooling a refrigerated enclosure surrounded by top, bottom and side walls and cooled by a primary thermostatically controlled refrigeration system, an auxiliary cooling system comprising: a warm, heated enclosure including top, bottom and side walls; blower means mounted within said heated enclosure and having an inlet and an outlet; means defining an inlet opening in the walls of said heated enclosure; inlet conduit means connecting in fluid communication with inlet opening and said inlet of said blower means; intake means connecting in fluid communication said inlet opening and a source of cold air; means defining an outlet opening in the walls of said heated enclosure; outlet conduit means connecting in fluid communication said outlet opening and said outlet of said blower means; discharge means connecting in fluid communication said outlet opening and the interior of the refrigerated enclosure; and thermostatic means for controlling the turning on and off of said blower means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
111 words
A combination according to claim 1, wherein the primary refrigeration system includes a thermostat set to turn on the primary system to maintain a predetermined temperature of the air within the refrigerated enclosure, said thermostatic means including an outside thermostat responsive to the temperature of the cold air decreasing below a predetermined temperature to initiate the operation of said auxiliary cooling system, and an inside thermostat responsive to said outside thermostat and responsive to the temperature of the air within the refrigerated enclosure for controlling said blower means to maintain the temperature of the air within the refrigerated enclosure substantially below said predetermined temperature to render the primary refrigeration system inactive.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A combination according to claim 1, wherein said discharge outlet includes a diverter for guiding said cold air reversely backwardly to disperse said cold air.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
54 words
A combination according to claim 1, wherein said discharge outlet includes a discharge conduit, and said diverter includes a U-shaped strip adjustably attached to said discharge conduit over the distal end thereof, and a plate having reversely backwardly bent portions disposed transversely to the flow of cold air flowing out of said discharge conduit.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A combination according to claim 1, further including an insulated covering disposed over said blower means for retarding the formation of condensation thereon.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A combination according to claim 1, wherein said inlet conduit means includes a rigid metal conduit and an insulating sleeve disposed over said inlet conduit.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
102 words
A combination according to claim 1, wherein said intake means includes a hood having a horizontal opening, said hood having a pair of vertical side walls and a downwardly sloping top wall, a screen disposed within said inlet conduit, a damper disposed within said inlet conduit and pivotally attached thereto about its horizontal mid-plane axis, a weight connected to the lower portion of the damper to cause it to assume a vertical disposition when said blower means is deactivated, a filter disposed within said outlet conduit means, said thermostatic means including an outside thermostat, and a protective cover for said outside thermostat.
