Abstract
A mobile temperature controlled container having an air conditioning unit that has an indoor section and an outdoor section. The indoor section includes a housing having a rectangular shaped frame, the front face of which is secured to one wall of the container and a rear wall that is secured to the back of the frame. The rear wall is molded of a suitable plastic and contains a blower wheel compartment and a heat exchanger compartment containing a heat exchanger coil. Both compartments open into the frame and a generous flow path area is provided in the top section of the heat exchanger compartment over the coil so that return air from the container that is drawn into housing can move freely into the blower wheel compartment. The blower wheel compartment is enclosed by a cover having an air inlet opening adjacent the blower wheel and further includes a discharge nozzle that exhausts into the container.
