A process for forming a register box has a body formed with a plurality of side panels arranged in a generally square or rectangular configuration with a wall extending transverse to the side panels. A plurality of circular areas are cut into the wall. An expandable polymeric foam material is introduced into an interior of the body. The body is positioned in a fixture such that the wall is juxtaposed against a surface of the fixture. A plug is inserted into the interior of the body. The expandable polymeric foam material is expanded in the interior of the body such that the expandable polymeric foam material solidifies across the wall and around the plug. The plug is then removed from the body and the body is then removed from the fixture.

A heating ventilating and cooling (HVAC) system includes an outdoor air chase having a first end and a second end. The second end of the outdoor air chase is fluidly coupled to a condenser compartment at a location to receive outside air from the condenser compartment and the first end is fluidly coupled to the return air compartment. The outdoor air chase has a conduit through the outdoor air chase. The system includes a configurable flow regulating plate disposed in the outdoor air chase member across the conduit or otherwise across the outdoor airflow that has a plurality of discharge apertures. Initially, the plurality of discharge apertures is covered by a plurality of knockout panels. Each panel is removably secured to the plate. In installation, the installer removes as many of the knockout panels as required for a desired flow of outdoor air. Other systems and methods are presented.

Architectures and techniques are presented that can facilitate improved design and function of certain air handler devices. Architectures directed to an improved air handler device can be designed to improve temperature control demands such as, e.g., concurrently heat and cool air and reducing device dimensions (e.g., size, weight) that can reduce costs and mitigate shipping and installation difficulties.

An apparatus for forming and sealing a duct member for use in an air handling system. At least one work station accommodates a work piece, which is generally a cylindrical tube.

A robotic system is provided for repeatedly and reproducibly applying a sealant to a seam in an assembled HVAC duct component. The applied sealant has a predetermined location on the assembled HVAC duct component to seal the seam. An assembled HVAC duct component is thus provided having a robot applied sealant on at least one seam in the assembled HVAC duct component, wherein the applied sealant has at least one of a predetermined location, thickness or coverage. The robotically applied sealant can be applied to a blank for forming the assembled HVAC duct component, wherein the sealant is located at locations forming a seam in the assembled HVAC duct component.

An air conditioning unit and method of mounting the same in an opening in a wall, particularly an opening housing a window. The unit includes a front section disposed inside the building on a first side of the opening; and a rear section disposed outside the building on a second side of the opening. A duct extends between the front and rear sections and is clampingly engaged between the sill and a bottom end of the window. The duct includes a first duct member that moves cooled air in a first direction towards the inside of the building; and a second duct member that moves return air in a second direction away from the inside of the building. The duct is changeable in length to alter the distance between the front and rear sections so as to accommodate the air conditioning unit's installation in windows in different thickness walls.

An air conduction part for conducting a compressible medium, which part has a cross section through which the medium passes in a flow direction of the medium when the air conduction part is used, which flow direction approximately corresponds to a longitudinal axis of the air conduction part, the air conduction part including at least one wall arrangement that laterally defines the cross section of the air conduction part and conducts the medium. The wall arrangement are provided with at least one shell and with at least one damping device that removes sound energy from the medium, and the shell and the damping device are integrally interconnected so that, with a justifiable amount of outlay, the resulting air conduction parts effectively damp sound and the transport direction of the medium and/or the cross section of the air conduction part may change.

A duct in which the welding strength of the parting lines is enhanced and which facilitates the attaching job is provided. The duct of the present embodying mode has a mean thickness of the entire duct of 1 mm or less, and includes projections on inner surface sides of the duct on the parting lines.

An air intake and exhaust assembly includes a first air pipe and a second air pipe. A first air duct is formed in the first air pipe and configured to be communicated with one of an air outlet of an air exhaust volute of an packaged air conditioner and an air inlet of the packaged air conditioner. The second air pipe is arranged adjacent to the first air pipe. A second air duct is formed between an inner wall of the second air pipe and an outer wall of the first air pipe. The second air duct is configured to be communicated with another one of the air outlet of the air exhaust volute and the air inlet of the packaged air conditioner. At least part of the outer wall of the first air pipe along a length direction of the first air pipe is fixedly connected to the second air pipe.

A flexible ventilation duct production method includes forming an inner layer using at least one of aluminum PET, polyester, metalized OPP, metalized polyester and PVC; forming an insulation layer comprised of rubber, polyethylene liners, polyester fibers or similar insulation materials; assembling a steel wire taking shape from being spirally wound around a cylinder; forming an outer layer using at least one of aluminum PET, polyester, metalized OPP, metalized polyester and PVC; and laminating by being wound to a constantly rotating cylindrical shaft in a certain order to form an integrated, holistic structure between all the factors, which is constantly rotated around its own axis in strip plates and is constantly fed to the mentioned cylindrical shaft, by meanwhile providing complete lamination with the applied chemicals.
