| (54) | Mobile air conditioner |
| (57) The present invention relates to a mobile air conditioner which comprises an insulated
housing (3) having a cooled air outlet (12) and a heated air outlet (13), an evaporator
(1) located in the said housing (3), a condenser (2), an electrical fan (4) having
an air chamber (5), and a reservoir (9) for collecting condensed water formed on the
evaporator (1). The evaporator (1) is located between the air chamber (5) and cooled
air outlet (12); while the condenser (2) is located between the air chamber (5) and
heated air outlet (13). The cavity of the said reservoir (9) is in fluid connection
with a drain channel (10) which has a drain meatus located in the air-discharge passage
(6) extended from the air outlet (15) of the air chamber (5) to the condenser (2).
The condensed water from the reservoir (9) to the drain channel can be atomized into
tiny drips by rapid air flow from the air chamber (5). The tiny drips are blown through
the drain channel (10) onto the condenser (2) for being heated and onto the evaporator
(1) for being cooled, then flowing into the reservoir at last. The above-described
process can be repeated circularly during the air conditioner being in operation.
lt is much more convenient that this treatment of condensed water can keep the reservoir
(9) from being fllled without emptying it manually.
