Publication number: 20240167700Abstract: A structural support system for a fan array system. The system allows for a modular bulkhead wall to be customized and installed within a cabinet of an air handling unit. The modular bulkhead wall comprises one or more intermediate bulkhead stiffening elements that enable the modular bulkhead wall to support the fan array system.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Matthew Wayne Kent, Luis Burgos

Publication number: 20240125327Abstract: The present invention is an HVAC fan array wiring system that provides a quick connect box that is provided within the air stream of an HVAC air handler. Because the wiring for each fan within the fan array is to be connected to the quick connect box, the wiring materials and placement of the wiring can be predetermined at the time the fan array is designed. Accordingly, the novel wiring system and quick connect box reduces redundancies in manufacturing and installation of the fan array. Furthermore, the quick connect box and wiring system allows for easy installation of the HVAC fan array at a job site and improves a customer's experience with the control panel. This is primarily because, with the use of the claimed invention, an electrician need only link a main control and power line to the quick connect box and therefore, can install the control panel in a location that provides ease of access to the customer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Q-PAC Systems Inc.Inventors: Robert Clarke Story, Matthew Wayne Kent, David Kurt Thomas

Publication number: 20210372634Abstract: The present invention relates to a modular bulkhead system that provides structural support for a fan array system. Although this system is very useful for retrofit installation of new fan array and bulkhead systems within already existing air handling units, it also provides several advantages for new air handling units when installed during their original equipment manufacturer. The modular bulkhead system allows for a modular bulkhead wall to be customized and installed within a cabinet of an air handling unit. The modular bulkhead wall cleverly provides one or more intermediate bulkhead stiffening elements that enable the modular bulkhead wall to adequate support the fan array system and resist the differential pressures that result on opposing sides of the bulkhead wall during operation of the air handling unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2020Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventors: Matthew Wayne Kent, Luis Burgos
