Abstract: A damper box includes a curved wall, an outlet, a side wall, and filter and a damper. The curved wall has an outside surface, an inside surface, and a separator sandwiched between an outside air inlet and a recirculated air inlet. The side wall is disposed between the recirculated air inlet and the outlet. The filter has a curvature matching the curved wall and covering the outside surface of the curved wall. The damper has an axis of rotation adjacent to and in alignment with the separator. The damper has a first face and a trailing edge. The first face is curved and configured to mate with a curved frame disposed about the outside air inlet. The trailing edge is configured to mate with the side wall. A ratio of outside air to recirculated air is modulated in response to the damper being rotated.

Abstract: A filter cartridge assembly includes a fitting with a lid and a throat. The lid includes a handle and spring. The handle is configured to receive torque and linear force and translate these forces to the lid. The spring has a first and second catch disposed opposite ends. The spring is configured to mate with and fully reside within a lid groove in response to the first catch being drawn towards the second catch. The spring is configured to partially extend annularly outwardly from the lid groove in response to the first catch and the second catch being allowed to return to a biased position. The throat receives the lid and a throat groove disposed about the throat is configured to receive the extended portion of the spring partially extending from the lid groove. The lid is captured in response to the spring mating with the throat groove.
