Abstract
In a refrigerating device for a vehicle (1) major components for performing a refrigerating cycle, i.e., an evaporator (19), an evaporator fan (25), a condenser (15) and a condenser fan (23), except for the condenser, are preliminarily attached to an evaporator housing (29) to form an integral refrigerating unit (9). Thus, the refrigerating device may be mounted easily to a refrigeration container (3) easily and quickly only by fitting the refrigerating unit (9) having the evaporator housing as a frame into an opening portion (27) of the refrigeration container (3). Further, because the evaporator (19) and the evaporator fan (25) are not protruded from an inner wall of the refrigeration container, the capacity of the refrigeration container is never reduced.
Claims21
A refrigerating device for refrigerating a refrigeration container of a vehicle, said refrigerating device comprising:
- an evaporator;
- an evaporator fan;
- a condenser;
- a condenser fan;
- and
- a housing including a first portion and a second portion, wherein said evaporator, said evaporator fan and said condenser fan are to be mounted inside of said housing and to said first portion, such that when said evaporator, said evaporator fan and said condenser fan are mounted inside of said housing and to said first portion, said first portion, evaporator, evaporator fan and condenser fan form a refrigerating unit that can be mounted to an opening portion of the refrigeration container, whereby when said refrigeration unit is mounted to the opening portion of the refrigeration container, said evaporator and said evaporator fan are located outwardly from an inner wall surface of the refrigeration container;
- and wherein
- said second portion includes a first air vent provided in a front face of said second portion relative to a traveling direction of the vehicle, a second air vent provided in a top face of said second portion, and a drain hole provided in a bottom face of said second portion.
