  • Publication number: 20230314040
    Abstract: A coil assembly is provided, comprising: a direct expansion (DX) coil circulating refrigerant and cooling supply air passing over the DX coil by heat exchange to generate dehumidified air; a reheat coil circulating the refrigerant and heating the dehumidified air by heat exchange to generate output air; a first horizontal drain pan below the DX and reheat coils in a first horizontal position; a second horizontal drain pan below the DX and reheat coils in a second horizontal position; a first vertical drain pan below the DX and reheat coils in a vertical position, wherein the first and second horizontal drain pans are connected to the first vertical drain pan, the reheat coil is secured between the first and second horizontal drain pans, and the first horizontal drain pan is on an opposite side of the DX coil and the reheat coil from the second horizontal drain pan.

  • Patent number: 11168902
    Abstract: A wind baffle operable to control air movement to an air inlet of an air-conditioner, the wind baffle comprising: a frame defining an inlet side, an outdoor side opposite the inlet side, and a plurality of wall sections between the inlet side and the outdoor side; a back plate formed on the outdoor side; a first variable air vent formed on a first wall section and being configured to selectively pass or restrict a first air flow through the first variable air vent; a second variable air vent formed on a second wall section and being configured to selectively pass or restrict a second air flow through the second variable air vent; and a securing mechanism on the inlet side configured to attach the wind baffle to the air inlet such that the inlet side faces the air inlet, wherein the inlet side is unobstructed, allowing air to pass freely.

  • Publication number: 20210102726
    Abstract: A low ambient cooling system for a variable refrigerant flow heat pump includes an outdoor air conditioning unit and an indoor air conditioning unit. The outdoor air conditioning unit includes an outdoor heat exchanger with one or more valves that selectively control refrigerant flow through different sections of condenser coils during a low ambient cooling mode. During the low ambient cooling mode, the condenser coils of the outdoor heat exchanger include an active coil section through which refrigerant flows and an inactive coil section that is closed. An outdoor-coil restrictor plate with holes is attached to the active condenser coil in the outdoor air conditioning unit. The outdoor-coil restrictor plate restricts excessive heat release from the active coil section of the condenser coils in the outdoor heat exchanger during the low ambient cooling mode.
