Abstract
Apparatus for delivering conditioned air from the mixing chamber of a mobile container into a pair of supply air plenums that extend rearwardly along the side walls of the container. A series of fan units are contained within pods located within the mixing chamber adjacent to the front end of each supply air plenum. The pods are stacked in vertical alignment from the floor of the container to about the height of the container ceiling. Each pod includes two fan units that are contained in separate compartments. Each fan unit can be removed easily from the compartment and each pod unit can similarly be removed separately from the stack to facilitate mounting and removal of the pods as well as the individual fan units.
