Abstract
A condensation tray includes a central main tray body formed from extruded polymeric/copolymeric material and includes a bottom wall, opposite upstanding side walls and a central wall therebetween with the bottom wall including between inner and outer surfaces thereof a plurality of condensation channels/chambers. A coil rests between the central wall and one of the side walls and an outlet from a fan projects through an opening formed between the central wall and the other of the side walls. In this fashion condensation forming adjacent the coil will not adversely effect the fan housing, impeller, motor, mounting or fasteners thereof, and condensation which collects in the condensation channels/chambers chambers can be readily passed through discharge ports of end caps to a drain.
Claims29
A tray for preventing the formation of condensation on at least one exterior surface thereof comprising a tray body including a bottom wall, said bottom wall including inner, medial and outer wall portions, and means for forming a condensation collection chamber between said inner and medial wall portions and said medial and outer wall portions within which condensation will form and collect due to a temperature differential between the condensation collection chambers and the exterior of said bottom wall.
The tray as defined in claim including means for discharging condensation from said condensation collection chamber.
A tray for preventing the formation of condensation on at least one exterior surface thereof comprising a tray body including bottom wall, said bottom wall having an interior surface and an exterior surface, means for forming at least one condensation collection chamber between said interior and exterior surfaces within which condensation will form and collect due to a temperature differential between the at least one condensation collection chamber and the exterior of said bottom wall, said tray body further including a pair of side walls disposed at opposite sides of said bottom wall, and means for defining an opening through said bottom wall and between said side walls which is adapted to receive a fan housing outlet therein.
