Abstract
A temporary air conditioning condensing fan is mounted in a rigid housing which may be easily and rapidly mounted at the air exhaust side of an air conditioning unit to provide a temporary flow of cooling air to the condenser, in the event the existing condensing fan fails. A portion of the housing forms a shroud around the temporary condensing fan and directs the flow of air over the condenser. A head pressure adjusting valve adapts the temporary condensing fan to differently sized air conditioning units and maintains an efficient head pressure on the condenser of the existing air conditioning unit.
Claims16
A portable condensing fan for temporarily cooling a condenser of an air conditioning unit having an air exhaust side with an exterior surface, and a unit condenser for said portable condensing fan comprising:
- means for passing a flow of air over said condenser of said air conditioning unit by energizing said portable condensing fan in lieu of said unit condenser fan;
- and
- means for mounting said means for passing a flow of air on said exterior surface of said air exhaust side of said air conditioning unit.
A temporary condensing fan for temporarily cooling a condenser of an air conditioning unit having an air exhaust side, said temporary condensing fan comprising:
- means for passing a flow of air over said condenser of said air conditioning unit;
- means for mounting said means for passing a flow of air on said air exhaust side of said air conditioning unit;
- and
- a head pressure adjusting valve for maintaining an efficient head pressure on said temporary condensing fan wherein said head pressure adjusting valve includes two elastomeric valve sections positioned between said housing and said air conditioning unit and forming a vibration buffer and seal therebetween.
A method of temporarily cooling a condenser of an air conditioning unit having an air exhaust side with an exterior surface, and a unit condenser fan, said method comprising the steps of:
- motioning a portable condensing fan on said exterior surface of said air exhaust side of said air conditioning unit;
- and
- passing a flow of air over said condenser of said air conditioning unit by energizing said portable condensing fan in lieu of said unit condenser fan.
A method of temporarily cooling a condenser of an air conditioning unit having an air exhaust side, said method comprising the steps of:
- mourning a temporary condensing fan at said air exhaust side of said air conditioning unit;
- passing a flow of air over said condenser of said air conditioning unit;
- and
- mainlining an efficient head pressure on said condenser with a head pressure adjusting valve, said step of maintaining an efficient head pressure including positioning two elastomeric valve sections between said housing and said air conditioning unit, thereby forming a vibration buffer and seal therebetween.
