Abstract
A manifold assembly includes a body and a damper assembly. The body defines a first opening, a second opening, outlet third opening, and a fluid plenum. The fluid plenum fluidly couples the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening. The damper assembly includes a first damper, a second damper, and a connecting member. The first damper is disposed within the fluid plenum proximate to the first opening. The second damper is disposed within the fluid plenum proximate to the second opening. The connecting member is coupled to both the first damper and the second damper and is configured to move the first damper and the second damper to selectively open one of the first opening or the second opening while closing the one not opened.
Claims18
A manifold assembly, comprising:
- a body defining a first opening, a second opening, a third opening, and a fluid plenum, the fluid plenum fluidly coupling the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening, the first opening configured to fluidly couple the fluid plenum with an environment surrounding a building, the second opening configured to fluidly couple the fluid plenum with a space within the building, and the third opening configured to fluidly couple the fluid plenum with a dehumidifier;
- and
- a damper assembly, comprising:
- a first damper disposed within the fluid plenum proximate to the first opening;
- a second damper disposed within the fluid plenum proximate to the second opening;
- and
- a connecting member coupled to both the first damper and the second damper and configured to move the first damper and the second damper to selectively open one of the first opening and the second opening.
A dehumidifier assembly, comprising;
- a manifold defining a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening;
- a damper assembly coupled to the manifold, the damper assembly comprising:
- a first damper disposed proximate to the first opening;
- a second damper disposed proximate to the second opening;
- and
- a connecting member coupled to both the first damper and the second damper and configured to move the first damper and the second damper to selectively open one of the first opening and the second opening;
- and
- a dehumidifier coupled to the manifold at the third opening.
