  • Patent number: 4129013
    Abstract: An air-conditioning unit with a blower section and an adjacent refrigerant evaporator coil section is adapted to be disposed for airflow through the unit in an upflow, counterflow, or horizontal flow direction by arranging the evaporator coil, and a drip pan separable from both the coil and the coil section, with the drip pan located in any of the four interior corners which extend from front to rear of the unit. The coil has a frame assembly with members at the ends of the fins of the evaporator coil provided with openings for passing condensate into the drain pan, the arrangement being such that either end of the coil may be received within the drain pan. The arrangement also includes the provision of means for supporting the coil from the drain pan in a pivotal engagement to accommodate the difference in angle at which the coil projects from the drain pan in accordance with whether the positioning of the unit is vertical or horizontal.
