A noise muffler for an air moving device can include a housing with a housing inlet, a housing outlet, and at least a first foam component and a second foam component. The first foam component and the second foam component are placed within a cavity of the housing and define an air passageway. The first foam component and the second foam component redirect air flow through the cavity in three dimensions in order to muffle noise generated by the air moving device.

A sound attenuating baffle device has a baffle casing supported within a duct such that a boundary wall of the baffle device is oriented in the flow direction from the leading end to the trailing end of the baffle casing. The baffle casing includes a sound attenuating structure therein, and a trailing member protruding outwardly beyond the trailing end of the baffle casing towards a free trailing edge of the trailing member which is non-linear in profile. As compared to a continuous, straight trailing edge as found on most silencer outlets, a non-linear profile, for example a V-shaped or saw-toothed edge, improves the flow distribution along the height of the baffle or perimeter of the centerbody. The distribution of airflow across the resulting extended tail edge represents an improvement in the flow recovery.

Provided is a soundproof structure body including an opening member that forms an opening tube line having a cross-sectional area S, and at least two resonance structures for sound waves that are installed inside the opening tube line, and in a case where a cross-sectional area of the resonance structure is defined as Si, a width thereof is defined as di, an interval between the two resonance structures is defined as L, an impedance of the two resonance structures is defined as Zi, and a synthetic acoustic impedance is defined as Zc, a condition of Expression (1) is satisfied at a resonance frequency f0 at which a theoretical absorption value At is a maximum value. This soundproof structure body can realize high absorption using a plurality of resonance structures.

A soundproof fume discharge conduit adapted to be arranged between a ventilation system and an outlet chimney, the conduit defining a fume path therein, wherein at least one side surface of the conduit is provided with at least two protrusions, each protrusion internally defining a respective step-shaped recess, whereby the path is provided with at least two step-shaped recesses adapted to reflect sound waves propagating along the path, and wherein the step shape of each recess is defined by two first walls, which are incident at a first end thereof, and at least one wall of the two first walls is coated with a first sound absorbing material.

A temperature control (“TC”) unit and associated method for providing simultaneous independent temperature control of conditioned air to first and second rooms. The TC unit includes a cabinet. The cabinet may be divided into first and second compartments, the first compartment being adapted to receive and exhaust air from and to, respectively, the first room, and the second compartment being adapted to receive and exhaust air from and to, respectively, the second room. Sound dampening insulation may be positioned between the first and second compartments. First and second evaporators may be positioned within the cabinet so that: air from the first room passes through the first evaporator before exhausting back to the first room; and air from the second room passes through the second evaporator before exhausting back to the second room. The TC unit may be or include a vertical terminal air conditioning (“VTAC”) unit.

The present disclosure relates to a silencer module for a silencer bank of an air handling unit. The silencer module includes a support shell having a first inner wall and a second inner wall opposite the first inner wall. The silencer module also includes a first baffle coupled to the first inner wall, where the first baffle includes a first perforated baffle sheet, and a second baffle coupled to the second inner wall, where the second baffle includes a second perforated baffle sheet. The silencer module further includes an air flow gap that extends between the first perforated baffle sheet and the second perforated baffle sheet, where the air flow gap has a width that is substantially constant along a dimension of the first perforated baffle sheet and the second perforated baffle sheet that extends generally parallel to a direction of air flow through the air flow gap.

A ventilation assembly and methods of forming the same includes a ventilation grille having reducing acoustic bodies configured to attenuate sound of the ventilation assembly. Arrangement of the acoustic bodies can form phononic crystal to attenuate sound and can be tuned to desired sound bands to reduce sounds.

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.

A diffuser which reduces noise generated due to a flow of cool air when the cool air is discharged from a supply duct configured to supply cool air generated from a body provided at outdoors to the indoors, and an air conditioner having the same are provided. The diffuser includes a coupling part coupled to the supply duct, an extension part extending from the coupling part while having a taper shape such that cool air supplied through the supply duct is guided to the indoors, a mesh provided to surround an outer side of the extension part, and a housing accommodating the coupling part and the extension part, and having an opening configured to discharge the cool air supplied to the extension part to the indoors.

Embodiments of the present technology are directed to air treatment reactor modules, and associated systems and devices. An exemplary reactor module can include a housing, an ultraviolet (UV) light source disposed within the housing, and a plurality of hollow elongate conduits disposed within the housing and peripheral to the UV light source. The UV light source and individual conduits can extend in a lateral direction perpendicular to the direction of air flow through the reactor module. The conduits can include a plurality of holes and be at least partially coated with a photocatalytic material. The housing can have an inner surface comprising a reflective material that, in operation, reflects UV light emitted from the UV light source.
