DRAIN PAN WITH OVERFLOW FEATURES
A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) unit includes a drain pan including a basin defined by a base and a plurality of side walls configured to collect condensate from an evaporator of the HVAC unit. The HVAC unit also includes a drain port disposed in the base of the basin and arranged such that the drain pan is configured to direct the condensate toward the drain port and out of the basin, a protruded portion extending from an outer surface of a side wall of the plurality of side walls, and a passage proximate to a top edge of the side wall of the plurality of side walls and configured to facilitate overflow of the condensate out of the basin and along the protruded portion.
AIR PLENUM WITH LEG HEIGHT INDICATOR
An air conditioning appliance includes a housing, a drain pan positioned below the housing along the vertical direction, and a plenum which is attached to the housing and to the drain pan. The drain pan includes a socket configured to receive a leg. The plenum includes an indicator mark which is aligned with the socket along the vertical direction when the drain pan is attached to the plenum.

AIR CONDITIONER VENTILATION DEVICE AND AIR CONDITIONER VENTILATION METHOD
An outdoor-heat-exchanger ventilation channel definer defines an outdoor-heat-exchanger ventilation channel in which an outdoor heat exchanger is located. The outdoor-heat-exchanger ventilation channel definer has a first outdoor-heat-exchanger inlet, an outdoor-heat-exchanger outlet, and a second outdoor-heat-exchanger inlet. The first outdoor-heat-exchanger inlet and the outdoor-heat-exchanger outlet each are connected to an exterior space. The second outdoor-heat-exchanger inlet is connected to a target room. An outdoor fan creates an airflow in the outdoor-heat-exchanger ventilation channel. The airflow includes outdoor air in the exterior space drawn through the first outdoor-heat-exchanger inlet and indoor air in the target room drawn through the second outdoor-heat-exchanger inlet, passing through the outdoor heat exchanger, and discharged to the exterior space through the outdoor-heat-exchanger outlet.
Fresh air dehumidification device and packaged terminal air conditioner using same
A fresh air dehumidification device of a PTAC includes a cross-flow fan, a main evaporator, an air supply channel communicated with the cross-flow fan via the main evaporator, and an air exhausting device formed in the air supply channel for supplying air to the main evaporator. The air inlet of the air supply channel is connected to outdoor and the air outlet of the air supply channel is formed on a first air intake of the main evaporator. Fresh air passing through the air supply channel and the air exhausting device and is dehumidified by the main evaporator and then flows into the indoor so that the main evaporator of a PTAC is used as a dehumidifier in the dehumidification process, but without needing to increase a separate dehumidification system. So, the structure of the present disclosure can reduce the manufacturing cost of the PTAC.
