A device for a ventilation system. An air-conditioning unit comprising a rear wall is arranged such that it is oriented, with the rear wall thereof, towards the module or space to be ventilated such that it is to be reached from said module or space. An interface for air output is arranged on the rear wall, said interface being divided into a plurality of air output points. Said air output points are arranged in different positions on the rear wall. Since all of the air output points do not need to be used, a controller for controlling the air output, which can prevent or enable the air output at the air output points, are associated with the air output points.

The present disclosure relates to an humidification attachment module (66) arranged to be coupled with an air treatment apparatus (10), the module comprising a fluid dispensing unit (88) for a humidification fluid that is supplied by a fluid reservoir (86), a flow inlet (74) for an inlet air flow (120), a first flow path defined between the flow inlet (74) and a first flow outlet (76), a second flow path defined between the flow inlet (74) and a second flow outlet (78), and a flow dividing unit (100), wherein the first flow path bypasses the fluid dispensing unit (88), wherein the second flow path passes through the fluid dispensing unit (88), and wherein the flow dividing unit (100) is operable to divide an overall flow through the humidification module into a first flow path component (122) and a second flow path component (124). The present disclosure further relates to air treatment apparatus (10) and to a method of augmenting an air treatment apparatus (10).

A self-insulating air delivery system maintains a desired air temperature of the conditioned air supplied thereinto for delivery to an aircraft. The system uses insulating airflow layers; a parallel layer and a counterflow layer. A starting section connects to a PCA unit and delivers conditioned air therefrom to an interior supply hose. The starting section also either creates bleed conditioned air or accepts conditioned insulating air and supplies it to an interior insulating hose that is annularly outward of the supply hose and in which air flows parallel to airflow in the supply hose. A reversing connector indirectly connects the supply hose to the aircraft and reverses the flow of air from the interior insulating hose to flow back toward the PCA unit in an exterior counterflow hose that is annularly outward of the interior insulating hose.

Aspects of the present disclosure include a primary air chamber configured to receive primary air, an induced air chamber configured to receive secondary air, a heating coil disposed in the induced air chamber, wherein the heating coil is removable from the induced air chamber without disassembling at least a portion of the induced air chamber, and the heating coil does not receive the primary air, a fan disposed in the induced air chamber, wherein the fan is configured to blow the secondary air received via the induced air chamber toward the heating coil and the heating coil heats the secondary air.

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.

A zone-control unit for use in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the zone-control unit includes a heat exchanger, an inlet piping assembly coupled with the heat exchanger for supplying fluid to the heat exchanger, an outlet piping assembly coupled with the heat exchanger for receiving fluid from the heat exchanger, a bracket that maintains the inlet piping assembly and the outlet piping assembly in positional relationship, and an ancillary component coupled with the heat exchanger.

An insulated HVAC duct component such as a transition box includes a first insulation layer and a second, different insulation layer. The transition box includes at least four sidewalls and one of a top and a back wall, the transition box further including a first access port and a second access port, the first access port having a different cross section than the second access port, one of the access ports being spaced from a nearest sidewall by less than 2 inches. The first insulation layer is located along an inside surface of the box. The second different insulation layer overlies the first insulation layer, the second different insulation layer having an air impervious surface, wherein the combined thickness of the first insulation layer and the second different insulation layer is less than 2 inches.
