Abstract
An improved room air conditioner of the type assembled from a first subassembly, which includes a basepan having an indoor region proximate the front of the basepan and an outdoor region proximate the back of the basepan. A compressor, a condenser coil, an evaporator coil, and a refrigeration flow circuit are all included in the first subassembly. A second subassembly includes a vertically extending partition having an indoor side, an outdoor side and an opening therein extending from the indoor side to the outdoor side. The partition is configured to cooperate with the basepan to separate the indoor region from the outdoor region. The second subassembly includes an electric motor mounted on the partition, which is adapted to drive an indoor fan and an outdoor fan. The first and second subassemblies are configured such that they may be assembled separate from one another and may be assembled to one another by the positioning of the second subassembly in a position vertically spaced above the subassembly and lowering the second subassembly into a predetermined alignment with the first subassembly with the partition engaging the basepan. The partition is provided with a vertically ex…
