Abstract
Methods and systems for an air conditioning unit is provided. The air conditioning unit includes a housing having a first compartment and a second compartment separated from the first compartment by a partition disposed in the housing, the housing including an air inlet and an air outlet. A refrigerant circuit includes a compressor disposed in the first compartment. An air flow path extends through the second compartment. The air flow path is arranged to route air flow from the air inlet to the air outlet, and a blower is disposed in the air flow path. A refrigerant leak detection system is configured to detect a refrigerant leak within the housing. An inducer is disposed in the housing. The inducer is configured to move air from the first compartment into the air flow path upon detection of the refrigerant leak by the refrigerant leak detection system.
