Abstract:
Air conditioner units, bulkhead assemblies, and methods for operating air conditioner units are provided. A bulkhead assembly includes a bulkhead which includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a rear wall extending laterally between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The rear wall includes an indoor facing surface and an opposing outdoor facing surface. The bulkhead assembly further includes a vent aperture defined in the rear wall, and a vent door movable between an open position and a closed position, wherein in the open position the vent door permits air flow through the vent aperture and in the closed position the vent door inhibits air flow through the vent aperture. The bulkhead assembly further includes a drive assembly connected to the vent door and operable to selectively move the vent door between the open position and the closed position.
Abstract:
Air conditioner units and bulkhead assemblies for air conditioner units are provided. A bulkhead assembly includes a bulkhead which includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall spaced apart from the first sidewall along a lateral direction, and a rear wall extending laterally between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The rear wall includes an indoor facing surface and an opposing outdoor facing surface. The bulkhead assembly further includes a vent aperture defined in the rear wall. The bulkhead assembly further includes a filter chute extending from one of the indoor facing surface or the outdoor facing surface, the filter chute defining a passage extending between a first end and a second end, the second end disposed proximate the vent aperture.
Abstract:
Air conditioner units are provided. A unit includes an outdoor heat exchanger, an indoor heat exchanger, and a compressor. The unit further includes a bulkhead disposed between the outdoor heat exchanger and the indoor heat exchanger. The unit further includes a vent aperture defined in the bulkhead. The unit further includes a dehumidification system disposed at least partially within the outdoor portion, the dehumidification system including an evaporator configured for removing heat from outdoor air flowing therethrough, a condenser configured for adding heat to outdoor air flowing therethrough, and an auxiliary compressor in fluid communication with the evaporator and the condenser. The unit further includes a temperature sensor disposed within the outdoor portion, a humidity sensor disposed within the outdoor portion, and a controller in communication with the compressor, the auxiliary compressor, the temperature sensor, and the humidity sensor, the controller configured to operate the compressor and the auxiliary compressor.

Abstract:
Air conditioner units and methods for providing make-up air are provided. An air conditioner unit includes an outdoor heat exchanger, an indoor heat exchanger and a bulkhead. The air conditioner unit further includes a vent aperture defined in a rear wall of the bulkhead. The air conditioner unit further includes a dehumidification system, the dehumidification system including an evaporator assembly configured for removing heat from outdoor air flowing therethrough and a condenser assembly configured for adding heat to outdoor air flowing therethrough. The air conditioner unit further includes a movable panel disposed proximate the vent aperture. The movable panel is movable between an open position wherein air flow through the vent aperture is permitted and a closed position wherein air flow through the vent aperture is restricted.
