[001] The disclosed subject matter relates generally to air conditioning device. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a smart thermoelectric air conditioning device configured to be operated in multiple modes.
BACKGROUND
[002] Conventional cooling devices like air conditioners typically requires the expansion and compression of gases, such as Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) and Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC's) to effect the absorption of heat to reduce the temperature of a coolants flowing in association therewith. The conventional air conditioning devices operates on a coolant which causes to the emission of harmful gases. The emission of harmful gases are gradually increases in response to the ejection of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) and Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC's) by the air conditioners. The emission of the harmful gases (greenhouse gases) leads to the global warming and ozone depletion. The depletion of the ozone layer increases the amount of ultraviolet radiation on the earth, which in turn may affect the health of humans and animals.
[003] The conventional air conditioning devices are designed with vapor compression refrigeration. The conventional air conditioning devices are difficult for the installation and to carry because of heavy weight. The conventional air conditioning devices cools the entire room instead of cooling only personal space where it is required. Current air conditioning devices are operated by the engine via belt drive. The malfunctioning problems may arise from clogged air filters, furnace blower or evaporator coils. The malfunctioning of the furnace blower, such as from a blown fuse or a broken drive belt, may also cause failure of the device. Currently, there is no ecofriendly portable air conditioning devices with multiple modes of operations.
[004] In the light of the aforementioned discussion, there exists a need for a certain device with novel methodologies that would overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages.
