PORTABLE HEATING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PEST CONTROL

摘要

A method for killing pests in an affected area of a structure, comprises positioning a heat pump unit within an affected area of the structure, coupling a first end of an inlet hose to a faucet, and coupling a second end of the inlet hose to an inlet port of the heat pump unit. The inlet port supplies a flow of water received from the faucet to an evaporator component of the heat pump unit. The evaporator component transfers heat from the flow of water to a refrigerant and communicate the refrigerant to a condenser component of the heat pump unit. The condenser component generates heated air by transferring heat from the refrigerant fluid to air flowing through the condenser component. The heated air i emitted into the affected area in order to raise the temperature of the affected area to a target temperature greater than 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

1. A method for killing pests in an affected area of a structure, comprising:
positioning a heat pump unit within an affected area of the structure; coupling a first end of an inlet hose to a faucet; coupling a second end of the inlet hose to an inlet port of the heat pump unit, the inlet port supplying a flow of water received from the faucet to an evaporator component of the heat pump unit, the evaporator component operable to:
transfer heat from the flow of water to a refrigerant;communicate the refrigerant to a condenser component of the heat pump unit, the condenser component configured to generate heated air by transferring heat from the refrigerant fluid to air flowing through the condenser component, the heated air being emitted into the affected area in order to raise the temperature of the affected area to a target temperature greater than 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
