Patent number: 12007138Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes an enclosure that is divided by a partition extending between a first panel and a second panel of the enclosure such that the partition defines an outdoor air flow path and a return air flow path through the enclosure. The partition includes an opening extending between the outdoor airflow path and the return airflow path. The HVAC system also includes an energy recovery wheel that translatably extends through the opening and is positioned within the outdoor air flow path and the return air flow path. The energy recovery wheel is disposed within the enclosure at an oblique angle relative to the outdoor air flow path and the return air flow path.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2021Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: Tyco Fire & Security GmbHInventors: Vinay Nanjappa, Marcel P. Ferrere, Jr., Vishal S. Jagtap, Vijay A R, Chandra S. Yelamanchili, Curtis W. Caskey, Rajiv K. Karkhanis
