Abstract
An improved base pan is disclosed for a large ground or roof mounted "packaged" air conditioning unit. The base pan comprises a non-corrosive polymeric material but includes a section which is coated with a non-flammable substance. An airflow section of the base pan is defined by a raised platform, which, in combination with a set of ramp members, directs precipitation and condensation from the sensitive airlow section. Moisture droplets which do fall on the sensitive airflow section are directed toward a channel which uniformly slopes toward a drain hole.
