  • Patent number: 5444990
    Abstract: The present invention involves package air conditioner and heat pump units. The unit has a housing containing a compressor, an outdoor section with blower and heat exchanger, and an indoor section with blower and heat exchanger. The indoor section has two interchangeable removable panels, one removable panel defining a supply port and a second removable panel defining a return port. The return and supply ports of the housing are reversible because of the unique blower assembly which has a blower attached to the second panel. The blower assembly is adapted to be disposed in at least two positions in said housing. With this arrangement, the return port and the supply port are reversible by switching the position of the first panel and the blower assembly.

  • Patent number: 4474232
    Abstract: A heat exchange unit is disclosed which is capable of being mounted either in a vertical or horizontal position. A condensate pan including multiple drain openings each serving a particular position is additionally disclosed. A cover plate secures the condensate pan by providing a drain projection opening into which a projection from the condensate pan may extend. A drip pan for coacting with the condensate pan is provided when the unit is mounted in the horizontal position.

  • Patent number: 4465499
    Abstract: An assembly is provided for securing a pair of filter supports to support structure defined by the casing of an air handling unit and for selectively providing flanges for securing a duct to the casing. The filter support includes a filter channel having a channel portion for securing a filter and having a flange portion. The filter support may be mounted in a first position with the flange portion not extending beyond the end of the unit and in a second position with the flange portion extending beyond the end of the unit for promoting connections to a duct. Additionally, duct angles are provided having flanges extending therefrom. The duct angles are mounted to have the flanges extend inwardly when the filter channel does not extend beyond the unit and are mounted to extend outwardly to coact with the flange portions of the filter channels when it is desired to connect a duct to the unit.

  • Patent number: 4410033
    Abstract: A heat exchange unit is disclosed having a combination coupling retainer and support. This combination coupling retainer and support acts to both secure a suction line coupling and a liquid line coupling connected to the appropriate headers of the heat exchanger and to provide structural support for the heat exchange unit. The coupling retainer and support includes a suction line opening for securing the suction line coupling therein and a liquid line slot in an arcuate configuration adapted to secure the liquid line coupling. This combination retainer and support is capable of being used in various units with heat exchangers mounted at differing angles, the suction line coupling serving as a pivot point and the liquid line coupling being positioned within the liquid line slot to secure the various components.
