COMPUTER ROOM AIR CONDITIONING UNIT

摘要

An enclosed air conditioning unit includes a filter section and a cooling section through which intake air passes before being discharged into a space within a building. The orientation of the filter section and cooling section is substantially vertical, and the airflow path through the filter section and the cooling section is substantially horizontal, resulting in reduced face velocities across these components, thereby increasing filtration efficiency and cooling effectiveness, while allowing the physical size and configuration of the air conditioning unit's enclosure to be the same as or smaller than the enclosures for conventional air conditioning units having comparable or lower performance.

主权项

1. An air conditioning unit comprising:
(a) an enclosure having a first wall, a second wall opposite the first wall, and a primary air intake in an upper region of the enclosure; (b) an air treatment component assembly mounted within the enclosure so as to define a first chamber between the component assembly and the enclosure's first wall and a second chamber between the component assembly and the enclosure's second wall;such that air entering the primary air intake from outside the enclosure will flow, in sequence, downward within the first chamber, horizontally through the component assembly into the second chamber, and downward within the second chamber toward a discharge outlet in a lower region of the enclosure.
