Abstract
A room air conditioner of the type having a chassis configured to be removably received in an outer housing. The chassis includes a basepan having an indoor region proximate the front of the basepan and an outer region proximate the back. The chassis further includes a condenser coil supported in the outdoor region. The condenser coil has a support structure including an upper portion overlying the upper end of the condenser coil. The chassis further includes a partition supported at its lower end by the basepan and configured to separate the indoor and outdoor regions. The upper end of the partition is configured to be in close proximity to the interior of the outer housing when the chassis is received therein. The outer housing defines a substantially rectangular structure having a lower section configured to receive and support the basepan thereupon. Vertically extending side walls extend from left and right sides of the lower section and a top wall extends between the upper ends of the side walls.
