A heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) system includes an array of packaged units; and a controller to obtain an operating condition of the array of packaged units, derive the operating condition to construct an operating pattern, select one or more packaged units to be adjusted to increase efficiency of the array of packaged units based on the operating pattern, and to adjust operation of the one or more packaged units selected by the controller.

Method of improving air cooled packaged units performance for multi-packaged-units installations

A sound enclosure of a compressor to attenuate an operational sound level of the compressor is disclosed. The sound enclosure may be configured to generally enclose the compressor and attenuate radiantly emitted sound by the compressor. The sound enclosure may be configured to include a plurality of assembly sections, particularly two side sections and one bottom section, where the two side sections can be joined together like two halves of a clam shell and joined to the bottom section to facilitate easy assembly. The sound enclosure may form openings at longitudinal ends of the sound enclosure to accommodate refrigerant lines. The assembly sections of the sound enclosure may include one or more openings to accommodate a compressor junction box, wire bundles, oil lines, mounting mechanisms, etc.

Sound enclosure for a compressor

A fan assembly and a method of assembling a diffuser collar in the fan assembly are disclosed. The fan assembly includes an impeller including a plurality of blades. The impeller has an impeller diameter. A duct is configured to receive an outflow provided by the impeller. The duct has a duct exit diameter that is larger than the impeller diameter. The fan assembly further includes a diffuser collar extending from the impeller toward a duct exit. The diffuser collar is configured and arranged to radially expand the outflow provided by the impeller. The diffuser collar has a first diameter at a first edge disposed a first distance from the impeller. A contour extends from the first edge toward a second edge having a second diameter. The second edge is disposed a second distance from the impeller. The first distance is smaller than the second distance, the first diameter is smaller than the second diameter, and the first and second diameters are smaller than the duct exit diameter.
