연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

In certain embodiments, a packaged terminal device for killing pests in an affected area includes a housing configured to be positioned at least partially within an affected area, a fan positioned within the housing, and one or more heating elements positioned within the housing. The fan is operable to draw a flow of air from the affected area into the housing. The one or more heating elements are operable to generate heated air by transferring heat to the flow of air. The packaged terminal device further includes a control unit operable to control the operation of the one or more heating elements in order to cause the packaged terminal device to operate in either a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, the operation of the one or more heating elements is controlled such that sufficient heated air is generated to heat at least a portion of the affected area to a temperature less than or equal to a first predefined temperature. In the second mode, the operation of the one or more heating elements is controlled such that sufficient heated air is generated to heat at least a portion of the affected area to a temperature greater than or equal to a second predefined temperature, the second predefined temperature being greater than the first predefined temperature.

The method of claim 1, wherein the first mode of operation comprises a normal mode of operation suitable for human occupants and the first predefined temperature is less than or equal to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving from an override selector user input indicating a desire to operate in the first mode of operation or the second mode of operation, and wherein: the first mode of operation being selected by inserting and turning a key to a first position of the override selector; andthe second mode of operation being selected by inserting and turning the key to a second position of the override selector. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving from an override selector user input indicating a desire to operate in the first mode of operation or the second mode of operation, and wherein: the first mode of operation is selected by entering a first code into a keypad of the override selector; andthe second mode of operation is selected by entering a second code into the keypad of the override selector. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving a signal from one or more temperature probes within the affected area while the second mode of operation is selected; anddischarging heated air into the affected area until the affected area reaches a target temperature. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the target temperature is greater than or equal to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the housing is configured to be installed in an opening of an exterior wall of the affected area, the indoor chamber positioned on an interior side of the exterior wall, the outdoor chamber positioned on an exterior side of the exterior wall. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein: during the first mode of operation, limiting, by a first fuse, the electric current supplied to the one or more heating elements; andduring the second mode of operation, limiting, by a second fuse, the electric current supplied to the one or more heating elements, the second fuse permitting more electrical current than the first fuse. 9. A method for killing pests in an affected area, comprising: during a first mode of operation, using a packaged terminal device comprising a housing having an indoor chamber and an outdoor chamber to generate a sufficient amount of heated air to heat at least a portion of the affected area to a temperature, less than or equal to a first predefined temperature, the first predefined temperature associated with a safety limit and comprising a maximum temperature suitable for human occupants;receiving, by a control unit, a user input indicating a desire to transition the packaged terminal device from the first mode of operation to a second mode of operation;transitioning the packaged terminal device to the second mode of operation;during the second mode of operation, drawing by a first fan positioned within the indoor chamber of the packaged terminal device, a first flow of air from the affected area into the indoor chamber of the housing;during the second mode of operation, drawing by a second fan positioned within the outdoor chamber of the packaged terminal device, a second flow of air from an area outside the affected area into the outdoor chamber of the housing; andduring the second mode of operation, using the packaged terminal device to generate an additional amount of heated air to heat the at least the portion of the affected area to a temperature greater than or equal to a second predefined temperature;wherein the second mode of operation is a pest killing mode that is not suitable for human occupants and the second predefined temperature is greater than or equal to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. 10.
