Abstract
A packaged terminal air conditioner unit includes a bulkhead and a sealed system mounted at least partially within a wall sleeve. The wall sleeve is positioned in an opening on the side of a building and defines an intake aperture and an exhaust aperture that fluidly couple the outdoor portion to the room. An intake fan assembly is mounted to the wall sleeve over the intake aperture for selectively urging a flow of make-up air into the room and an exhaust fan assembly if mounted to the wall sleeve over the exhaust aperture for selectively urging a flow of exhaust air out of the room.
