Abstract
A cover for an air conditioning system includes a fluid inlet port adapted to permit fluid located outside the interior space to enter through a wall of the cover and into a first interior space portion of the cover. The cover further includes a fluid outlet port adapted to permit fluid located inside the second interior space portion to exit through the wall to a location outside the interior space. The cover may be integrated as part of a vehicle wherein a fluid inlet port of the cover can be placed in fluid communication with an air inlet of a first evaporator fan and an air inlet of a second evaporator fan and a fluid outlet port of the cover can be placed in fluid communication with an air outlet of the second evaporator fan. Methods also include retrofitting a vehicle comprising the steps of removing a first cover from a support surface and mounting a second cover to the support surface.
