Abstract
Disclosed herein is an apparatus, in the form of a package air conditioning unit (PAC) for conditioning air in a space. The space may comprise the interior space(s) of buildings such as hospitals, enclosed shopping malls, warehouses, factories, etc. The PAC comprises a first arrangement, in the form of a suction chamber for receiving an air stream from the space (e.g. return air) and discharging an air stream to the space (e.g. supply air). The PAC has a second arrangement, in the form of second chamber for receiving an air stream from outside the space (e.g. fresh air) and discharging an air stream to outside the space (e.g. exhaust air). The second chamber is configured to receive a portion of the return air via the suction chamber.
