An air conditioning system. The system comprises an indoor section and an outdoor section arranged in side-by-side arrangement. The indoor section includes an indoor tangential fan having an axis aligned in a first direction, an indoor heat exchange coil, and a supply air aperture which longitudinally extends in the first direction and avoids line of sight noise transmission from the indoor fan. The system includes an axis commonly supporting and operably coupling the indoor fan and the motor, and a scroll housing within the indoor section and arranged about the indoor tangential fan. The indoor tangential fan, motor and axis are assembled to form a first module, the scroll housing forms a second module and the first module is independently removable from the second module without the necessity of disengaging any connection between the first and second modules. The system includes a fan support bracket supporting a first end of the axis, and the motor supporting a second end of the axis. The fan support bracket includes a bearing assembly rotatably supporting the axis and having a flange; a support bracket including a flange support matingly adapted to engage the flange, a clip adapted to engage a lower end of the bearing assembly support, and an axis aperture adapted to receive the first end of the axis. The system includes a module arranged about and supporting the indoor coil, and a horizontal guide allowing the coil and module to be removed in a horizontal direction.

An air inlet and damper arrangement. The arrangement comprises a system housing with an external wall having a fresh air inlet; and an inlet air enclosure located within the system housing adjacent the external wall and arranged about the air inlet. The enclosure has an aperture connecting the interior of the enclosure with the interior of the system housing; and a damper sized to cover the aperture and pivotable within the small enclosure between a position covering the aperture and a position uncovering the aperture.

Fresh air inlet and damper

A drain spout that is easy to remove for cleaning and for accessing components behind or proximal to the drain pan. Instead of directly connecting the drain hose to the drain pan outlet spout, the drain hose connects to a drain funnel attached to or formed as a part of the shelf supporting the drain pan. The drain pan itself sits on the shelf and the outlet spout of the drain pan fits within the shelf funnel without a positive connection. The drain pan can be lifted out without disengaging the drain hose.
