Abstract

An air intake and exhaust assembly includes an air exhaust pipe, a connection pipe, and an air intake pipe arranged adjacent to the air exhaust pipe. The air exhaust pipe includes an air exhaust channel formed in the air exhaust pipe. One end of the connection pipe is connected to a lower end of the air exhaust pipe and another end of the connection pipe is configured to be connected to an air exhaust volute of a packaged air conditioner, such that the air exhaust channel is communicated with an air outlet of the air exhaust volute. An air intake channel is formed between an inner wall of the air intake pipe and an outer wall of the air exhaust pipe, and the air intake channel is communicated with an air inlet of the packaged air conditioner.

First claim
