The compressed refrigerant is discharged into a condenser l8 through the line 20. The condensed refrigerant is supplied to the evaporator through the liquid line 22 in which there is provided a conventional pressure reducing means 24 such as a fixed restricter, a thermostatic expansion valve or any other type of suitable control.
The cabinet ID is provided with a first air outlet 26 through which one stream of air is discharged into the outside atmosphere and a second air outlet 28 through which the conditioned air is discharged into the room or enclosure to be conditioned. The outlets 26 and 28 are preferably provided with adjustable louvers 30 which may be set to direct the outgoing air either upwardly or downwardly in accordance with wellknown practice. By virtue of this construction, the louvers 30 provided in the conditioned air outlet 28 may be set to discharge the cooled air upwardly during the cooling cycle and ma be set to discharge the heated air downwardly during the heating cycle. In order to simplify the disclosure, the construction of the louver operating means has not been shown as the details thereof form no part of this invention.
The cabinet I 0 is divided intoa condenser compartment 32, an evaporator compartment 34 and a plenum chamber 36 by means of the vertical partitions 38 and 40. A fan motor 42 is disposed substantially centrally within the plenum chamber 36 and is arranged to drive a first fan 44 which pulls air in over the evaporator and a second fan 46 which pulls air in over the condenser. A butterfly damper 48 is pivotally mounted in the top and bottom walls of the casing 10 by means of the pivots 49 and serves to direct the air flowing through the plenum chamber 36. The butterfly damper 48 is preferably provided with sound deadening material 50 on opposite sides thereof. In order to further reduce the amount of noise given off by the unit, the fans have been arranged so as to pull the air in over the coils and the fan blades have been located at a distance from the air outlets. The evaporator compartment is provided with a first air inlet opening 52 through which rom air may be introduced into the evaporator compartment and a second opening 54 through which outside air may be introduced into the evaporator compartment. A slide damper 56 is provided adjacent the openings 52 and 54 so as to control the flow of air through these openings. As shown in Figure 1 the slide damper 56 is in a position in which room air only enters the evaporator compartment whereas by moving the slide 56 the fresh air inlet may be uncovered or both of the inlets may be partially uncovered. A suitable handle 58 is provided for operating the slide damper 55. A simi lar damper 50 is provided adjacent the condenser air inlets 62 and 54 which are provided in the end wall of the condenser compartment 32 as shown. The damper 50 makes it possible to introduce either outside air, room air, or a mixture of both into the condenser compartment. The dampers 58 and 50 are slidably mounted by means or suitable guide lugs such as the lugs 6 I. A condensate collecting pan 66 is provided beneath the evaporator in accordance with well-known practice. The condensate drains from the pan 66 into a receptacle 65 via the drain line III and is at least partially evaporated by the hot air circulated by the fan 45 and the excess condensate is atomized by the fan 45 dipping into the condensate receptacle 65.
Inasmuch as this unit is intended to be used for either heating or cooling the air for the enclosure there will be times in certain localities when the evaporator will tend to freeze condensate water thereon during the heating cycle. Thus when the oetside air temperatures are low and the relative humidity of the outside air is high, the evaporator will be required to operate at a temperature low enough to freeze the condensate unless some means is provided for increasing the temperature of the air flowing over the evaporator. In the arrangement shown we have provided an electric heater 12 which is placed between the outside air inlet 54 and the evaporator I4 whereby the necessary amount of heat is introduced into the incoming air stream when required so as to permit the evaporator to be operated at a temperature high enough to avoid freezeup. The heater I2 may be manually controlled or it may be controlled automatically.
By virtue of the above described damper arrangement it is obvious that this unit may be used for either heating or cooling the air to be conditioned for the enclosure. It is also obvious that the air to be conditioned may be either recirculated room air or it may be outside air or it may be a mixture of both. Furthermore this unit may used for purely ventilation purposes without either heating or cooling the air merely by turning off the refrigerating apparatus. By properly adjusting the dampers 56 and 80 an excess of outside air may be introduced into the room so as to maintain a positive pressure therein thereby preventing infiltration of unconditioned air. Several of the many possible air flow arrangements have been shown in Figures 1, 3, 4, and 5. Thus with the dampers arranged as shown in Figure 1, room air is circulated in over the evaporator so as to be cooled thereby and returned into the room while outside air is brought in over the condenser and is discharged into the outside atmosphere. With the dampers arranged as shown in Figure 3, room air is brought in over the condenser so as to be heated thereby and is discharged into the conditioned space whereas outside air is brought in over the evaporator so as to supply heat thereto and is then discharged into the outside atmosphere. With the dampers arranged as shown in Figure 4, all fresh air is brought into the condenser compartment so as to be heated by the condenser and is thereafter discharged into the room whereas a corresponding amount of room air is brought into the evaporator compartment so as to give up heat to the evaporator and is then discharged into the outside atmosphere. As pointed out hereinabove, it is not necessary to use all fresh air or all recirculated air as any mixture of the two may be circulated over either of the coils by properly adjusting the various dampers. It is also apparent that the unit may be used solely for ventilating purposes and that the amount of outside air introduced into the room through the unit or discharged from the room through the unit may be regulated by regulating the various slide dampers. By opening the inlets 52 and 64, blocking the outlet 28 by means of a cardboard or the like (not shown) and setting the damper 48 at its mid-position both fans may be used for exhausting room air to the outside atmosphere. In Figure 6 I have shown a modified arrangement in which the parts have been designated by means of the same reference numerals as used in describing the corresponding parts in Figures 1 through 5. The main difference between the arrangement shown in Figures 1 through 5 and the arrangements shown in Figure 6 is that the fan motor has been rearranged whereby the axis of the fan motor lies in a plane parallel to the faces of the evaporator and condenser coils. The location of the condenser has also been changed slightly but otherwise the apparatus and its function has not been altered.
In Figures 7, 8, and 9 I have shown somewhat diagrammatically still another modification wherein the evaporator compartment air inlets are all provided in the bottom wall of the cabinet and the evaporator compartment air outlets are all provided in the top wall or the cabinet.
Referring now to Figure '7, reference numeral IIIII designates the main cabinet within which there is suitably supported a conventional refrigerating system including a condenser I02, an evaporator I04 and a motor compressor unit I08. A stationary wall which extends from the front wall of the cabinet to the back wall of the cabinet and which has been designated by the reference numeral I08 separates the cabinet into an evapo rator compartment H0 and a condenser compartment H2. A fan motor H4 is provided for driving a pair of fans I I6 and I I8 which circulate air through the condenser compartment H2 and the evaporator compartment IIll respectively. Suitable air directing baffles I20 and I22 have I been provided for directing the air through the evaporator and condenser chambers.
Referring to Figure 8 which is a sectional view taken on line 8-8 of Figure 7, it will be observed that the evaporator compartment is provided with a pair of air inlets I24 and I26 in the bottom wall of the cabinet whereby either room air or outside air may be introduced into the evaporator compartment. It will also be noted that a pair of cold air outlets I28 and I35 have been provided in the top wall of the cabinet whereby the air leaving the evaporator compartment may be discharged either into the room to be conditioned or into the outside atmosphere. The slide damper I32 may be used for controlling the source of the air introduced into the evaporator compartment. A similar damper I34 is provided for directing the air leaving the evaporator compartment. By virtue of this construction, either fresh air, recirculated air or a mixture of both may be introduced into the evaporator compartment and the cooled air may all be discharged into the room, or into the outside atmosphere as desired.
Similar bottom inlets and top outlets are provided for the condenser compartment with the result that the apparatus may be used for either heating air for the enclosure or cooling air for the enclosure or merely ventilating the enclosure. The air flows through the condenser compartment II 2 in the direction indicated by the arrows in Fig. 7. The top wall of the compartment is provided with a pair of inlets I50 and I52 located on opposite sides of the wall I54 which separates the room air from the outside air. A single slide damper I55 controls the flow of air through the inlets I50 and I52 whereby either outside air or room air may be introduced into the condenser compartment. The bottom wall of the condenser compartment is provided with a pair of similarly controlled outlet openings in vertical alignment with the top inlet openings I50 and I52 whereby the air leaving the condenser compartment may be discharged either into the room through the outlet I50 or into the outside atmosphere through a similar outlet (not shown) leading to the outside atmosphere and located directly beneath the top opening I50. Reference numeral I50 designates the damper which controls the flow of air through the condenser compartment outlets. In order to protect the top openings which are exposed to .the outside atmosphere, we have provided a bailie I35 as shown in Figure 8. This bafile preferably extends the full length of the cabinet and projects slightly beyond the edge of the cabinet as shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 9 shows the baifle removed so as to expose the outlets.
The lower edges of the fins of the evaporator I04 are cut at an angle as shown in Fig. 8 whereby the condensate will drain into the trough I36 which drains into the drain pipe I 38.
In order to simplify the disclosure, all of the air filters have been omitted in each of the modifications. It is within the purview of this invention, however, to provide the necessary air filters.
For purposes of disclosure, we have shown some of the most common arrangements for disposing of the condensate whereas other arrangements could be used. Thus the condensate pan 68 shown in Fig. 1 could be made large enough so as to contain the bottom portion of the condenser I8 whereby the hot gas discharged by the compressor into the bottom coils of the condenser may be used for directly heating the condensate in the pan 58. An arrangement of th type shown in the copending application Serial Number 492,849 filed January 30, 1943, may also be used for disposing of the condensate. The preferred condensate disposal arrangements are those which function to vaporize the condensate and dispose of the same into the condenser air stream whereby the condensate is discharged into the outside air during the cooling cycle and is discharged into the heated air which in turn is discharged into the enclosure to be conditioned during the heating cycle. With such an arrangement the apparatus serves to humidify the air during the heating cycle and dehumidify the air during the cooling cycle.
