  • Patent number: 5959254
    Abstract: An insulator has been invented for use between adjacent portions of wire coils of a helical heater wire, the insulator, in one aspect, having a body member with a front, a rear, a first side, a second side, a top, and a bottom, a first groove formed in the front of the body member and extending from the first side to the second side, the first groove for receiving and holding a first portion of a first wire coil. In certain aspects the insulator also has a second groove formed in the rear of the body member spaced apart from the opposite the first groove, the second groove extending from the first side to the second side, the second groove for receiving and holding a portion of a second wire coil adjacent to and spaced apart from the first wire coil. In one aspect the first and second grooves are at a top of the body member and another pair of such grooves are at the bottom of the body member. A heater element has been invented with such an insulator and a heater has been developed with such a heater element.

  • Patent number: 5664431
    Abstract: A drain pan system has been invented for receiving water condensed on and flowing from an air conditioning coil, including a pan with a pan member for receiving and holding water from the coil, and the pan member having a side lip for connecting to an adjacent pan, the adjacent pan adjacent the coil and disposed at an angle to the pan member. In one aspect the drain pan is used with the coil which is generally configured in a V-shape when viewed from an end thereof. In one aspect the system includes a lateral pan or pans sealingly connectible to the adjacent pan and to which the pan member is sealingly secured.

  • Patent number: 5284027
    Abstract: A drain pan with an opening or openings through which air flows to a coil and a coil which, in one embodiment, has a cover plate so air flowing through a drain pan flows between vanes of a coil rather than out from an opening at an end of the coil; such a pan in combination with such a coil; and a system with such a coil-pan combination which uses a single pan for multiple orientations of the coil-pan combination in both horizontal flow, up-flow, and down-flow systems.

  • Patent number: 4665806
    Abstract: An air distributor for mounting in a duct outlet in an air conditioning heating and ventilation system is provided to direct the flow of air within the conditioned space. A frame is mounted within the conditioned space and in fluid communication with the outlet of the duct. The frame has an opening therethrough. A deflection member is movably mounted to the frame from an open position wherein the air can flow into the conditioned space to a closed position where essentially no air flows into the conditioned space. The deflection member is selectively adjustable in intermediate positions between the open and closed positions. A diverter is provided with the deflection member and is accessible for adjustment from the conditioned space to selectively direct the air flow between the frame and deflection member into the conditioned space in a two way, three way and four way pattern.

  • Patent number: 3954289
    Abstract: Disclosed is a plenum starter piece useful for attaching conduit to a planar plenum. The starter piece includes a body member which is a relatively short cylindrical piece having an external flange adapted to fit against the surface of the plenum and to accommodate fastening means. The outer end of the body member is proportioned for telescoping engagement with a conduit. Telescoped into the flanged end of the body member is an insert having a projecting end which is proportioned to fit through and engage the edges of a hole cut in the plenum.
