Abstract: The apparatus is a heat exchange unit for cooling interior rooms of commercial and/or residential structures. The unit includes a compressor and blower mounted within a base. A lid of the base has an elongated heat exchange tube mounted thereon. The heat exchange tube has an interior liner with a coil structure mounted to the outside surface thereof. An outer liner enclosed the interior liner and associated coil structure. Both the interior and exterior liners are composed of a perforated metallic material. The vertical heat exchange tube is enclosed with a baffle at the top portion thereof. The baffle functions to force air moving upward to travel in an outward and downward direction toward the base and outside of the liners through the perforations. In an alternative embodiment, the vertical heat exchange tube may include a intermediate tube mounted between the interior and exterior tubes. The intermediate tube also has coils wrapped about the perimeters. In general, the unit with two liners is designed to be a lower capacity unit than the unit with three liners. Accordingly, the unit may be expanded for greater efficiency designs by increasing the surface area of the coil structure, and by serially connecting multiple units.

Abstract: A refrigerated food pan assembly is disclosed which includes food pans which rest within an inner channel through a mounting lip. The assembly includes an outer channel separated from the inner channel by insulation. Refrigeration coils are in thermal conduction with the inner channel to cool food kept within the food pans. A cold air plenum with outlet vents extends along the inner channel to blow cold air toward and between the food pans. Fan arrangements draw cold air through louvers from within the inner channel and direct the cold air into the plenum. An upper refrigeration coil provides additional cooling to the top surface of food in the food pans, and a warming coil may also be provided to prevent the rim or lip of the outer channel from accumulating frost.
