Orientation-based HVAC control
Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a control system for controlling an HVAC device where the control system includes a temperature sensor that provides a signal indicative of a temperature associated with the HVAC device, an orientation sensor that provides a signal indicative of an operating orientation of the HVAC device, and control circuitry that receives the temperature signal and the orientation signal from the orientation sensor. The control circuitry selects an operating thermal control set point from a plurality of stored thermal control set points based at least in part on an orientation signal, determines a temperature sensor input based on the temperature signal and compares the temperature sensor input to the operating thermal control set point, and operates the HVAC device based at least in part on that comparison.
FAN FILTER UNIT WITH INTEGRATED HEATER
A fan filter unit with an integrated heater system includes a housing comprising an air intake and an air outlet; a blower motor mounted within the housing and downstream of the air intake; a heater mounted within the housing and downstream of the blower motor; and an air filter mounted within the housing. In some cases, the system further includes an inner housing mounted to a top of an inside portion of the housing, the inner housing having an inner housing air outlet, where both the blower motor is mounted within the inner housing and the heater is mounted within the inner housing. In some of such cases, the air intake and the air outlet are positioned to direct an air flow vertically and the inner housing air outlet is positioned to direct an air flow horizontally.
Air-conditioning unit
An air-conditioning unit that is able to suppress ignition at an electric heater even when leakage of refrigerant occurs while a low-GWP refrigerant is used is provided.

SMART VENT SYSTEM FOR LOCALIZED AIR QUALITY CONTROL
An environmental control system for a building, the system including a vent. The vent includes one or more louvers configured to change position between an open position and a closed position to permit air from the air duct to enter a zone of the building or stop the air from entering the zone and a vent circuit configured to operate the one or more louvers based on one or more control commands. The system includes a controller device including a processing circuit configured to receive a selection of an operating profile from a plurality of predefined operating profiles for the vent, each of the plurality of predefined operating profiles indicating an intended use of the zone, determine, based on the operating profile, the one or more control commands, and cause the vent circuit to operate the one or more louvers based on the one or more control commands.
ELECTRO-IONIC DEVICES FOR IMPROVED PROTECTION FROM AIRBORNE BIOPATHOGENS
An electro-ionic device configured for being worn on the face of a person is disclosed. The electro-ionic device includes at least two electrical conductors spaced apart from each other defining at least a portion of a respiratory pathway therebetween and a circuit configured to apply a first voltage between the two conductors during inspiration and a second voltage greater than the first voltage during expiration.
Heater assembly of a heating unit
A heater assembly for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system has a heater and a controller enclosure. The heater has a plurality of heating elements in a frame that has two opposing ends. The controller enclosure has two end walls and a plurality of side walls in a non-rectangular polygonal configuration. One of the two opposing ends of the frame is coupled to one of the two end walls such that an orientation of the heating elements may be changed based on respective locations of the plurality of side walls of the controller enclosure.
