Abstract
A heating unit for a heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system may have a first airflow path through the heating unit, a second airflow path through the heating unit, and a heater assembly having a first heating coil positioned within the first airflow path, a second heating coil positioned within the second airflow path, and a coil divider separating the first heating coil and the second heating coil.
Claims25
A heating unit for a heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
- a first airflow path through the heating unit;
- a second airflow path through the heating unit;
- a heater assembly including a first heating coil positioned within the first airflow path, a second heating coil positioned within the second airflow path, and a coil divider extending along a length of the heating unit from the first heating coil to the second heating coil by a distance to separate the first heating coil and the second heating coil such that the first heating coil and the second heating coil are separated from one another along the length of the heating unit by the distance, wherein the first heating coil, the second heating coil, and the coil divider are aligned with one another along the length of the heating unit;
- a partition abutting the coil divider and separating the first airflow path and the second airflow path within the heating unit upstream of the heater assembly;
- and
- an outlet configured to discharge a comingled airflow comprising a first airflow directed along the first airflow path across the first heating coil and a second airflow directed along the second airflow path across the second heating coil from the heating unit.

A heating unit for a heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
- a first blower configured to direct a first airflow along a first airflow path through the heating unit;
- a second blower configured to direct a second airflow along a second airflow path through the heating unit;
- a heater assembly including a first heating coil positioned within the first airflow path, a second heating coil positioned within the second airflow path, and a coil divider extending for a distance from the first heating coil to the second heating coil to separate the first heating coil from the second heating coil such that the first heating coil and the second heating coil are separated from one another along a length of the heating unit by the distance, wherein the first heating coil, the second heating coil, and the coil divider are aligned with one another along the length of the heating unit;
- a partition abutting the coil divider and separating the first airflow path and the second airflow path within the heating unit upstream of the heater assembly;
- and
- an outlet configured to discharge a comingled airflow comprising the first airflow directed across the first heating coil and the second airflow directed across the second heating coil from the heating unit.

A heating unit for a heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
- a heater assembly including a first heating coil positioned within a first airflow path through the heating unit, and a second heating coil positioned within a second airflow path through the heating unit, wherein the first heating coil and the second heating coil are aligned with one another along a length of the heating unit and extend along the length of the heating unit in a longitudinal direction crosswise to a first direction of airflow through the first airflow path and the second airflow path, and wherein the first heating coil and the second heating coil are separated from one another by a coil divider extending for a distance in the longitudinal direction from the first heating coil to the second heating coil;
- a first blower configured to direct a first airflow toward the heater assembly in the first direction;
- a second blower configured to direct a second airflow toward the heater assembly in the first direction;
- a partition abutting the coil divider and separating the first airflow path and the second airflow path within the heating unit upstream of the heater assembly;
- and
- an outlet configured to discharge a comingled airflow comprising the first airflow directed across the first heating coil and the second airflow directed across the second heating coil from the heating unit in a second direction crosswise to the first direction.
