Diffuser assembly for an hvac system

A diffuser assembly for a heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:

• an outer frame comprising a first inlet configured to receive an air flow;
• an inner frame disposed within the outer frame and comprising a second inlet configured to receive the air flow from the first inlet, wherein the inner frame and outer frame form a first outlet of the diffuser assembly therebetween, and the inner frame defines a second outlet of the diffuser assembly;
• and
• a damper assembly coupled to the outer frame, the inner frame, or both, wherein the damper assembly comprises a radial damper and a perimetrical sleeve spaced apart from the radial damper, and the damper assembly is configured to transition between a first configuration to direct the air flow through a first flow path of the diffuser assembly extending from the first inlet to the first outlet and to block the air flow through a second flow path of the diffuser assembly extending from the first inlet, through the second inlet, and to the second outlet, and a second configuration to direct the air flow through the second flow path and to block the air flow through the first flow path.

A heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:

• a diffuser assembly, comprising:
• an outer frame comprising an inlet configured to receive an air flow from ductwork;
• an inner frame disposed within the outer frame to form a first flow path for the air flow through the diffuser assembly between the outer frame and the inner frame, wherein the inner frame defines a second flow path, separate from the first flow path, for the air flow through the diffuser assembly;
• a damper assembly coupled to the inner frame, wherein the damper assembly comprises a radial damper coupled to a perimetrical sleeve, and the damper assembly is configured to transition between a first configuration to enable discharge of the air flow from the diffuser assembly via the first flow path and a second configuration to enable discharge of the air flow from the diffuser assembly via the second flow path;
• and
• an actuator configured to cause translation of the perimetrical sleeve along an axis and cause rotation of the radial damper about the axis to transition the damper assembly between the first configuration and the second configuration;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to the actuator and configured to instruct the actuator to transition the damper assembly between the first configuration and the second configuration based on an input received via the controller.
