Abstract
A cover for an air handling unit enclosure. The cover may include a panel defining a first surface, an insulating layer connected to the first surface of the panel via a first adhesive, and a waterproof membrane connected to the insulating layer via a second adhesive.
Claims25
A cover for an air handling unit comprising:
- a first panel defining a first panel surface and a second panel surface opposite the first panel surface;
- a second panel facing the second panel surface of the first panel and separated from the first panel by a gap;
- an insulating layer connected to the first panel surface of the first panel via a first adhesive;
- a waterproof membrane connected to the insulating layer via a second adhesive;
- a first frame rail having a first longitudinal axis that extends along a first direction, wherein the first frame rail comprises a first surface that intersects a second surface of the first frame rail at a first angle, wherein the insulating layer is connected to the first surface via the first adhesive, and wherein the waterproof membrane is connected to the second surface via a drip rail;
- and
- a second frame rail having a second longitudinal axis that extends along a second direction, wherein the second frame rail comprises a third surface that intersects a fourth surface of the second frame rail at a second angle, wherein the insulating layer is connected to the third surface via the first adhesive, wherein the waterproof membrane is connected to the fourth surface via the drip rail, and wherein the first panel extends from the first frame rail to the second frame rail.

A cover for an air handling unit, comprising:
- a first frame rail having a first longitudinal axis that extends along a first direction;
- a second frame rail having a second longitudinal axis that extends along a second direction;
- and
- a composite roof including:
- a first panel having a first panel surface and a second panel surface opposite the first panel surface, wherein the first panel is formed of a rigid material and extends from the first frame rail to the second frame rail;
- an insulating layer connected to the first panel via a first adhesive;
- a membrane connected to the insulating layer via a second adhesive, wherein the membrane is fastened to the first frame rail and the second frame rail via a drip rail;
- and
- a second panel, wherein a portion of the second panel is substantially parallel to and spaced from the first panel with an insulating material therebetween.
6 more elements
A cover system for an air handing unit, comprising:
- a first cover and a second cover that are joined to form a single air handling unit cover, wherein each of the first cover and the second cover includes:
- a first frame rail having a first longitudinal axis that extends along a first direction;
- a second frame rail having a second longitudinal axis that extends along a second direction;
- a shipping break extending between the first frame rail and the second frame rail;
- and
- a composite roof including:
- a panel having a first panel surface and a second panel surface opposite the first panel surface, wherein the panel is formed of a rigid material and extends from the first frame rail to the second frame rail and ends at the shipping break;
- an insulating layer connected to the first panel surface via a first adhesive;
- and
- a membrane connected to the insulating layer via a second adhesive, wherein the membrane ends at the shipping break and is fastened to the first frame rail and the second frame rail via a drip rail, wherein a second membrane covers a seam between the membrane of the first cover and the membrane of the second cover at the shipping break.
7 more elements
A composite roof structure for covering a frame of an air handling unit, the composite roof structure having a cross-section comprising:
- a first panel having a first panel surface and a second panel surface opposite the first panel surface, wherein the first panel is formed of a rigid material;
- an insulating layer connected to the first panel surface via a first adhesive;
- a membrane connected to the insulating layer via a second adhesive, wherein the membrane is fastened to a first surface of the frame via a drip rail;
- a second panel facing the second panel surface of the first panel;
- and
- an additional insulating layer disposed between the first panel and the second panel.
