The chassis is preferably formed of metal while the wall is preferably formed at least partially of plastic, in an upper and a lower mating piece. A plastic front panel may be positioned in front of the evaporator coil and secured to the wall. A series of air conditioners can be provided with a single sized chassis, but differing sized evaporator coils, to provide models with different cooling capacities utilizing a single sized chassis, with smaller cooling capacity air conditioners having a smaller size than larger capacity air conditioners of the series.

Flexible size air conditioner

A room air conditioner which is easily assembled by virtue of a base pan having a plurality of vertically oriented fasteners secured thereto for retaining various components of the air conditioner including the compressor, condenser assembly, evaporator assembly and a barrier wall. A novel motor mount is provided which is also secured to a plurality of the vertically oriented fasteners of the base pan.

Assembly method and construction for a room air conditioner

A room air conditioner in which a blower housing is formed of a foamed insulation material. The foamed insulation material is formed in three separate pieces with each of the pieces fitting together to form a single structural unit forming the blower housing and wall portions of two separate air conduits. The pieces are configured and apertured to fit snugly together and to provide various passages for diverse components of the air conditioner.

Dual side discharge room air conditioner with foamed insulation air

A room air conditioner in which separate lateral air outlets are provided for returning chilled air to the room. A blower wheel is used to draw air into the air conditioner through the evaporator and a housing for the blower wheel has two volute openings that lead to separate connecting passages to the outlet openings. An easily removable filter is provided at the front panel of the air conditioner which does not require removal of the front panel for its removal. Also a highly effective exhaust air door is provided in at least one of the connecting passages for use in exhausting air from the room.
