An air duct device and an air handling apparatus are provided. The air duct device can include a housing, a first air duct, and a second air duct. The first air duct is arranged in the housing and has an air input end and an air output end. The second air duct is arranged in the housing and has an air input end and an air output end. The air input end of the second air duct passes by the air output end of the first air duct.

A fresh air distribution system designed for PTAC use, the system comprising a first upwardly directed air distribution duct configured to receive a stream of pressurized fresh air discharged from a fresh air blower apparatus and to redirect the stream into a transversely extending second air distribution duct communicating with the first air distribution duct, the second air distribution duct comprising a plurality of laterally spaced baffles angularly disposed inside the duct that divide and redirect the stream into an inside plenum of the PTAC to be combined with recirculated in-room air.

A duct panel, a method of manufacturing a duct panel, a duct section and a method of installing a duct are disclosed. The duct panel includes a laminate structure having an insulation layer disposed between a first support layer and a second support layer, the laminate structure having an end width; and an end cap attached to the end width and configured to be coupled to a mounting flange, wherein the mounting flange is configured to mount the duct panel. The end cap and the mounting flange comprise different materials.

An air-conditioning duct structure of an aircraft includes an air-conditioning duct that is provided on each of a starboard side and a port side and guides conditioned air to a vicinity of a ceiling of a cabin in the aircraft. The air-conditioning duct includes a blowout portion and a blowout upstream portion. The blowout portion blows out the conditioned air to the cabin from an outboard side of the ceiling to an inboard side of the ceiling and toward a lower part than the ceiling, and the blowout upstream portion communicates with an upstream side of the blowout portion. In addition, the blowout portion or the blowout upstream portion is curved to cause a terminal end side of the blowout portion to be inclined downward with respect to a horizontal direction.

An air conditioner includes a heat exchanger, a fan and a fan case in which the fan is accommodated. The fan case includes an inlet opening through which air sucked by the fan enters the fan and an outlet opening through which the air that entered the fan is blown by the fan to be discharged from the fan case. An air guide is spaced from a lower end portion of the outlet opening to form a gap through which the air flows to guide the air to a down direction. The air guide includes an inclined portion inclined downward toward an outer side in a lateral direction to guide air to the lateral direction.

Flex duct systems have a flex duct having a wire-reinforced core and first and second hollow connector ends threaded to one each of ends of the wire-reinforced core. Each connector end has a plurality of locking tabs. A boot, a saddle trunk, or a linking connector each have a plurality of sleeves each protruding radially outward and positioned to releasably, attachably receive one of the plurality of locking tabs for a fluid tight connection therewith.

Example air duct assemblies include a pliable air duct supported such that the duct is maintained in a generally expanded shape even when the duct is deflated. In some examples, a series of hangers suspend the duct from one or more cables, tracks or other type of overhead support. The hangers are spaced apart and distributed over the length of the duct, and each one contributes in pulling the duct taut in the duct's longitudinal direction.

A latch assembly for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) enclosure includes a latch having a securement portion configured to couple to an access panel of the enclosure and having a rotational portion. The rotational portion has an engagement feature configured to engage with a tool face or a tool receptacle and the rotational portion has a first retainer adjacent to the engagement feature. The rotational portion is configured to rotate relative to the securement portion such that a locking portion of the rotational portion transitions between a closed configuration and an open configuration. The latch assembly includes a handle accessory having a handle engagement driver configured to engage with the engagement feature of the rotational portion along a first linking axis and having a second retainer configured to couple with the first retainer of the rotational portion along a second linking axis, transverse to the first linking axis.
