Abstract
The transport refrigeration unit (FIG. 5) includes a generally planar main frame 20, 22, 24 which supports a base frame 34 for carrying the compressor 54 and engine 56, and with an evaporator plenum 58 and a condenser plenum 60 in side-by-side, but spaced apart relation to provide a channel 62 therebetween. A heavy intermediate upper support member including wall 44 supports a bearing and support housing 68 which carries the shaft upon which is mounted, in cantilevered relation, both the evaporator blower 72 and the condenser blower 74. The plate fins 66 of the condenser are in planes parallel to the plane of the main frame with the air for the condenser entering the condenser plenum 60 from the side, rather than the front. With the arrangement as shown, all of the shafts carrying pulleys for the drive train to the blowers are parallel with each other.
