Abstract
A process for conditioning a golf green which preferably is constructed in accordance with the specifications of the United States Golf Association. In this process, air is blown at a flow rate of from about 250 to about 1000 cubic feet per minute onto the top surface of the golf green while simultaneously withdrawing air from said vent side of the main feeder line at a flow rate of from about 250 to about 1,000 cubic feet per minute. A first blower disposed at a distance of less than 30 inches above the golf green is used to blow such air onto the top surface of the green, and the first blower is connected to an air conditioning unit which contains a second blower containing of blower blades and a motor for rotating the blower blades to draw air in a first direction, and expel air in a second direction, a shroud mounted adjacent the second blower, an evaporator coil positioned near the blower within the shroud, a condenser coil operatively positioned within the shroud between the evaporator coil and the second blower, and a compressor operatively connected to the evaporator coil and the condenser coil. The input port of the air conditioning unit is operatively connected to the vent side of the main feeder line.
