Abstract
An air conditioning system includes an evaporator, compressor, condenser and an expansion system in a closed system to cycle refrigerant. The components are mounted in a housing with sidewalls, bottom wall and top wall in a vertically stacked configuration with a horizontally mounted frame approximately bisecting the housing. A fan below the frame dissipates heat into or through the bottom of a vehicle and a fan above the frame circulates cool air into a passenger compartment. The air conditioning system is powered by a 12-volt direct current, which is fused (15 amperes) running off the vehicle's battery or the alternator and is operated by an electronic control circuit.
Claims15
An air conditioning system, comprising:
- a generally rectangular housing, the generally rectangular housing having a size of a 1962-74.5 Moss automobile battery box insert, with top and bottom walls and generally vertical side walls bisected by a mid-frame;
- an evaporator mounted to a bottom of the top wall;
- a compressor mounted to a top of the mid-frame adjacent to the evaporator on a same side of the mid-frame as the evaporator;
- a condenser mounted to a bottom of the mid-frame;
- and
- an expansion system mounted at a position below the bottom of the mid-frame;
- wherein a refrigerant flows through tubing in a closed loop from the evaporator to the compressor, the refrigerant flows from the compressor to the condenser, the refrigerant then flows from the condenser to the expansion system, and the refrigerant flows from the expansion system to the evaporator.
An air conditioning system, comprising:
- a rectangular housing, the rectangular housing having a size of a 1962-74.5 Moss automobile battery box insert, with top and bottom walls and vertical side walls bisected by a mid-frame;
- an evaporator and compressor mounted above the mid-frame, the compressor being mounted adjacent to the evaporator on a same side of the mid-frame as the evaporator;
- and
- a condenser and an expansion system mounted below the mid-frame;
- wherein a refrigerant flows in a closed loop from the evaporator, to the compressor, to the condenser, to the expansion system and then back to the evaporator.
An air conditioning system, comprising:
- a housing, the housing having a size of a 1962-74.5 Moss automobile battery box insert, the housing having an internal volume divided by a plate;
- an evaporator and compressor mounted above the plate, the compressor being mounted adjacent to the evaporator on a same side of the plate as the evaporator;
- and
- a condenser and an expansion system mounted below the plate;
- wherein a refrigerant flows in a closed loop from the evaporator, to the compressor, to the condenser, to the expansion system and then back to the evaporator.
