Abstract
A mounting and collection pan for an air conditioning unit including a bottom portion having a perimeter and a first flow surface, a sidewall extending upwardly from the perimeter and a first portal arranged in the sidewall. The air conditioning unit is secured to the bottom portion and the first flow surface is angled to direct a liquid condensate collected from the air conditioning unit to the first portal via gravity. The bottom portion may further include a first substantially horizontal mounting surface having a first means for securing the air conditioner unit thereto and is elevationally higher than the first flow surface.
