(01. 62129) Another object is to provide a structure with improved facility for production assembly, and for subsequent inspection and repair.

Afurther obiect is to provide a cabinet type unit in which the cabinet and its internal mechanism are each completely assembled as separate units.

Still another obect is the reduction of machine sound emanating from the air duct in the machine compartment.

Previous to this invention, the various types of self-containedair conditioners have been designed and manufactured as assemblies of conventional refrigeration machine elements within a cabinet. Inthese structures, standard condensing units are not used. Instead, the usual structure is assembled by the separate attachment of each refrigeration machine partito the cabinet, or its frameworn'whereupon the said elements are then connected functionally with .belts, tubing, wires, etc. Then after a special, in-

dividual assembly of the complete mechanism is 4 made within the cabinet, or its framework, the nal operating test lsmade- In these convenonal structures, the required components of standard condensing units such as compressors. motors, condensers, receivers, shut-oi! valves, etc. ar'e mounted and securedseparately in special individual relationships as. designed to fit their respective cabinet structures. 7

- Standard -condensing*units comprising the above listed elements assembled in compact functional relationship ready for operation as a. unit are ma'nufautured and sold to the refrigeration industry for a wide variety of applications. Standard condensing units have been assembled into other self-contained refrigeration machines previous to this invention, but never before has a self-contained, air-cooled portable air conditioner been made to incorporate a standard aircooled condensing unit.

This invention originates the completelyportable air-cooled unitary air conditionerconiprising .a standard air-cooled condensing unit.'.".This is an important advantage, particularly to man ufacturers of unitary air conditioners who do not manufacture refrigeration compressors or;condensing units, because these manufactureres may then purchase as a complete mechanical unit, the several essential refrigeration elements, .assembled, tested, and guaranteed ready for assembly, as a single unit in the air conditioner. It is also an advantage to the manufacturer orstandard condensing units. for it eliminates the additional expense and duplication of assembly eiiort that would otherwise be required if a special assembly of standard condensing unit elements were made within the framework or cabinet of. each model of portable airconditioner.

nism within,

standard condensing units carry theadvanq tage of having been tested and approved bythe Underwriters Laboratories, Incorporated, as a guarantee of conformance totheinsurance underwriters standards of safe y. When a condensing unit so approved is assembled into. an air conditioner, the air conditioner then carries the guaranteed standard of quality of themecha- I since thecondensing unit is,the fundamental mechanism of the air conditioner. This is a self-evident advantage that .hasnot heretofore been obtained in air-cooled unit air conditioners.

This invention originates the practical application of integral horsepower. air-cooled condensing units to portable unitary air conditioners. Previous to this invention, air conditioners of this type required permanent cooling air duct connections to outside air, which precluded ortability. The heat dissipation. surface required in the condensers of one, two, and three horse power condensing units for air conditioning is so large that this invention was. necessary to make units of this size completely self-contained and independent of external air duct' connections. For industrial applications, and.installations within large ofllces, which require integral horsepower air conditioners positioned far from any outside wall of a large room, this invention oifers the important advantage of eliminating the tgequirement of specially installed cooling air duc This invention includes the structure of an air conditioner cabinet wherein the entire internal mechanism is assembled on, and attached to, one horizontal cabinet partition which is readily assembled in, and removed from, the cabinet. On the upper side of this removable partition, 9. standard air-cooled condensing unit is assembled, on the under side is assembled the cooling coil and its air circulating fan. This complete assembly is made on the partition as a unit, outside of the cabinet, on a separate assembly line, where it is operated and tested, and then assembled within the cabinet as the final operation. This structure provides a great improvement in the facility of assembly over that of the air conditioners which require the mechanism assembly to be made within the confines of a cabinet structure. In quantity production it is a disadvantage to be required to make complicated assemblies within the confines of an enclosing framework or cabinet. Final inspection and testing are made more difiicult and less emcient by the concealing of the mechanism within a cabinet. Subsequent repairing is also greatly handicapped. This invention eliminates these dimcuities and handicaps by making possible the complete functioning mechanism assembly on a fiat horizontal member, unobstructed from all sides as well as the top and bottom.

The structure in this invention which provides for the cabinet to be completely fabricated and assembled as a unit, and likewise the internal mechanism to be completely assembled and functionally tested as a unitary structure, is a great improvement over the types of air conditioners which cannot be so assembled into two unitary structures before being finally Joined as one. In quantity production of this invention there is one assembly line for complete mechanisms, and one for each type of cabinet. Identical mechanisms may be assembled into cabinets of different materials, difierent finishes, and different sizes. For instances, the horsepower mechanism may be assembled into an expensive polished mahogany cabinet for a luxurious living room. or it may be assembled into a low-priced metal cabinet for cooling partitioned oflice enclosures in a large factory. Another advantage of this structure is the facility with which the mechanical unit may be replaced by servicemen who bring a replacement unit for exchange. The unitary air conditioners built previous to this invention do not have these advantages. v

The assembly line arranged for assembling the mechanical unit of this invention may comprise two parallel conveyor chains on horizontal tracks spaced to accommodate two opposite sides of the cabinet partitions to which the condensing unit, cooling coil, and other mechanism parts are assembled. The tracks may be fixed at such height that a workman may in a standing position assemble the condensing unit on top of the partition, and a workman in a seated position may be at a convenient position to assemble the cooling coils, expansion valves, fans, etc., which are attached to the lower side of the partition. This method of assembly is readily applicable to a production of 200 or more complete air conditioner mechanisms per day. A large production capacity of these units is highly desirable because of the seasonal nature of the market demand. It is sometimes desirable to concentrate a year's production into the few months that meet the purchasers orders.

In the air conditioner structures prior to this invention, of the type which maintain a cool stratum of air in the lower part of a room while discharging the heat extracted therefrom into the upper stratum of the room, no special provision is made for preventing the operating sound from freely escaping from the air ducts through which cooling air is circulated to the compressor compartment. It is very desirable to construct machines of this type to have a minimum of running sound outside of the unit. This invention gains the advantage of much sound reduction through the use of a series of flat pieces of sound absorbent material spaced parallel in each cooling air duct of the air conditioner, and parallel to the desired direction of air flow. The structure of this invention thereby attains quieter operation than do the other structures of this type of air conditioner that are known to the art.

The above and other objects and advantages of the invention will more fully appear from the following description made in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the views, and, in which:

26, fan 21, receiver 28,

To the under side of the partition I! is se-v cured a cooling coil 30 by means of bolts 3|, and an expansion valve 32. An electric fan 33 is secured also to the partition I! by means of a'bracket 34. A shallow pan 35 is attached to the cooling coil 39 for collecting condensed water vapor.

A fan shroud 36 provided with an opening collar 31 is attached to the condenser 30 and partition I! to cause the air drawn b the fan 33 to pass through the cooling coil 30. A shroud 36, as shown attached in Figure 5 to a complete air conditioner mechanism, makes it possible to test the mechanism as shown outside of its cabinet. The shroud 36 may be assembled temporarily for purposes of testing the mechanism in the absence of the cabinet which may be constructed to function as a fan shroud, or it may be included as a permanent part of the mechanism structure for the purpose of facilitating subsequent inspection and testing of an exposed mechanism.

In each side of the cabinet I5 is a cool air intake grill 38, behind which is a replaceable type air filter 39. The air to be cooled enters grills 38, passes through filters 39, and the cooling coil 30 to replace the cooled air discharged from the cabinet by the fan 33. The cabinet I5 is provided with a front opening including a grill 40 so located as to register with the shroud collar 31, when the complete mechanism shown in Figure 5 is assembled into the cabinet 15. The cooled air is discharged by the fan 33 through this front opening of the cabinet as indicated by the air flow arrows.

The upper portion of the cabinet back panel I6 is provided with an opening including a gril1 4| in register with the condenser 29, which provides the air inlet for cooling air for the condenser 29 and the entire mechanism of the standard condensing unit. In the top of the cabinet shown in Figures 1 and 2, is a pluralit of narrow openings spaced by a corresponding number of flat, parallel pieces 42 of sound absorbing material such as Celotex. The pieces 42 are spaced to provide openings for the discharge of cooling air that has been drawn through the condenser 29 by the condensing unit fan 27. The direction of cooling air flow is indicated by arrows. The parallel pieces 42 serve dualpurposes of, first, sound absorption to reduce the amount of mechanism operating sound leaving the cabinet, and, second, to direct the expelled, warmed air vertically to the upper air stratum of the room in which the air conditioner is operating.

The parallel pieces 42 are constructed of varying widths extending vertically into the condensing unit compartment of the cabinet. The

narrowest width is closest to the air inlet grill 4| cabinet I5 is provided ment or the invention is shown, which comprises a in Figure 9.

and condenser 29, and the series of succeeding pieces are of progressively increased width. This structure comprises a strong inherent tendency for equalizing the volumes of air flowing from each narrow aperture between the parallel pieces The cabinet I5 is provided with a base 43,,for enclosing the bottom of the cooling coil compartment above it. The back panel l6 has its lower end at a junction with the base 43. A sub-base 44 is under the base 43 providing a 'spaccfor a water pan 45. To the sub-base 43 are attached casters 46 for facilitating portability of the air conditioning unit. A short vertical tube 41 opening into the pan 35 provides passage for condensate from the may 'befreely removed for periodic emptying.

In Figures 6, 7, 8, 9' and 10 a second embodia different type of a standard condensing unit. In each of these five figures like numerals refer to like parts.

A cabinet .48 is provided with a removable rear panel 49 and a horizontal partition 59. j A standard condensing unit comprising a direct connected integral motor-compressor unit 5|, condenser 52, fan 53for circulating cooling air, mounted on a base 55 is assembled on top of the partition 50 and secured by bolts 56.

On the under side of the partition 50 is secured a cooling coil 51, expansion valve 58, and two cool Two angles 62 are permanently inside surface of the side panels of the cabinet 48, for the purposeof supporting and securing the partition 50 within the cabinet. in Figure 10 are assembled as shown to the-partition 50 outside of the cabinet. The complete, functionally operable mechanism assembly shown in Figure 10 is then with its rear panel 49 removed by sliding it onto the angles 62 and locating the assembly as shown The mechanism is the cabinet by means of partition 50 to the angles 62.

In the top of the cabinet 48 shown in, '7 and 9, at each end is a plurality of narrow openings spaced by a corresponding number of substantially vertical, flat,

parallel pieces

64 and 65 of sound absorbing materia1 such as Celotex. The pieces 64 are spaced to provide openings for cooling air drawn by the fan 53 into the cabinet for the cooling condenser 52 and motor-compressor unit 5|. The pieces 64 are of progressively increased width with the narrowest piece closest to the condenser for the dual purpose of equalizing the distribution of cooling air to the surface of the condenser 52, and for absorbing sounds of the operating mechanism.

The sound absorbing pieces 65 are spaced to provide openings for the discharge of cooling air that has been drawn in between the pieces 64, through the condenser 52 and'over the motorcompressor unit 5|. These pieces are also 01' progressively increased width with the narrowest piece closest to the condenser, but are arranged thus in width and spacing for the dual purpose of first, sound absorption to reduce the amount of mechanism operating sound leaving the cabinet, and second, to direct the expelled warm air vertically to the upper air stratum of the room in which the air conditioner is operating.

In the cool air chamber of the cabinet 48 under pan 35 to the pan 45. The pan 45 attached to the The parts shown Figures the partition 88, the two fans 88 register with cool air discharge grills 68 in the front panel of the cabinet 88. A plurality of cool air circulating fans provide for the circulation and distribution of a larger cool air stratum than can be circulated and distributed by a single fan. Partitions 81 are positioned and secured between the walls of the cabinet and the ends of the condenser 51 for the purpose of causing all cooled air drawn into the cabinet by fans 88 to be directed through the condenser 81.

The side panels of the cabinet 88 are provided with cool air intake grills 88 behind which are removable air filters 88 for filtering the dust particles from the cool air stratum of a room as it is circulated by the fans 58.

Similar to the air conditioner shown in Figures 2 and 4, the embodiment of this invention shown in Figures 6 and 9 is provided with a base 18 for enclosing the bottom of the cooling coil compartment above it. The back panel 48 has at its lower end a junction with the base 18. A subbase 1| is'under the base 18 providing a space for a water pan 12. To the sub-base 1| are attached casters 13 for facilitating portability of the air conditioning unit. A short vertical tube 14 opening into the pan 8|, provides passage for condensate from the pan 6| to the pan 12. The pan 12 may be freely removed for periodic emptying.

Figures 11, 12, 13 and 14 show a third embodiment of this invention which is particularly applicable to the integral horsepower sizes of aircooled refrigeration condensing unit-s. In all four figures, like numerals indicate like parts.

Figure 11 shows the outside front view of a cabinet 18 enclosing the mechanism of a selfcontained air conditioner. The rear view is practically identical except for screws 15a holding the removable rear panel 15b in place, and an opening beneath the lower panel for accessibility to a condensate collection pan 18.

Identical cool air intake grills 11 are in the front and rear panels of the cabinet, and also there are similar identical cool air intake grills 18 on each side of the cabinet. Behind the front and rear intake grills 11 are air filters 18, and behind the grills 18 are air filters 88. At the lower part of both the front and rear of the cabinet are cool air discharge grills 8|, and at the lower part of the side panels of the cabinet are similar cool air discharge grills 82. Thus it will be seen that this embodiment of the invention is adapted for circulating the lower stratum of cooled air in a room by drawing air in on all four sides of the cabinet and discharging it also on all four sides of the cabinet at once. When this type of unit is centrally located in a large room it will provide substantially equal cool air circulation in the lower air stratum of the entire room.

In the interior of the cabinet 18 is a horizontal removable partition 83 mounted on angles 88 which are permanently secured to the side panels of the cabinet. The partition 83 is secured in its assembled position by bolts 85. In its assembled position it divides the inside of the cabinet 18 into an upper chamber through which the condenser cooling air is circulated, and a lower chamber through which air to be cooled is circulated.

On the upper side of the partition 83 a standard unitary condensing unit is secured by means of bolts 88 through its base 81. The condensing unit includes a motor-compressor unit 88, fan 88, receiver 8|, and two condensers 82 mounted on the base 81. On the lower side of the partition 88 is suspended a cooling coil 88 by means of brackets 88. An expansion valve 88 meters refrigerant from the receiver 8| to the cooling coil 88. A pan 88 is attached to the coil 88 to cause the air entering the grills 11 and 18 to flow through the coil 88.

A centrifugal fan 81 driven by a motor 81a is disposed beneath a circular opening centrally located in the pan 88, and arranged to draw air through the coil 83 and discharge it through the grills 8| and 82. Condensate falling from the coil 88 either falls into the fan 81. or is directed there by the pan 88, from which it is thrown by centrifugal force to a trough 88 which extends around the inside of the cabinet 18. From the trough 88 condensate is drained through a tube 88 to the condensate pan 18. In an optional installation drain the tube 88 may be connected directly to a permanent external drain pipe (not shown). The fan motor 81a is suspended from and attached to pan 88 by brackets 880.. A sub-base |8| provides a chamber for the condensate pan 18 and to it are attached casters I82.

At each end of the top panel of the cabinet 18 is shown an opening including four vertical flat pieces I83 of sound absorbing material such as Celotex." These pieces are spaced to make slotted openings for the inlet and outlet of air for cooling the condensers 82 and the motor-compressor unit 88 similar to those shown in Figure 9. The fan 88 draws cooling air into the left hand opening shown at the top of the cabinet in Figure 12, through the left hand condenser 82, and blows it out over the right hand condenser 82 which is connected in the refrigerant circuit in counterfiow series with the first condenser so that the refrigerant flows between the condensers in a direction opposite to the air flow through them.

In the third embodiment of this invention shown in Figures 11, 12, 13 and 14 the entire refrigeration and air circulating system, with the exception of the fan 81 and its motor 81a, is attached to the removable partition 83, to which it is assembled and tested in a factory assembly line before it is assembled as a unit within the cabinet 15.

It will, of course, be understood that various changes may be made in the form, arrangement, proportions and details of the various parts without departing from the scope of my invention.
