Claims
- 1. A moisture disposing device for use in a self-contained air conditioner, the device comprising;
- a casing including an opening and a frame portion including means for supporting a bulkhead detachably secured over the opening;
- an electric motor secured to the bulkhead for a propeller fan;
- a heat exchanger attached to the frame portion and located downstream of the bulkhead;
- a propeller fan attached to a shaft of the electric motor and located upstream of the heat exchanger and downstream of the bulkhead;
- an air guider within the casing connected to at least one of the heat exchanger and the frame portion, the air guider and the propeller fan constituting an air passageway;
- a slinger ring fitted to the propeller fan for scooping water in the casing and sprinkling the scooped water over the propeller fan; and
- the air guider having an orifice whose shape is vertically oblong, the orifice having a radius of the major axis at each oblong end which is greater than half of the diameter of the slinger ring.
- 2. A moisture disposing device as defined in claim 1, wherein the center of the propeller fan is located below the center of the major axis of the orifice.
- 3. A moisture disposing device as defined in claim 1, further comprising a flange provided along the orifice, wherein the flange is extended downstream and has an outwardly bent portion.
- 4. A moisture disposing device as defined in claim 1, further comprising a flange provided along the orifice, wherein the flange has an inwardly bent portion.
- 5. A moisture disposing device for use in a self-contained air conditioner, said device comprising:
- a casing having an opening and a frame portion including means for supporting a detachable bulkhead over said opening;
- a heat exchanger attached to said frame portion and located downstream of said bulkhead;
- an electric motor secured to said bulkhead, said motor including a shaft;
- a propeller fan attached to the shaft of said motor, said propeller fan being located between said heat exchanger and said bulkhead;
- an air guider within said casing connected to at least one of said heat exchanger and said frame portion, said air guider defining an interior area constituting an air passageway within which said propeller fan is disposed, said air guider having a vertically oblong-shaped orifice; and
- a slinger ring fitted to said propeller fan for scooping water in said casing and sprinkling the scooped water over the propeller fan, said orifice of said air guider having a radius of the major axis at each oblong end which is greater than half of the diameter of said slinger ring.
- 6. The moisture disposing device of claim 5, wherein said orifice has a radius in the horizontal direction which is smaller than half of the diameter of said slinger ring.
