  • the outdoor unit includes a compressor, a heat exchanger, a fan and motor assembly and associated electrical control components.
  • the indoor unit includes a heat exchanger and a fan. In operation, the indoor fan draws air into the indoor unit, through an inlet thereof and forces the air over the indoor heat exchanger and then out of the indoor unit, through an outlet opening therein.
  • the outdoor fan draws air into the outdoor unit, through an. inlet, forces that air over the outdoor heat exchanger and then forces that air out of the outdoor unit through an outlet therein.
  • a compressor located in the outdoor unit causes a refrigeration fluid to circulate through and between the indoor/outdoor heat exchangers.
  • the refrigerant absorbs heat from the air passing over that heat exchanger, cooling that air.
  • the outdoor heat exchanger absorbs heat from the refrigerant passing therethrough.
  • the outdoor units of such systems are quite often installed in locations which limit access to the units for both installation and subsequent service of the units.
  • the enclosure includes a bottom section having a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, and two side walls. Each of the front wall, rear wall and the two side walls of the bottom section define an upper edge.
  • the enclosure further includes a front top section including a top wall, a front wall and two side walls. Each of the front and two side walls of the front top section define a lower edge, and each of the top wall and the two side walls define a rear edge.
  • the enclosure further includes a rear top section including a top wall, a rear wall and two sides walls.
  • Each of the rear wall and the two side walls of the rear top section define a lower edge, and each of the top wall and the two side walls define a front edge.
  • the bottom section, the front top section and the rear top section are configured such that they may be assembled together in a manner wherein they cooperate with one another, with the lower edges of the front top section and the lower edges of the rear top section in engagement with the upper edge of the bottom section.
  • the rear edge of the front top section is in engagement with the front edge of the rear top section to thereby form the box shaped enclosure.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the enclosure for an air conditioner outdoor unit which embodies the features of the present invention:
  • Figure 2 is a perspective exploded view of the air conditioning unit of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is perspective view similar to Figure 1 illustrating the rear top section of the enclosure horizontally removed from the unit;
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view similar to Figure 1 showing the rear top section vertically removed from the unit;
  • Figure 5 is a side view of the unit illustrated in Figure 1 installed adjacent to a vertical wall illustrating vertical removal from the enclosure of the rear top section;
  • Figure 6 is a side view of the unit illustrated in Figure 1 installed underlying a horizontal wall illustrating horizontal removal of the rear top section therefrom.
  • FIGS. 1-6 illustrate an outdoor unit 10 of a split system air conditioning system which has an enclosure according to the present invention.
  • the enclosure includes a bottom section 12, a front top section 14 and a rear top section 16.
  • the three sections 12, 14 and 16 may be assembled to one another to form a box shaped enclosure for the unit 10.
  • the bottom section 12 includes a bottom wall 18, a front wall 20, a rear wall 22 and side walls 24.
  • the walls 18, 20, 22 and 24 cooperate to define the open topped substantially rectangular bottom section 12.
  • each of the front, rear and side walls 20, 22 and 24, respectively, define an upper edge generally bearing the reference numeral 26.
  • the dividing wall includes solid wall sections 30 and the lower half of an arcuate shaped opening 32 which as will be seen defines a part of the condenser fan orifice.
  • the region between the front wall 20 and the dividing wall 28 is configured to receive and support the lower portion of the outdoor unit heat exchanger 34.
  • the region of the bottom section 12 rearwardly of the dividing wall 28 is referred to as the service region 35 of the outdoor unit 10 and is provided with various structural supports for mounting of the unit's compressor 36, fan motor 38, control box 40 and other components of the unit's refrigeration and electrical system. All of the above components are illustrated in their operable positions installed within the service region 35 of the bottom section 12 in Figures 3 and 4. The manner in which these components are mounted in the bottom section is not apart of the present invention and will not be described in any further detail herein. It will be noted that underlying the bottom wall 18 of the bottom section are a pair of longitudinally extending metal plates 42 which are attached to the bottom and function to provide structural rigidity to the bottom section 12 as well as providing structure facilitating mounting of the unit 10.
  • the front top section 14 of the enclosure includes a top wall 44, a front wall 46 and two substantially identical end walls 48.
  • the front 46 and the two end walls 48 each define a lower edge 50 which is configured to be received by mating portions of the upper edges 26 of the front wall 20 and the side walls 24 of the bottom section 12.
  • Attachment of the front top section 14 is by way of threaded fasteners 52 which extend through mating openings 51 provided in the lower edge 50 of the side walls 48 and axially aligned openings 54 in the side walls 24 of the bottom section.
  • the front top section 14 has integrally molded therein the upper half of the dividing wall 28. This wall section includes the top half of the opening 32 defining the condenser fan orifice.
  • top wall 44 and the end walls 48 each define a planar rearwardly facing surface, generally 56.
  • the upper edges 26 of the rear wall 22 and the side walls 24 of the bottom section 12 also define substantially planar surfaces. As will be seen, these surfaces (56, 26) facilitate the installation and removal of the rear top section 16 to/from the assembly of the bottom section 12 and the front top section 14.
  • the rear top section 16 includes a top wall 58, a rear wall 60 and two side walls 62.
  • the rear wall 60 and the two side walls 62 each have a lower edge 64 defining a downwardly facing planar surface.
  • the top wall 58 and the two side walls 62 each have a front edge 66 defining a substantially planar surface.
  • the rear top section 16 is the last section assembled to form the box shaped enclosure for the air conditioner unit 10. Likewise, as will be seen, the top rear top section 16 is readily removable from the enclosure to facilitate access to the service region 35 regardless of the confines surrounding the installed unit 10.
  • the planar surfaces defined by the front edges 66 of the top wall 58 and the side walls 62 of the rear top section are configured to engage the planar surfaces defined by the edges 56 of the top wall 44 and the side walls 48 of the front top section 14.
  • suitable threaded fasteners 68 extend through axially mating openings in the top wall 58 of the rear top section and the top wall 44 of the front top section to thereby removably attach the components to one another. Additional threaded fasteners 68 pass through openings in the lower edge 64 of the rear wall 60 of the rear top section and into mating axially aligned openings in the top edge 26 of the rear wall 22 of the bottom section 12.
  • Removal of the rear top section 16 for access to the components contained in the service region 35 is a simple matter of removing the threaded fasteners 58 and removing the rear top section to gain access. Because the rear top section is open in both the front and bottom thereof, removal of this section from the outdoor unit may be achieved by displacing the unit in either an exclusively vertical direction, an exclusively horizontal direction or in a combination of horizontal and vertical directions without experiencing interference from any of the components within the service area which extend upwardly into the region covered by the rear top section 16.
  • FIG. 5 Such significant benefit of the described configuration is illustrated in Figure 5 wherein the outdoor unit 10 is shown installed in close proximity to a vertical wall 70.
  • the rear top section 16 may be displaced vertically with the planar surfaces 56 and 66 described above allowing free vertical motion of the rear top section 16 with respect to the front top section 14 to permit easy disassembly.
  • Figure 6 illustrates the outdoor unit 10 installed in a limited vertical clearance situation with a horizontal wall 72 extendingthereabove.
  • the rear top section 16 may be removed from the outer unit 10 by displacing it exclusively in the horizontal direction, again thereby permitting access to the service region 35 without requiring movement of the entire outdoor unit or further disassembly of the outdoor enclosure.
