EXPANDABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL UNIT
An environmental control unit for providing heated or cooled air to an enclosed environment, such as a building structure or temporary shelter. Air passes through the environmental control unit and the air is heated or cooled by a temperature control system of the environmental control unit. The heated or cooled air is provided to the enclosed environment.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ELECTRONICALLY LOCKING HVAC DOORS
Systems and methods are disclosed that operate a door latch of a door of a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system electronically based on operating a locking engagement device. The locking engagement device may be disposed on an outer portion of a door, the latch may be part of a latching system disposed on an inner portion of the door, and the locking engagement device may transmit a signal indicating that the locking engagement device is in an open or closed position to the latching system via a conductor electronically coupling the locking engagement device and the latching system. In some embodiments, the locking engagement device may transmit a signal indicating that the locking engagement device is in an open or closed position to a controller, which may then instruct the latching system to open or close the latch based on receiving the signal.
INTEGRATED HEAT PUMP SYSTEM
An integrated heat pump energy recovery ventilator system is provided for installing in a chase of a wall, the integrated heat pump energy recovery ventilator system comprising an air intake duct; an air outlet duct; a pump in fluid communication with the air intake duct; and in order: a heat pump compressor plate; an outer insulation panel; an outer energy recovery ventilator core; a heat pump evaporator plate and an inner energy recovery ventilator core, wherein the heat pump condenser plate, the outer heat pump energy recovery ventilator core, the evaporator plate and the inner heat pump energy recovery ventilator core all include at least a first series of channels and a second series of channels, the second series of channels disposed normal to the first series of channels, each series of channels.
DEHUMIDIFIER WITH PUMP PICK-UP
A dehumidifier system is provided. The dehumidifier system may include a condensate tank and a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier may be positionable between at least one deployed position and at least one stowed position relative to the condensate tank. The condensate tank and the dehumidifier may telescope relative to each other. The dehumidifier system, or portions thereof, may include one or more stacking structures. The dehumidifier system, or portions thereof, may include a pump pick-up.

COMBINED AIR CONDITIONING AND WATER HEATING VIA EXPANSION VALVE REGULATION
A combination water heating, air conditioning refrigerant system is described. The combined system includes a plurality of independently adjustable electronic expansion valves. The expansion valves can independently modulate the delivery of high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant to either a water heat exchanger or an outside condenser. A controller can receive input signals, including temperature signals from one or more temperature sensors that indicate the temperature at various locations of the system. The temperature signals include one or more of water temperature signals, ambient air temperature signals, or refrigerant super heat temperatures signals. In response to the input signals, the controller can output control signals to one or more of the plurality of electronic expansion valves.

DAMPER FOR A COMPRESSOR OF AN AIR CONDITIONING APPLIANCE
An air conditioner unit includes a cabinet including a base pan that defines at least one alignment feature and a compressor mounted to the base pan using mechanical fasteners that pass through mounting feet and into mounting bosses defined on the base pan. A damper is positioned between the compressor and the base pan and includes a lower pad seated on the base pan, an upper pad extending from the lower pad along the vertical direction and contacting a bottom surface of the compressor, and at least one stopping feature defined on the lower pad or the upper pad, the at least one stopping feature engaging the at least one alignment feature to prevent rotation of the damper.
MAKEUP AIR CROSS-FLOW ENERGY RECOVERY SYSTEM ATOP AIR CONDITIONER
An air conditioner unit includes a housing defining an outdoor portion and an indoor portion. A makeup air intake duct and a makeup air exhaust duct are disposed above the housing. The air conditioner unit also includes an air to air heat exchanger. The air to air heat exchanger includes a first inlet side attached to the makeup air intake duct, a second inlet side, a first outlet side, and a second outlet side attached to the makeup air exhaust duct. The air to air heat exchanger also includes one or more alternating top layers and bottom layers. The one or more top layers are in fluid communication with the first inlet side and the first outlet side, and the one or more bottom layers are in fluid communication with the second inlet side and the second outlet side.
