Abstract: Strainer Apparatus for mounting within a tube, the apparatus comprising a strainer element having a cylindrical body portion and a conical end portion and a retainer having two concentric spaced cylindrical surfaces between which the strainer element is fastened, and a resilient collar containing a multiplicity of openings, said collar having an outside diameter greater than the internal diameter of the tube whereby upon insertion into the tube the collar is compressed forming a tight fit with the tube and holding the strainer apparatus stationary within the tube.

Abstract: Apparatus in an air conditioning unit to provide for circulation of evaporator condensate preventing the formation of pockets of cold condensate which cause exterior condensation on the unit, the apparatus comprising a reservoir area for the collection of condensate, a condenser fan shroud dividing the reservoir into two parts and sluiceways within the shroud defining a path for circulation of the condensate communicating with the reservoir, and a powered rotatable fan which creates air pressure differentials which cause the condensate in the reservoir to circulate.
