Outdoor heat exchanger cabinet for an air conditioning unit

Outdoor condenser cabinet for an air conditioning unit

An outdoor heat exchanger section has lower and upper cabinet sections between which a generally horizontal louvered lower section top cover is disposed. The sides of the lower cabinet section are louvered to promote the entry and upward movement of air thereinto and through a heat exchange coil disposed about the inner periphery thereof. Air drawn into the lower cabinet section is discharged though the radially louvered portion of the lower section top cover. The radial top cover louvers are angled so as to partially deflect the upwardly flowing air leaving the lower cabinet section to the horizontal. The top of the upper cabinet section is essentially flat and solid and overlies the lower cabinet section top cover louvers so that neither debris nor the elements can enter the lower cabinet section from above. The sides of the upper cabinet section are angled and include louvers which are themselves angled, both of which features cooperate to efficiently direct air out of the upper cabinet section in a direction which is upward and away from the lower cabinet section. The upper cabinet section includes a stator which provides support for the upper cabinet section top and which assists in the efficient direction of air to and out of the upper cabinet section sides.
