A module is provided for attachment to the roof of a bus and includes all of necessary components for conditioning the return air from the passenger compartment and delivering conditioned air thereto. Each module includes an evaporator section, a condenser section and a power section including a compressor and an inverter. The evaporator sections have a return air compartment that extends a substantial distance across the roof of the bus such that a single design can meet the needs of various return air duct installations of various types of buses. Provision is made to interconnect a evaporator discharge opening with a supply air duct for the bus by way of a flexible duct having integrally formed end plates for connection by way of fasteners. The lower end plate which is secured to the supply air duct also includes an upstanding flange for connecting a protective cover thereto.
An air conditioning module for a bus rooftop of the type having at least one return air opening for conducting the flow of return air from a passenger compartment, and at least one supply air opening for conducting the flow of conditioned air to the passenger compartment comprising:
An air conditioning module for installation on the rooftop of a bus having at least one supply air opening in the rooftop for fluid communication with a supply air duct leading to a passenger compartment and at least one return air opening in the rooftop to fluidly communicate with the return air duct leading from the passenger compartment comprising:
A bus air conditioning system with an air conditioning module installed on a bus roof having a supply air opening for conducting the flow of conditioned air downwardly near the outer side of the roof and the return air opening near the longitudinally central axis of the bus comprising:
