  • Patent number: 5036677
    Abstract: An air conditioner having improved internal structure and intended specifically for cooling electronic enclosures has a cabinet containing a compresser, evaporator and condenser coils, a load air blower, an ambient air blower, and a single motor connected to both blowers. The interior of the cabinet is divided by upper and lower horizontal dividers into upper, central and lower compartments. The upper compartment is divided into a separate ambient air intake compartment and a separate load air intake compartment with both blowers and the motor being in the load intake compartment. The evaporator coil and the ambient intake compartment and associated structure are asymetrical as is the compresser installation. The load air inlet and outlet are on the back, the ambient inlet is on a side and the ambient outlet is on the bottom. This new air conditioner is of exceptionally small physical size for its cooling capacity and is relatively quiet and easy to manufacture.
