Damper for HVAC system

A damper assembly includes a frame having an inner surface and a protrusion extending inwardly relative to the inner surface, a damper blade coupled to the frame and configured to transition between an open position and a closed position, and a latch coupled to the inner surface of the frame. The latch is configured to deform to facilitate transition of the damper blade between the open position and the closed position and to expand to capture and retain the damper blade in the closed position, the latch includes a tab segment configured to move toward the protrusion during deformation of the latch and to move away from the protrusion during expansion of the latch, and a distal end of the tab segment overlaps with a thickness of the protrusion.

Indoor unit of an air conditioner with a movable fan housing assembly

An air conditioner may provide a a fan housing assembly that moves in the front-rear direction by the operation of an actuator, and the fan housing assembly moves so as to pass through a front outlet arranged on a door assembly to be in a projected state, and the front end of the fan housing assembly protrudes further to the front than the front surface of the door assembly; and through the projected state, may provide conditioned air by a direct air flow to a long-distance target region. The configuration may enable the minimization of interference between the discharged air and the door assembly, and the minimization of flow loss of the discharged air since, when the fan housing assembly is in the projected state, a steering grill is in a state of protruding to the outside of the door assembly by passing through the front outlet.

SPRING LOADED HVAC DAMPER

An illustrative damper system includes a damper blade that is configured to be positioned within a duct, such as a bypass duct of an HVAC system. A shaft is in communication with the damper blade, a torsion spring is in communication with the shaft, and a force adjustment mechanism is in communication with the torsion spring. The shaft, the damper blade, and the torsion spring may be configured such that the shaft may affect movement of the damper blade about a rotation axis and the torsion spring may provide a bias force to the shaft for biasing the damper blade toward a desired position (e.g. closed position).

Air flow director
10309684 · 2019-06-04 ·

The air flow director is configured for use with a grille associated with an HVAC system. The air flow director attaches directly to the grille. The air flow director changes the direction of the air flow through the grille in a traverse direction and a lateral direction. The traverse angle of the deflection of the air flow is adjustable. The lateral angle of the deflection of the air flow is adjustable. The air flow director can be rotated around both a lateral axis of rotation and a traverse axis of rotation without being disconnected from the grille. The air flow director comprises a first triangular panel, a second triangular panel, a deflection panel, and a fastener. The first triangular panel, and the second triangular panel are attached to the deflection panel. The fastener attaches the deflection panel to the grille.

Dual pressure damper

A dual pressure damper used as an air intake damper in an air intake duct, The intake duct is used for introducing intake air into a room. The dual pressure damper helps maintain a negative air pressure N in the room. In particular, the room is used for plant oil extraction. The intake air vents toxic gases from the room and out an exhaust duct. The dual pressure damper includes a low pressure damper blade and a high pressure damper blade. A torsion coil spring includes a long torque arm attached to the low pressure damper blade and a short torque arm attached to the high pressure damper blade. The torque arms are used to open and close the damper blades at different incoming air pressures.
