Abstract
An air conditioning unit having a return air inlet and a supply air outlet upon the roof of a vehicle that includes a mounting frame located within an opening in the roof of a vehicle with the frame extending into the comfort region of said vehicle, with said comfort region having a front and rear section. The air conditioning unit is supported upon the top of the frame so that the return air inlet and supply air outlet are in fluid flow communication with the interior of said frame, which is enclosed at the bottom by a floor panel. A partition extends across the width of the frame dividing the frame into a return air compartment that communicates with the return air inlet of the air conditioning unit and a supply air compartment that communicates with the supply air outlet of the air conditioning unit. Longitudinal supply ducts are mounted in the opposed end walls of said frame and are in direct fluid flow communication with the frame supply air compartment. The air supply compartment further includes means for evenly distributing conditioned air to both the front and rear sections of the comfort region of the vehicle.
