Abstract
An air conditioning system condensing unit has a specially designed chassis providing enhanced serviceability access to various air conditioning components operatively disposed therein. A removable vertical peripheral outer side wall section of the chassis underlies a removable peripheral top side wall section thereof. Removal of these two side wall sections creates in the chassis an opening conveniently providing both horizontal and vertical service access to the air conditioning components within the interior of the chassis.
Claims17
An air conditioning system condensing unit comprising:
- a plurality of air conditioning components;
- and
- a chassis having a top side wall with a removable peripheral section, a bottom side portion, and a vertical outer side wall structure extending between said top side wall and said bottom side portion and defining with said top side wall an interior chamber within which said plurality of air conditioning components are operatively disposed,
- said outer side wall structure having a removable peripheral section that is in underlying alignment with said removable peripheral section of said top side wall and extends therefrom to adjacent said bottom side portion, removal of said peripheral top side wall and outer side wall structure sections creating in said chassis an opening providing both horizontal and vertical service access to said plurality of air conditioning components.
An air conditioning system condensing unit comprising:
- a plurality of air conditioning components;
- and
- a chassis within which said plurality of air conditioning components are operatively disposed,
- said chassis having a generally rectangular configuration and a vertically extending corner portion that may be removed to expose an opening providing both horizontal and vertical service access to said plurality of air conditioning components within said chassis.
