Appl. No.:

10/397137

Inventors:

Larry Stutts - Mooresville NC, US
Robert Rodgers - Mooresville NC, US
Jack Whitley - Huntersville NC, US
Kimberly Griger - Pittsburgh PA, US

Assignee:

Ingersoll-Rand Company - Woodcliff Lake NJ

International Classification:

F04B039/00

US Classification:

417/313000

Abstract:

A fluid cooling assembly comprising a compressor system, a frame structure, a cooler body, a fluid inlet in the cooler body fluidly interconnected to the compressor system, and a fluid outlet in the cooler body fluidly interconnected with the fluid inlet and the compressor system. The cooler body is pivotally movable about an axis away from the frame structure. The cooler body has a first and second edge, the first edge being located nearer the axis than the second edge. The fluid inlet and fluid outlet are located adjacent to the first edge of the cooler body, thus remaining fluidly interconnected to one another and the compressor system throughout movement of the cooler body toward and away from the frame structure.
