  • Airflow control in heating and air-conditioning units
    Patent number: 7563159
    Abstract: A ventilating air and airflow control in a ventilating, heating or air conditioning system is provided. A structure and method to provide air flow mixture via an air mixer structure or ‘baffle’ located within a blend door are provided. The simplified HVAC unit provides a baffle/blend door assembly comprising an air mixer structure wherein the attachment means of baffle and barrel door is such that it provides for ease of assembly. The baffle/barrel door assembly provides for smaller packaging volume with the same functionality as larger HVAC units.

  • HVAC with detached deflector
    Publication number: 20060065388
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of directing ventilating air and airflow control in a ventilating, heating or air conditioning system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a structure and method to provide air flow mixture via with reduced heat pickup utilizing a separate piece air deflector located within the lower housing of the HVAC unit, and ribs to direct airflow. The HVAC unit provides an inserted deflector means which provides for smaller packaging volume, allows air deflection and airflow towards the distribution area of the unit, and, provides a drainage means for undesired water, before it reaches the distribution area, yielding an HVAC unit, with the same functionality as larger HVAC units.
