Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for filter racks for blower coil units. An example filter rack for a blower coil unit includes a frame. The frame includes a rear frame structure, a front frame structure coupled to and spaced apart from the rear frame structure to define a slot that is configured to house a filter for filtering air flowing from a blow coil unit, and a side extending between the front frame structure and the rear frame structure. The side defines a first opening to the slot to enable the filter to be inserted into and removed from the slot. The example filter rack also includes a magnet fixed along the side and a panel configured to couple to the side via the magnet. The panel securely encloses the filter within the slot when coupled to the side and provides access to the slot when decoupled from the side.

Abstract: An improved modular air conditioning apparatus utilizing heat pump assemblies and capable of heating or cooling adjacent room areas separated by a common wall partition. The apparatus comprises a first housing compartment and a second housing compartment which are supported by vertical riser ducts, each such housing compartment disposed adjacent to one of the room areas and characterized by three access sides, and one non-access side. One access side in each housing compartment is selected as a component access side. Adjacent non-access sides of each housing compartment define a vertical riser duct. A heat pump assembly is disposed in each housing compartment and a blower draws air through the condenser-evaporator thereof. All working components are removable through access ports provided by the removal of intake grille assemblies disposed at the component access side selected for each housing compartment placement.
