  • Publication number: 20130130611
    Abstract: This invention is a modular all-season air conditioner cover (for ground supported or window supported A/C units). The cover includes fixed side wall intake air louvers interleaved around the main cover assembly side walls to shield the air condition unit from the outdoor elements without restricting intake air flow toward the A/C coils. In each embodiment of the invention, a plurality of interleaved exhaust face louvers having overlapping depending edges are included, that are both used to channel rain water away from the air condition unit and are free to articulate to and away from the A/C fan air exit face grate and the adjacent surfaces of the main cover assembly to which they are attached. The articulated louvers are moved from a resting to an open position by air pressure from the fan driven cooling air being drawn through the A/C unit coils.
