HVAC system for enhanced source-to-load matching in low load structures

An HVAC kit comprising:

• an air handler comprising a blower;
• a wall-mounted air conditioning unit;
• and
• a control unit comprising a temperature sensor, a processor, and a non-transitory memory device configured to store one or more instructions to cause the processor to perform one or more actions, the one or more actions comprising:
• controlling one or more operations of the air conditioning unit in response to an input by the temperature sensor;
• controlling one or more operations of the air handler in response to the input by the temperature sensor and a predetermined minimum airflow parameter for the blower;
• programming one or more control parameters for the air conditioning unit and the air handler;
• and
• independently controlling a variable BTU output of the air conditioning unit and a cubic feet per minute delivery output of the air handler,
• wherein the variable cubic feet per minute delivery output of the air handler is configured to transfer the variable BTU output of the air conditioning unit from the interior structure defining the return air plenum to the one or more interior rooms of the dwelling via at least one supply air duct operably coupled to the air handler,
• wherein the variable BTU output of the air conditioning unit is bifurcated from the cubic feet per minute delivery output of the air handler.

An air conditioning method comprising:

• initiating, with a controller, a cooling mode of a wall-mounted air conditioning unit, wherein the wall-mounted air conditioning unit is housed in an interior structure defining a return air plenum;
• initiating, with the controller, a fan speed of an air handler, wherein the air handler is housed in the interior structure defining the return air plenum;
• independently modulating, with the controller, a variable BTU output of the wall-mounted air conditioning unit and a variable cubic feet per minute delivery output of the air handler,
• and
• distributing, via one or more supply ducts operably coupled to the air handler, a conditioned air volume from the interior structure defining the return air plenum into one or more interior rooms of a dwelling,
• wherein the variable cubic feet per minute delivery output of the air handler is configured to transfer the variable BTU output of the air conditioning unit from the interior structure defining the return air plenum to the one or more interior rooms of the dwelling via at least one supply air duct operably coupled to the air handler,
• wherein the variable BTU output of the air conditioning unit is bifurcated from the variable cubic feet per minute delivery output of the air handler.
