  • Patent number: 4067206
    Abstract: A system for evaporating condensed moisture in an air conditioner includes an axial flow fan having an annular slinger ring which rotates through a sump in which moisture condensed at the evaporator collects, the slinger ring entraining moisture during rotation therethrough and centrifugally discharging the moisture upwardly along the side wall of the air conditioner housing, at increasing heights as the moisture level in the sump increases, the moisture flowing downwardly along the wall and being collected by a reservoir to which a conduit is connected for conveying and discharging the moisture at a lower elevation interior of the fan air stream so as to direct the moisture onto the condenser for evaporation thereat.
