A micro environmental control system that can remove or add 30W from or to the near range personal microenvironment of a user. For cooling, the μΧ uses a micro vapor compression system during the un-occupied period to freeze a phase-change-material in a thermal storage module. A fan then moves air over the phase-change-material to deliver cooled air. Heating is delivered by a small electric heater integrated into a condensing unit, The resulting system is inexpensive to build and uses a limited amount of energy. |
