Base pan assembly

A partition wall for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a frame defining a perimeter of the partition wall, and one or more panels extending within the frame. Each of the one or more panels comprises a flange configured to abut another of the one or more panels or the frame to provide a substantially air-tight engagement there between.

Partition wall for an HVAC device

A heating unit for a heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system may have a first airflow path through the heating unit, a second airflow path through the heating unit, and a heater assembly having a first heating coil positioned within the first airflow path, a second heating coil positioned within the second airflow path, and a coil divider separating the first heating coil and the second heating coil.

Heating unit with a partition

A fan shroud for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) unit may include an outer wall to couple to a housing of the HVAC unit and an inner wall disposed within the outer wall. Additionally, the inner wall may be air permeable. The fan shroud may also include an acoustic damping material disposed between the outer wall and the inner wall. The fan shroud may encircle a fan of the HVAC unit to reduce noise.

HVAC fan housing systems and methods

A wall panel assembly for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit includes a panel having a main body, where the panel is configured to be fastened to a frame of the HVAC unit, and a plurality of stiffeners attached to the panel along a perimeter of the main body. A stiffener of the plurality of stiffeners includes a flat portion and a raised portion offset from the flat portion, where the raised portion is configured to sealingly engage with a component disposed within the HVAC unit.

Side panel assembly for roof top units

A heater assembly for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system has a heater and a controller enclosure. The heater has a plurality of heating elements in a frame that has two opposing ends. The controller enclosure has two end walls and a plurality of side walls in a non-rectangular polygonal configuration. One of the two opposing ends of the frame is coupled to one of the two end walls such that an orientation of the heating elements may be changed based on respective locations of the plurality of side walls of the controller enclosure.

Heater assembly of a heating unit

A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) unit may include a supply fan section having a supply fan disposed therein to force a supply air flow through a discharge plenum of the HVAC unit. The HVAC unit may also include an economizer positioned adjacent the supply fan section to receive an outdoor air flow and direct the outdoor air flow into the supply fan section.

Auxiliary economizer for an HVAC system

The present disclosure relates to an HVAC system door assembly that includes a door that includes a panel having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, and a first seal circuit. The first seal circuit is disposed on the first side. The HVAC system door assembly also includes a door frame that includes a second seal circuit. HVAC system door assembly further includes a ridge projecting from one of the first seal circuit or the second seal circuit configured to align with and engage a central portion of the other of the first seal circuit or the second seal circuit when the door is in a closed position with respect to the door frame. The ridge includes a cross-sectional profile having a flattened peak section with sloping side sections that extend from boundaries of the flattened peak section to a base of the ridge.

HVAC systems having air-tight access doors

The present disclosure relates to a centering system for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) unit to be mounted to a curb. The centering system includes a centering wedge configured to couple to a base rail of the HVAC unit, the base rail having a lateral surface and a base surface along a length of the HVAC unit. The centering wedge includes an angled surface configured to extend between the lateral surface of the base rail and the base surface of the base rail. The angled surface is configured to contact the curb during installation of the HVAC unit to guide the HVAC unit toward a centered position on the curb.

HVAC unit centering systems and methods

A panel assembly for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a base panel having a sheet and a flange formed around a perimeter of the sheet, where the flange includes a plurality of openings, a stiffener bracket configured to couple to the flange and reinforce the base panel, and a liner panel configured to couple to the flange and reinforce the base panel, where the plurality of openings is configured to interchangeably couple to the stiffener bracket and the liner panel.

Panel for an HVAC system

An energy recovery wheel includes a frame positioned within a passage of a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system. The frame is configured to rotate about an axis of the passage relative to the HVAC system and includes an opening that is configured to transmit an air flow. The energy recovery wheel also includes a heat transfer element coupled to the frame and positioned within the opening, where the heat transfer element is permeable and configured to transition between a closed orientation to occlude the opening and direct the air flow across the heat transfer element and an open orientation to substantially unblock the opening and mitigate interaction between the air flow and the heat transfer element.

Energy recovery wheel assembly for an HVAC system

The present disclosure relates to a liquid drainage system for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, where the liquid drainage system includes a drain pan configured to collect and drain condensate within a housing. The drain pan is configured to be mounted within the housing separate from an evaporator assembly and is removable from the housing independent of the evaporator assembly. The liquid drainage system also includes a drain pan extension plate configured to collect and drain condensate to the drain pan, where the drain pan extension plate is configured be removably mounted within the housing. The drain pan extension plate and the drain pan are configured to overlap with one another, in an assembled configuration, along a direction of airflow across the evaporator assembly.
