Removable energy recovery wheel assembly for an HVAC system

An energy recovery wheel assembly for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:

• support rails configured to couple to an enclosure of the HVAC system;
• an energy recovery wheel configured to be supported by the support rails;
• and
• bypass dampers configured to mount adjacent to the energy recovery wheel, couple to the support rails, and extend between the support rails, wherein the energy recovery wheel is configured to move along the support rails relative to the bypass dampers in an assembled configuration of the HVAC system, wherein the bypass dampers are configured to enable air flow to bypass the energy recovery wheel and flow between a first side of the energy recovery wheel and a second side of the energy recovery wheel.

A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:

• an enclosure comprising a partition defining a first air flow path and a second air flow path through the enclosure;
• a railing system coupled to the enclosure and comprising two or more support rails;
• an energy recovery wheel slideably coupled to the railing system and configured to translate along the railing system between an installed configuration within the enclosure and an extracted configuration external to the enclosure;
• and
• a bypass damper positioned within the enclosure and extending between the two or more support rails of the railing system, wherein, in the installed configuration of the energy recovery wheel, the energy recovery wheel and the bypass damper form a portion of the first air flow path, and wherein the bypass damper is configured to direct air flow along the first air flow path to bypass the energy recovery wheel and flow from a first side of the energy recovery wheel to a second side of the energy recovery wheel.
