Definitions

  • Yet another object of the present invention is to pro- Vide an improved moisture disposal arrangement for a room air conditioner that is substantially noiseless in operation and is fully effective over the entire speed range or operation of the air conditioner impellers or blowers to thereby dispose of all moisture withdrawn from the air cooled by the air conditioner.
  • FIG. 9 is a top plan view of FIG. 7;
  • the room air conditioner is contained within the cabinet 10 divided by'the partition 11 into at least two compartments.
  • the evaporator coil 12 is mounted in a first one of the two compartments while the condenser coil 13 and refrigerant compressor 14- is mounted in a second one of the two compartments of the cabinet 10.
  • the condenser coil 13 is mounted in a side wall opening of the cabinet 19 so'as to permit a circulation. of air through the condenser coils for cooling the same.
  • An impeller or fan 15 is mounted Within the second compartment 26) of the cabinet 16 and is driven by an electric motor 16 in a direction to pump air from outside of the cabinet iii into the second compartment 26 and through the condenser coils 13 back out of the cabinet lit.
  • the speed of rotation for the fan from the air being cooled drips onto the pan 25 in the first compartment of the cabinet 10 and is conveyed by the pipe or hose 2:? through the partition 11 into, the 'second compartment 20 of the cabinet 10.
  • the moisture conveyed by the hose 26 is deposited on the floor 27 of the second compartment 20 where it flows underneath the condenser coils to collect in front of the fan 15.
  • an aspirator '40 is positioned on the wall of the shroud 30 adjacent the suc tionside thereof and the periphery of the fan.
  • the aspirator 40 is also spaced slightly above the base 27 of the air conditioner cabinet so that the condensate from the surface of the base 27 may be drawn as indicated by the arrow 41 up into the aspirator 49 where it is discharged into the flow of air sucked into the blades of the fan 15.
  • an opening 42 is provided in the wall of the shroud 30 to permit a limited amount of air under pressure from the second compartment 20 to flow as indicated by the arrows 43 into the aspirator 40.
  • the combined flow of air as indicated by boththe arrows 41 and 43 of FIG. of the drawings provides a strong aspirator suctionto aspirate the water from the base of the second compartment 20 up through the aspirator 40 and into the flow of air being sucked into the fan for all of the normal speeds of fan rotation.
  • no portion of the aspirator 40 is in physical contact with the blades of the fan 15 so that in the event that the condensate collected on the base of the second compartment 2% becomes frozen, the rotational movement of the fan 15 will not be impeded thereby. Under such circumstances, it should be obvious that the aspirator simply will not draw any condensate from the base of the second compartment of the air conditioner cabinet so long as the condensate on the base remains frozen.
  • the partial scroll or baffle member 50 is further provided with an inclined baffle or comb member 51 whichspreads the droplets of condensate and substantially disperses the condensate over all of the upper surfaces of the condenser coil 13.
  • aspirator means positioned on said shroud on the suction side thereof adjacent the periphery of said fan, an opening in'said shroud adjacent said aspirator to admit air under pressure from said second compartment to said aspirator'whereby said aspirator is effective to draw air and moisture from said second compartment into the air flow through the fan when the fan is rotating, dispersal means positioned to surround a peripheral portion of said fan within said. second compartment to disperse the moisture flung by said fan onto said condenser, and means to return unevaporated moisture from said condenser to said second compartment.
