Abstract
Disclosed herein are evaporator assemblies for heat pump systems. The evaporator units can comprise a housing defining an interior chamber, an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet and the air outlet can form an air flow path through the interior chamber, and an evaporator unit can be positioned within the interior chamber such that the air flow path contacts the evaporator unit. The air inlet having a semi-circular cross section through which air flows into the interior chamber, the semi-circular cross section having a straight edge and a curved edge. A velocity magnitude of the air flowing from the air inlet into contact with the evaporator unit can deviate less than 0.1 m/s from the average air velocity across the surface area of the evaporator.
