RAILROAD VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18124207 titled 'RAILROAD VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for an air conditioning apparatus in a railroad vehicle. The apparatus includes an indoor heat exchanger, a drain pan, and a detachable blocking member.

  • The indoor heat exchanger is placed within a housing where air flows through.
  • A drain pan is positioned below the indoor heat exchanger within the housing.
  • A gap is left between the lower end of the indoor heat exchanger and the bottom surface of the drain pan.
  • The detachable blocking member is connected to the indoor heat exchanger.
  • The blocking member has a resilient close-contact portion that contacts the bottom surface of the drain pan.
  • The blocking portion of the blocking member blocks between the resilient close-contact portion and the indoor heat exchanger.
  • The resilient close-contact portion of the blocking member bears at least a part of the load of the indoor heat exchanger.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Railroad vehicles
  • Other types of vehicles with air conditioning systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Prevents leakage or overflow of condensate from the indoor heat exchanger
  • Provides support for the indoor heat exchanger to distribute its load

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency and performance of the air conditioning system
  • Reduced risk of damage or malfunction due to condensate leakage
  • Easy maintenance and replacement of the blocking member


Original Abstract Submitted

In a railroad vehicle air conditioning apparatus, an indoor heat exchanger is arranged within a housing at a position through which a flow of air passes. A drain pan is arranged within the housing below the indoor heat exchanger. A gap is left between a lower end portion of the indoor heat exchanger and a bottom surface of the drain pan. A blocking member is detachable from the indoor heat exchanger and includes a resilient close-contact portion that is in resiliently close contact with the bottom surface of the drain pan and a blocking portion that blocks between the resilient close-contact portion and the indoor heat exchanger so as to transmit to the resilient close-contact portion at least a part of load of the indoor heat exchanger.
