An air temperature regulator is especially useful for cooling an airstream generated by an electric fan while permitting a portion of the airflow to flow substantially uninhibited to a user. The air temperature regulator utilizes at least one individual cell containing a phase-change material which has been chilled which is placed into a housing. The housing includes a mechanism for extracting the cell from its receiver so that the cell may be removed from the housing and refrozen. The extractors are mounted within a grille adjacent a track whereby extracted cells will prolapse to a collection bag at the bottom of the housing for refreezing and recycling.

A temperature controlling apparatus for attachment to a fan having rotatable propeller for generating an air stream, said apparatus comprising: a plurality of individual cells containing a phase-change material therein; and a housing adapted for mounting to said fan, said housing including means for releasably securing said cells in said airstream and having motive means for selectively releasing said cells from said securing means in said housing, said individual cells being arrayed peripherally in said airstream and defining an annular, substantially uninterrupted airway between said cells and said motive means.
