Abstract
An air handler system comprising a cabinet housing a blower unit and a heat exchange unit. The blower unit and the heat exchange unit are located in a substantially same lateral dimension in the cabinet. The blower unit and the heat exchange unit are separated by a distance that provides for a substantially uniform flow of air through a vertically-orientated plane of the heat exchange unit when the blower unit is in operation.
Claims20
An air handler system, comprising:
- a cabinet housing a blower unit and a heat exchange unit, wherein
- the blower unit and the heat exchange unit are located in a substantially same lateral dimension in the cabinet,
- the blower unit and the heat exchange unit are oriented in the cabinet such that air enters the cabinet along an air-intake pathway direction, through the heat exchange unit and into the blower unit, and, exits the blower unit and the cabinet in an air-output pathway direction, wherein the air-output pathway direction is perpendicular to the air-intake pathway direction, and
- a surface of the blower unit having an air-intake, through which the air enters the blower and travels along the air intake pathway direction, is separated from an opposing surface of the heat exchanger unit having an air-exit through which the air exits along the air intake pathway direction.
