A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) unit includes an air flow amplifier coupled to a fan deck of the HVAC unit. The air flow amplifier includes a ring having an annular cavity and an air flow inlet formed in the ring. The air flow inlet is configured to direct an air flow into the annular cavity. The air flow amplifier also includes a first annular air flow outlet formed in the ring and configured to direct a first portion of the air flow out of the annular cavity and along an inner diameter of the ring. The air flow amplifier further includes a second annular air flow outlet formed in the ring and configured to direct a second portion of the air flow out of the annular cavity and along the inner diameter of the ring.

An air conditioner, including an outdoor unit and a control system, an air outlet being provided at the top of a box body of the outdoor unit. The air conditioner further includes a snow hood in communication with the air outlet, a rotation driving device connected to the snow hood, and a wind direction detection device provided on the box body. The snow hood is rotatably provided on the top of the box body, and the rotation driving device and the wind direction detection device both communicate with the control system.

A cover assembly for a condenser unit mounted to a stand includes a base connectable to the stand, a column extending upwardly from the base, the column having a lower portion and an opposite upper portion, the lower portion being connectable to the base, a cover connectable to the upper portion of the column, the cover extending above the condenser unit and being shaped and dimensioned for spanning at least partially over the condenser unit, and a leg projecting from the cover for abutting a wall of the condenser unit, the leg being spaced from the column. A method for installing a cover assembly on a condenser unit mounted to a stand is also described.

A connector to fit in a window gap, the connector having a generally elongated shape and having two parts being slidable in relation to each other. The connector includes an air-inlet adapted to receive air from an air conditioner and an air outlet. The two parts include a body and a telescopic part and the connector is adapted to be manipulated to be in: a first state where the body and the telescopic part can be moved in relation to each other in a length direction of the connector, or a second state where the body and the telescopic part are locked in relation to each other in a length direction of the connector by a locking mechanism.
