A fan coil unit includes a cabinet, a heat exchanger located in the cabinet, an airflow inlet to admit an airflow into the cabinet, and an airflow outlet to allow the airflow to exit the cabinet. A fan is located in the cabinet to urge the airflow through the cabinet. The fan has an axis of rotation perpendicular to a general flow direction of the airflow. A method of operating a fan coil unit includes flowing an airflow into a cabinet via an airflow inlet and through a fan. The fan is oriented such that a fan axis of rotation is perpendicular to a general flow direction of the airflow from the airflow inlet to an airflow outlet. The airflow is urged across a heat exchanger located in the cabinet, the heat exchanger conditioning the airflow and is output from the cabinet through the airflow outlet.

Slim fan coil unit

An air terminal for a heating or air conditioning system including a housing, a fresh air inlet in the housing to supply a fresh airflow to the air terminal, an outlet diffuser at the housing to allow airflow from the air terminal into a conditioned space, an inlet diffuser located at the housing to allow return airflow from the conditioned space into the air terminal, a coil located in the housing to condition the fresh airflow and/or the return airflow prior to the fresh airflow and/or the return airflow flowing into the conditioned space. A fan is located in the housing to urge return airflow through the inlet diffuser and across the coil. The fan and the inlet diffuser are located at a first side of the coil and the outlet diffuser and the fresh air inlet are located at a second side of the coil opposite the first side.
