  • Auxiliary filter for the indoor unit of a mini-split heat pump
    Patent number: 11162697
    Abstract: The indoor unit of a mini-split heat pump has an auxiliary filter mounted atop the air inlet opening of the indoor unit. The auxiliary filter comprising three parallel filtering stages and each of these filtering stages having an air flow capacity equivalent to a nominal air flow rating of the indoor unit. The three filtering stages improve low-air-quality tolerance of a residential indoor unit of a mini-split heat pump, so that commercial and industrial users can also benefit from these high efficiency heat pumps to reduce their carbon footprint.
