  • Silencer assembly for air handling unit of an HVAC system
    Patent number: 11874017
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a silencer module for a silencer bank of an air handling unit. The silencer module includes a support shell having a first inner wall and a second inner wall opposite the first inner wall. The silencer module also includes a first baffle coupled to the first inner wall, where the first baffle includes a first perforated baffle sheet, and a second baffle coupled to the second inner wall, where the second baffle includes a second perforated baffle sheet. The silencer module further includes an air flow gap that extends between the first perforated baffle sheet and the second perforated baffle sheet, where the air flow gap has a width that is substantially constant along a dimension of the first perforated baffle sheet and the second perforated baffle sheet that extends generally parallel to a direction of air flow through the air flow gap.

  • HVAC UNIT ACTUATOR ENCLOSURE
    Publication number: 20230228450
    Abstract: An enclosure for an actuator of an HVAC unit includes a hollow member with an inner shell, an outer shell, and an insulation layer disposed between the inner shell and the outer shell. A cavity within the inner shell operates to receive an actuator. An exterior surface of the hollow member has curvilinear shape configured to limit resistance to airflow over the exterior surface. A base of the enclosure is connected to a first end of the hollow member and a cover is detachably coupled to a second end of the hollow member opposite the first end.
