A cover for an outside air conditioning system includes a hood molded from a single piece of plastic and a metal grill secured to the cover and the air conditioning system. The molding of the cover allows for the addition of colored dyes to be added to the virgin material during the molding process for producing covers of various colors. The design of the cover permits nesting of the covers during shipment in order to reduce the costs associated with transporting the covers.

Condensing unit enclosure

A retention arrangement for retaining a motor cover and a thermal protection device over one end of a dynamoelectric motor uses connection bolts already available on the motor for mounting the stator and positions the protector in an annulus between the cover side wall and stator end turns and below the upward extension of the stator end turns. The retention arrangement includes a pair of plates being bolted to the motor and encircling the end turns of the stator with first interengageable portions securing the cover to the plates and second interengageable portions securing at least one plate to a holder to which the protector is mounted, such retention assuring that after the air space between the stator and rotor is set a suction duct will be positioned to cool the protection device and the end turns.
