  • DAMPER FOR HVAC SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20220252298
    Abstract: A damper for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a damper blade, a frame coupled to the damper blade and defining a perimeter of an air flow path through the damper, and a frame member of the frame. The frame member defines a portion of the perimeter of the air flow path and includes a base portion, an upstream end portion, and a downstream end portion. Each of the upstream end portion and the downstream end portion extends obliquely from the base portion.

  • STATIC AIR MIXER
    Publication number: 20080153409
    Abstract: A static air mixing device is provided. The mixing device includes a rectangular array of louver systems. Each louver system includes a plurality of vanes defining through flow passages therebetween. The vanes are oriented to deflect incoming air in a direction toward an immediately adjacent louver system. The combination of louver systems effects vortex flow of air downstream of the static mixing device.
