CA 2308382

An orifice member (38) is provided for the condenser fan (34) of an air conditioning unit (10). The air conditioning unit (10) has a basepan (24), which supports a condenser coil at the rear thereof and a condenser fan disposed forwardly of the condenser coil (32). The fan (34) has a stinger ring (48) formed at the outer periphery thereof. The stinger ring (48) and the basepan (24) are configured such that condensate water from the air conditioning unit (10) will collect in the basepan (24) underlying the bottom of the fan so that the stinger ring (48) will be immersed in the collected water, pick up the water and direct it towards the condenser coil (32). Means are provided for preventing water picked up by the stinger ring (48) from being directed radially outwardly and through the openings (58) in the housing. The means includes a diverter element (98) located on the orifice (38) at a position offset from the bottom of the orifice in the direction of rotation of the fan. The deflector element extends radially inwardly into said orifice opening (38).

Un élément à orifice (38) est prévu pour le ventilateur de condensateur (34) d'une unité de conditionnement d'air (10). L'unité de conditionnement d'air (10) comporte un bac de base (24), qui supporte un condenseur sur l'arrière et un ventilateur de condenseur placé à l'avant dudit condenseur (32). Le ventilateur (34) comporte un anneau gicleur (48) formé à sa périphérie extérieure. Ledit anneau gicleur (48) et la cuve de base (24) sont configurés de sorte que l'eau de condensat provenant de l'unité de conditionnement d'air (10) soit recueillie dans la cuve de base (24) se trouvant sous le fond du ventilateur de manière que ledit anneau (48) soit immergé dans l'eau recueillie, collecte l'eau et l'envoie vers le condenseur (32). Lesdits moyens sont conçus pour empêcher l'eau collectée par l'anneau gicleur (48) d'être dirigée radialement vers l'extérieur et par l'ouverture (58) dans l'enceinte. Ledit moyen un élément de dérivation (98) situé sur les orifices (38), à un emplacement décalé par rapport au fond de l'orifice, dans le sens de rotation du ventilateur. Ledit élément de déviation s'étend radialement vers l'intérieur, dans ladite ouverture (38) d'orifice.
