Rotating air conditioner and method

摘要

A rotating air conditioner apparatus and method comprising an elongated shaft, whereby one or more of a condenser coil, an evaporator coil, and a compressor rotate around the elongated shaft. In one embodiment, balancing weights rotate with the shaft and are positioned to prevent uneven rotation of rotating air conditioner during operation. The evaporator and condenser contain a plurality of fins and/or fan blades and coils for refrigerant. Inlets and/or adjustably directed outlets on the evaporator and/or the condenser provide for circulation of air through the rotating air conditioner apparatus.
