Abstract:
1. A method of providing air conditioning to a bus having at least one return air duct for conducting the flow of return air from a passenger compartment and at least one supply air duct for conducting the flow of conditioned air to the passenger compartment, comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of relatively small, compact air conditioning modules; determining the total amount of air conditioning capacity required for the bus; determining the number of modules needed to collectively meet that total capacity requirement; installing said number of modules on the bus in a desired arrangement such that each module registers with both a return air opening in the return air duct and a supply air opening in the supply air duct and with each module being a self contained air conditioning system which, when connected to electric power is capable of providing conditioned air to the bus.
