An air conditioning apparatus |
(57) An air conditioning apparatus (1) comprising a pair of adjacent parallel air ducts,
namely a conditioned air duct (4) and an ambient air duct (5), the ducts (4,5) having
a common side wall (7). A fan (14) delivers an air stream through the conditioned
air duct (4) to condition the air stream. A fan 15 delivers ambient air through the
ambient air duct (5). Mounted within the ambient air duct (5) is a refrigeration unit
having a condenser (20) and an evaporator (21). The condenser (20) and evaporator
(21) are slidable between the two ducts (4,5) along tracks (43,46) extending through
openings (25,26) in the side wall (7) to condition air passed through the conditioned
air duct (4) to a pre-set desired condition.
