AIR CONDITIONER HAVING ANGLED HEAT EXCHANGERS

摘要

An air conditioner including a frame, a fan operable to generate an airflow that moves in an airflow direction, and a first heat exchanger including a first end adjacent the air inlet, a second end adjacent the air outlet, an air inlet face that extends between the first end and the second end, an air outlet face that extends between the first end and the second end and faces opposite the air inlet face, and a longitudinal axis that extends through the first end and the second end between the air inlet face and the air outlet face. The heat exchanger is configured to transfer heat between the airflow and a cooling medium. A first heat exchanger angle is defined between the longitudinal axis of the heat exchanger and the airflow direction, and the first heat exchanger angle can be between about 3 degrees and about 20 degrees.

主权项

1. An air conditioner comprising:
a frame at least partially defining an air inlet and an air outlet, the frame including an upper end and a lower end, the lower end configured to support the frame on a support surface; a fan operable to generate an airflow that moves in an airflow direction from the air inlet to the air outlet; and a first heat exchanger including a first end adjacent the air inlet, a second end adjacent the air outlet, an air inlet face that extends between the first end and the second end, an air outlet face that extends between the first end and the second end and faces opposite the air inlet face, and a longitudinal axis that extends through the first end and the second end between the air inlet face and the air outlet face, the heat exchanger configured to transfer heat between the airflow and a cooling medium, wherein a first heat exchanger angle is defined between the longitudinal axis of the heat exchanger and the airflow direction, and wherein the first heat exchanger angle is between about 3 degrees and about 20 degrees.
