Abstract:

An air conditioner is provided which is mounted on the rooftop of a recreational vehicle to provide cooling of an interior space within the vehicle. The air conditioner has a single motor that mounts both a centrifugal fan and an axial fan for rotation about a vertical axis. The centrifugal fan is positioned within an evaporator compartment that contains an evaporator for providing cooling of an air stream drawn therethrough. The centrifugal fan draws warm air from within the interior space of the vehicle into the evaporator compartment where it passes through the evaporator and is then drawn axially through a center opening into the centrifugal fan. The cooled air is expelled tangentially from the centrifugal fan and is redirected downwardly by a surrounding scroll and delivered to the interior space for cooling thereof. The axial fan is positioned in a condenser compartment where it draws outdoor air through a condenser for heat exchange therewith. The outdoor air is then exhausted vertically upward through a opening in an outer shroud.

Abstract:

An air vent assembly includes a rain cover that shields an air vent against entry of rain or other precipitation when a vent cap is in an open position to allow ventilation of a vehicle, such as a recreational vehicle, or a boat or other structure. A plurality of connectors formed as unitary portions of the rain cover and the air vent allow the rain cover to be attached and subsequently removed from the air vent.
