Abstract
A system for supplying air to a discrete space to obtain a desired set point temperature within the space includes a plurality of units for conditioning the air in the space. Each of the units has an independent electric power supply cord for connection to a source of electrical power. One of the units includes a master control and another of said units includes a slave control. The master control includes a user temperature control to establish a desired set point temperature within the discrete space. Each of the units includes its own thermostat for sensing the ambient temperatures in the area of the discrete space immediately adjacent the respective units. Each of the units has its own communication device, which enables the master control on the one unit to simultaneously vary the operation of each of the units in inverse proportion to the sensed ambient temperatures to substantially uniformly condition the temperature of the air in the discrete space.
