摘要 |
A gas engine driven heat pump system including an apparatus and method for exhaust gas dispersion and condensate removal which disperses and mixes exhaust gases more effectively to prevent local icing, inhibit frosting of outdoor heat exchangers, reduce engine noise, and mask exhaust odors, and which removes and treats condensate to further inhibit frosting and corrosion. Dispersion and condensate removal are achieved with exhaust gas distribution and condensate draining features incorporated into the exhaust system of the present invention, and with a fan compartment structure which promotes more complete mixing of exhaust gases and ambient air, while housing both the exhaust system and the outdoor heat exchanger.
