Zusammenfassung:Apparatus of removing condensate generated by a plurality of evaporator coil s of a vehicular rooftop air conditioning unit. The unit further includes a condenser enclosure in which two opposed end walls are formed by a pair of condenser coils. A condenser fan is mounted for rotation in an opening in th e top wall of the enclosure and is axially aligned along the central axis of t he enclosure along with the fan motor which is suspended inside the enclosure beneath the fan. A slinger dish is mounted on the motor shaft beneath the motor in close proximity with the floor of the enclosure. The floor, in turn , slopes inwardly from all sides toward the center of the enclosure and condensate generated by the evaporator coils of the unit is channeled into t he enclosure and collected in a recess beneath the motor. Theslinger dish is arranged to draw condensate that is collected in the floor recess and distribute the condensate over the surfaces of the two condenser coils where by the condensate is carried out of the unit in the form of a vapor.
