Abstract
A contaminant scrubber of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a sorption cavity, a sorption inlet damper configured to receive return air from a conditioned space and into the sorption cavity, and a sorption outlet damper configured to output the return air from the sorption cavity and toward the conditioned space. The contaminant scrubber also includes an outer housing about the sorption cavity, the outer housing having a mount-facing side wall along which the sorption inlet damper and the sorption outlet damper are disposed.

A contaminant scrubber of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the contaminant scrubber comprising:
- a sorption cavity;
- a sorption inlet damper configured to receive return air from a conditioned space and into the sorption cavity;
- a sorption outlet damper configured to output the return air from the sorption cavity and toward the conditioned space;
- and
- an outer housing about the sorption cavity, the outer housing including a mount-facing side wall along which the sorption inlet damper and the sorption outlet damper are disposed.
A contaminant scrubber of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the contaminant scrubber comprising:
- a mount-facing side wall configured to be mounted along a wall of a building;
- a sorption inlet damper disposed along and through the mount-facing side wall and configured to receive return air from a conditioned space;
- a sorption outlet damper disposed along and through the mount-facing side wall and configured to output the return air toward the conditioned space;
- and
- a sorption cavity in fluid communication with the sorption inlet damper and the sorption outlet damper.
An outdoor contaminant scrubber of a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning system, the outdoor contaminant scrubber comprising:
- a sorption inlet damper configured to receive return air from a conditioned space;
- a sorption outlet damper configured to output the return air toward the conditioned space;
- a purge/regeneration inlet damper configured to receive outdoor air from an outdoor environment in which the outdoor contaminant scrubber is disposed;
- a purge/regeneration outlet damper configured to output the outdoor air to the outdoor environment, wherein the sorption inlet damper, the sorption outlet damper, the purge/regeneration inlet damper, or the purge/regeneration outlet damper comprises a rectangular flow path perimeter and a low leak economizer blade;
- and
- a sorption cavity in fluid communication with the sorption inlet damper, the sorption outlet damper, the purge/regeneration inlet damper, and the purge/regeneration outlet damper.
