  • Patent number: 10569621
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a casing for an air conditioning unit including a main body, a door, a passing defining member, and a drain channel. The main body includes a fresh-air passage and a recirculation-air passage. The recirculation-air passage is positioned below the fresh-air passage. The door selectively opens and closes a communication hole through which the fresh-air passage and the recirculation-air passage are in fluid communication with each other. The passage defining member is disposed upstream of the communication hole and defines a lower side of the fresh-air passage. The drain channel extends from the passage defining member to a space outside of the recirculation-air passage to discharge condensed water generated in the fresh-air passage.
