HYBRID WINDOW AIR CONDITIONING UNIT
A hybrid window air conditioning unit is disclosed. The hybrid window air conditioning unit may include an indoor unit and an outdoor unit operatively connected by a connection unit. The connection unit may have an interior channel containing refrigerant piping and electrical wiring connecting between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. In some embodiments, the hybrid air conditioning may include a height-adjustable outdoor unit mounting assembly to allow the outdoor unit to be disposed substantially flush with or below a window.
Single-package air conditioner and methods of operation
A single-package air conditioner unit, as provided herein, may include a cabinet, an outdoor heat exchanger, an indoor heat exchanger, a compressor, and a controller. The cabinet may define an outdoor portion and an indoor portion. The outdoor heat exchanger may be disposed in the outdoor portion. The indoor heat exchanger may be disposed in the indoor portion. The compressor may be in fluid communication with the outdoor heat exchanger and the indoor heat exchanger to circulate a refrigerant therebetween. The controller may be in operative communication with the compressor. The controller may be configured to initiate a conditioning operation. The conditioning operation may include receiving a demand response signal corresponding to electric power access, determining occupancy of an indoor environment, and initiating a responsive conditioning cycle in response to receiving the demand response signal, the responsive conditioning cycle being based on the determined occupancy.

AIR CONDITIONER
An air conditioner includes a chassis and an electric control box vertically installed on the chassis. The chassis includes a socket. The electric control box includes a pre-positioning member and a fixation structure provided at a bottom of the electric control box. The pre-positioning member corresponds to the socket. The pre-positioning member is configured to be inserted in the socket of the chassis to position the electric control box. The fixation structure is configured to connect and fix the electric control box to the chassis.
WINDOW AIR CONDITIONER
A window air conditioner includes a chassis, a housing including an indoor-side housing and an outdoor-side housing respectively arranged at two sides of the chassis, an electric control box installed at the chassis and located in the outdoor-side housing, a junction box arranged in the indoor-side housing, and a wiring plate arranged at the chassis and including a power supply wire slot, a strong electric wire slot, and a weak electric wire slot isolated from each other. A power wire electrically connected to the electric control box is arranged in the power supply wire slot. A strong electric wire electrically connected to at least one of the electric control box or the junction box is arranged in the strong electric wire slot. A weak electric wire electrically connected to the electric control box is arranged in the weak electric wire slot.

Ruggedized environmental control unit
The present disclosure is directed to implementation of an environmental control unit using rotomolded techniques to fabricate the structures of the unit instead of the standard conventional sheet metal, extruded, forged, and punched parts. Such implementations will provide a lighter weight and more durable mechanical configuration that will also simplify inspection, simplify assembly/disassembly, and reduce fabrication costs. Implementations incorporate rotationally-molded interlocking structures to contain and attach the critical items of the ECU's mechanical components including the compressor, and the indoor and outdoor coils, as well as the fan and blower motor assembly. In one implementation, the rotomolded structure is strengthened and insulated (thermally and acoustically) by filling the interior void of the rotationally molded structure with a closed-cell foam.
