Machine room hvac enclosure

Abstract

A cabinet device for ventilation equipment includes a self-contained modular unit adapted for mounting in a cutout on a wall or door of a machine room enclosure, typically small, standalone confined structures used for telecommunications and related equipment, often in conjunction with a site structure such as a cell tower or antenna. Weather resistance is provided by a series of baffles, gasketing and directed intake and output conduits, specifically intended to prevent water infiltration. Fans direct airflow through the intake and output conduits for maintaining temperature inside the enclosure through a controlled exchange of ambient air, often in conjunction with native HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) equipment when the outside temperature limits the effectiveness of ambient air exchanges. An inwardly hinged panel supports the fans and allows access for air filter access and maintenance, without removal or breach of the weathertight engagement with the enclosure exterior.
