Abstract
An example wall-embeddable air processing apparatus includes a cabinet having substantially parallel first and second surfaces and a plurality of air filter elements located within the cabinet. The air filter elements are arranged so that filtration surfaces of the filter elements are substantially coplanar to each other and substantially parallel to the first and second surfaces. An intake vent is operatively coupled to the cabinet and configured to enable ambient air to be drawn into the cabinet. A fan is operatively coupled to the cabinet and configured to draw the ambient air into the cabinet and to cause the ambient air to flow through the plurality of air filter elements to generate processed air.
Claims28
A wall-embeddable air processing apparatus, comprising:
- a cabinet having substantially parallel first and second surfaces;
- a plurality of air filter elements located within the cabinet and arranged so that filtration surfaces of the filter elements are substantially coplanar to each other and substantially parallel to the first and second surfaces;
- an intake vent operatively coupled to the cabinet and configured to enable ambient air to be drawn into the cabinet;
- and
- a fan operatively coupled to the cabinet and configured to draw the ambient air into the cabinet and to cause the ambient air to flow through the plurality of air filter elements to generate processed air.
A wall-embeddable air processing apparatus, comprising:
- a cabinet;
- an air filter element located within the cabinet and arranged so that the cabinet has a depth that enables the cabinet to be disposed substantially between first and second wall panels and first and second support members, wherein the first and second wall panels are separated by a distance substantially equal to a width of the first or second support member;
- an intake vent operatively coupled to the cabinet and configured to enable ambient air to be drawn into the cabinet through an aperture formed in the first wall panel;
- and
- a fan operatively coupled to the cabinet and configured to draw the ambient air into the cabinet and to cause the ambient air to flow through the air filter element to generate processed air.
A wall-embeddable air processing apparatus, comprising:
- a cabinet configured to be mounted substantially within a wall structure having first and second wall panels and first and second wall studs captured therebetween, wherein the cabinet is configured to be disposed between and mounted to the first and second wall studs;
- an intake vent operatively coupled to the cabinet and configured to enable ambient air to be drawn into the cabinet through an aperture formed in the first wall panel;
- an air filter element located within the cabinet and arranged in a low-profile filter configuration;
- and
- a fan operatively coupled to the cabinet and configured to draw ambient air into the cabinet and to cause the ambient air to flow through the air filter element.
