Benefits of technology

[0005]Accordingly, the present invention overcomes the limitations of the prior art by providing a unique and useful condenser booster device for an air conditioner that increases the efficiency of conventional residential and commercial air conditioning units.
[0008]Furthermore, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the shaft extension element attaches to the coupling element, thereby effectively extending the length of the existing fan motor shaft. One or more supplemental fans may be attached to the shaft extension element in a series arrangement. Once installed, the conditioner booster device increases the volume of air flow across a heat exchanging portion of the air conditioner condenser unit, thereby correspondingly increasing the rate of heat exchange.

Problems solved by technology

The time that it takes for an air conditioning compressor, an evaporator fan, and the condenser fan to run through a complete cycle results in a large consumption of energy.
This may result in a reluctance or inability to run an air conditioner unit to its full or desired capacity as there is a significant economic concern due to the cost of electricity.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]The present invention discloses a condenser booster device for use with an air conditioner condenser unit. The preferred embodiment allows a user to increase the efficiency of existing air conditioning units by increasing the rate of heat exchange. A condenser booster device is selectively attachable to an existing fan motor shaft in the air conditioner condenser unit. Once the condenser booster device is attached, a fan motor controlling the existing fan motor shaft engages at least one supplemental fan element simultaneously with an existing condenser fan.

[0014]Reference is now made to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding thereof. It may be evident, however, that the novel embodiments can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well known structures and ...

Abstract

An architecture is presented that provides a an air conditioner booster device for improving the air flow across the condensing exchanger of an air conditioning unit thereby increasing the efficiency of the air conditioning unit. The air conditioner booster device is intended to increase the air flow created by a traditional air conditioner condenser fan. The air conditioner booster device is easily removably attachable to most conventional air conditioning units.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE[0001]This application claims priority from Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 448,425 filed Mar. 2, 2011.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention pertains generally to an air conditioner booster device for increasing the air flow across the condensing exchanger of an air conditioning unit.BACKGROUND[0003]Conventional whole-house or multi-compartment air conditioners typically utilize an outdoor condenser unit to allow for heat exchange from the higher temperature refrigerant gas to the relatively cooler external atmosphere. A condenser fan is used to increase airflow across the condensing exchanger of the condenser unit thereby speeding up the rate of heat exchange. The time that it takes for an air conditioning compressor, an evaporator fan, and the condenser fan to run through a complete cycle results in a large consumption of energy. The more kilowatt-hours used, the higher the users energy bills. This may result in a reluctance or inability to run an ai...
