摘要

A water chiller and/or air cooled refrigeration unit having an upper compartment in which a fan is mounted, a condenser through which the fan draws cooling air, and, mounted beneath the condenser, other components such as a compressor with drive motor, pump and an evaporator wherein removable covers are provided for said other components, each of the removable covers comprising a generally vertical wall portion of sheet material and integral therewith a roof portion of sheet material which slopes inwardly and upwardly from the upper edge of the generally vertical wall portion, each of the covers co-operating with another similar cover on the opposite side of the unit to provide a complete roof and side walls to enclose other components beneath the condenser and fixing means to retain the covers in position. Two or more of the covers may be provided on each side of the unit. Preferably the unit has a rigid base with a generally flat upper deck mounting the other components, side panels mounted on the condenser to form a condenser unit, corner posts connectable to the corners of the deck and to the ends of the condenser unit, end panels between the pair of corner posts at each end of the unit and a rigid spine extending between said end panels and pulling said end panels inwardly, the rigid spine also mounting the fixing means for upper edges of the covers.
