Abstract:
1. A modular air conditioning system, comprising: a housing having a barrier wall positioned therein to divide an interior of the housing into a first section and a second section, the housing including a front panel defining a first opening and a second opening therethrough to provide fluid communication between an exterior of the housing and the second section of the housing; a compressor-driven refrigeration system including a first heat exchanger positioned in the first section of the housing and a second heat exchanger positioned in the second section of the housing in proximity to the front panel; a first air movement device positioned to provide air movement through a first fluid path defined in the housing through the first section of the housing and intersecting the first heat exchanger; a second air movement device positioned in proximity to the second opening in the front panel to provide air movement through a second fluid path defined in the housing through the first opening of the front panel, through the second heat exchanger a first time, through the second section of the housing, through the second heat exchanger a second time, and through the second opening; and wherein the compressor-driven refrigeration system includes a variable speed, electrical driven compressor operable when an engine of an over-the-road vehicle is not running.
