  • Patent number: 11662105
    Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) unit includes a housing having a base wall, a first electrical component coupled to the base wall, a panel movably coupled to the housing and configured to transition between a closed configuration that defines an air gap between the panel and the base wall and that blocks access to the first electrical component and an open configuration that enables access to the first electrical component, and a second electrical component coupled to the panel. The second electrical component is disposed on a side of the panel opposite the air gap in the closed configuration of the panel.

  • Patent number: 11378464
    Abstract: The embodiments described herein include sensor mounting clamps configured to lock a sensor, such as a temperature sensor, in place relative to a structure, such as a pipe or tube, of a heating, ventilating, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) unit. More specifically, the sensor mounting clamps described herein include sensor mounting portions configured to receive a sensor, and to hold the sensor in place relative to a structure of an HVAC unit. In addition, the sensor mounting clamps described herein include locking mechanisms having interlocking pockets configured to lock the sensor mounting clamps in place around a structure of an HVAC unit. For example, the sensor mounting clamps described herein may include interlocking pockets having interior passages configured to receive a retention piece, such as a cotter pin, cylindrical pin, or screw, to lock the interlocking pockets in place relative to each other, or may include interlocking pockets configured to directly engage with each other.
