  • Patent number: 11898771
    Abstract: A terminal unit for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a housing defining a plenum and having a first panel and a second panel disposed opposite each other. The first panel has a first outlet opening and a second outlet opening, and the second panel has a first inlet opening configured to receive a first air flow and a second inlet opening configured to receive a second air flow. The terminal unit includes a sound attenuator including an inlet configured to receive the first air flow and an outlet configured to discharge the first air flow into the housing via the first inlet opening. The terminal unit further includes first and second blowers. The first blower is configured to discharge air from the plenum via the first outlet opening, and the second blower is configured to discharge air from the plenum via the second outlet opening.

  • Publication number: 20140373947
    Abstract: A gas flow system for a machine. The gas flow system can include an air filtration system which can include a debris chamber. The gas flow system can also include a first conduit, a second conduit, and one or more tabs. The first conduit can extend from an upstream end to a downstream end. The upstream end of the first conduit can be connected in fluid communication with the debris chamber, and the downstream end of the first conduit can be positioned within the second conduit. The one or more tabs can be positioned within the second conduit adjacent to the downstream end of the first conduit. The second conduit can include one or more of a decreasing diameter and a substantially consistent diameter adjacent to and downstream of the downstream end of the first conduit.
