An air conditioning unit having a housing providing support structure for supporting the unit on a relatively thin sheet metal roof of a bus or the like. The housing includes two opposed upright side panels which provide the support for the air conditioning components housed therein and which also in turn are supported on the bus roof, generally adjacent the sidewalls of the bus to utilize the greater load bearing capability of the roof in this vicinity. The housing is separated into an evaporator compartment and a condenser compartment by an internal bulkhead extending between and supported by the side panels. The unit includes a single condenser fan motor and a single evaporator fan motor which are each cantilevered from the bulkhead in their respective compartments to generally counterbalance one another while transferring their weight through the bulkhead to the sidewalls of the housing.

An air conditioning unit for mounting on the roof of a vehicle, said unit comprising air cooling and heating components, including an evaporator coil, a condenser coil, a heater coil, a condenser fan driven by a first motor, evaporator fan means driven by a second motor, and a housing for enclosing and supporting said components, said housing comprising: a pair of opposed facing side panels and a cross panel secured at opposite ends to generally the midpoint of said respective side panels; first means defining a generally planar bottom member coextensive with the area between the side panels, and second means in opposed relationship to said first means and generally coextensive therewith to define a cover member, whereby said housing generally defines an enclosure internally partitioned by said cross panel into a first compartment and a second compartment; said condenser coil disposed within said first compartment extending between and supported by said opposed side panels; said heater coil and evaporator coil disposed within said second compartment, each of said coils extending between and supported by said opposed side panels, and; means supporting said condenser fan and first motor in said first compartment cantilevered from said cross panel, and means supporting said second motor in said second compartment cantilevered from said cross panel in generally opposed relationship with said first motor, whereby said first and second motors generally counterbalance one another to reduce torsional loading on said cross panel and the weight of said components are supported from the opposed side panels.
