Abstract
A base system for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a frame configured to support a housing of the HVAC system, where the frame includes a base rail configured to define a portion of a perimeter of the frame. The base rail includes a base segment configured to be disposed on a curb in an installed configuration of the HVAC system, an external wall extending from the base segment, a top segment extending from the external wall, an internal wall extending from the top segment, and a recessed flange extending from the internal wall and away from the external wall.
Claims20
A base system for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
- a frame configured to support a housing of the HVAC system, wherein the frame comprises a base rail configured to define a portion of a perimeter of the frame,
- wherein the base rail comprises a base segment having a base rail face configured to abut a curb in an installed configuration of the HVAC system, an external wall extending transversely from the base segment, a top segment extending transversely from the external wall and over the base segment, an internal wall extending transversely from the top segment toward the base segment, and a recessed flange extending from the internal wall and away from the external wall.
An enclosure for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
- a frame comprising a plurality of base rails defining a perimeter of the enclosure, wherein a base rail of the plurality of base rails comprises a base segment configured to be disposed on a curb in an installed configuration of the enclosure, an external wall extending from the base segment, a top segment extending from the external wall and toward an interior of the enclosure, an internal wall extending from the top segment toward the base segment, and a recessed flange extending from the internal wall toward the interior of the enclosure;
- and
- a floor panel captured between the plurality of base rails, wherein the floor panel is disposed on and secured to the recessed flange of the base rail.
A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system housing, comprising:
- a plurality of base rails coupled to one another to define a base frame of the HVAC system housing, wherein a base rail of the plurality of base rails comprises:
- a base segment configured to be disposed on a curb in an installed configuration of the HVAC system housing;
- an external wall extending vertically from the base segment;
- a top segment extending horizontally from the external wall and over the base segment;
- an internal wall extending vertically from the top segment toward the base segment, and
- a recessed flange extending horizontally from the internal wall and away from the external wall.
