Therm-O-Bench

               Presented by Team 4:
Cassian Whitehurst, Damon Grosso, and Suyoung Choi
Park Benches Now
O Heat up in sun
O Uncomfortable to sit on heated metal
O With continuous sunlight, users can run
  the risk of burn on bare legs
Therm-O-Bench
O Button on bench arm triggers cooling
  mechanism to cool the user

O Five minutes of continuous cold air project
  from the bench surfaces

O Keeps user cool and refreshed on a hot
  summer day
How will this work?
O A refrigerant in vapor form is sent into a
  compressor hidden in housing
O The compressed vapor has a higher
  temperature (because of the inverse
  relationship between pressure and
  temperature of gases)
O The hotter vapor is passed into a
  condenser and expansion valve (also
  hidden)
O The resultant liquid refrigerant is
  passed into tubes inside and directly
  outside the bench cooling the bench
  and its user.
Bench Construction
O The bench will be constructed from steel
  alloy
O Steel maintains a high thermal resistance
  with a low cost
O Titanium would be more ideal because of
  its higher thermal resistance, but is very
  expensive if many benches were to be
  produced.
Bench Logic
O This is the
  basic system
  logic that will
  allow the
  cooling system
  to communicate
  with the user
  input (button)
Marketability?
O The bench will primarily be marketed to
  parks and recreation departments of
  major urban cities
O Cities will have a greater need for a larger
  quantity of benches
O The will also be beneficial around
  recreational areas so they can cool down
  hard working athletes
Technologies We Need
O An easily cooled metal that is not heat
  conductant from which the bench frame
  will be constructed
O A small vapor compression refrigeration
  system that will attach to the seat and
  back rest of the bench to pump cold air
  through the bench to the user
Energy Efficiency
O The cooling mechanism will run for 5
  minutes continuously to prevent constant
  cooling without a user
O If the user is sitting for longer than 5
  minutes, they can simply repress the
  button
O Benches will be not operational during
  cold seasons to further conserve energy
