Abstract
A discharge plenum for use with a packaged HVAC unit has an outer enclosure with opposing side walls, a front wall, a rear wall, and a top wall. A planar barrier is arranged within the discharge plenum, and extends between the side walls and furthermore extends to the front wall. One air volume is arranged in a bottom portion of the discharge plenum directly below the planar barrier, and another is arranged in a top portion of the discharge plenum directly above the planar barrier, so that the planar barrier separates the two air volumes. A turning vane is provided within the discharge plenum to direct a flow of air received into the discharge plenum towards the air volume in the bottom portion.
