    摘要: The present invention provides a foldably packed temperature adjustment fan, which comprises a water tank assembly, having a water storage cavity; and a shell assembly, mounted on a top of the water tank assembly, wherein the shell assembly comprises a plurality of side plate assemblies for surrounding and forming an airflow cavity and a top plate assembly, at least a part of the side plate assemblies are respectively utilized as a whole body and are detachably mounted on an edge of the top of the water tank assembly, and at least a part of the side plate assemblies can be completely accommodated in the water storage cavity after being detached. The present invention further provides a folding method of the foldably packed temperature adjustment fan. When the temperature adjustment fan of the present invention is used, its appearance is the same as that of a normal unit; during packing, a rear plate assembly, a left side plate assembly and a right side plate assembly can be completely accommodated in the water tank assembly, a front panel assembly does not need to be detached, and as long as the front panel assembly is turned over, fast folding is completed; and the package size is small, associated components are less, and logistics transportation is convenient.

    摘要: An airflow sterilizing unit configured to airflow in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is disclosed. The airflow sterilizing unit includes a portion of a duct at least partially lined with an ultraviolet (UV) reflective material, a plurality of hollow structures positioned within the portion of the duct, each comprising an external UV reflective surface, and at least one array of UV light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted on a surface of at least one of the plurality of hollow structures. The sterilizing unit is configured to replace a section of an existing duct in the HVAC system such that air within the HVAC system passes through the sterilizing unit before exiting from one or more vent.

    摘要: An HVAC actuator configured to actuate an HVAC component may include a rotatable output shaft having a range of rotation between a first end position and a second end position, a drive mechanism configured to selectively drive the output shaft, and a housing for housing the drive mechanism. The HVAC actuator may include a position indicator viewable from a front side of the housing that moves as the output shaft is rotated such that the position indicator indicates a current position of the output shaft. The position indicator may include an indicator wheel that is directly coupled to the output shaft of the HVAC actuator and may rotate with the output shaft. The indicator wheel may have one or more markings that move with the indicator wheel. The one or more markings may include a line extending in a radial direction from a rotation axis of the indicator wheel.

    摘要: An energy recovery ventilator for a heating or cooling system includes a housing and a heat exchanger located in the housing for recovery of thermal energy from a stale airflow of the heating or cooling system. An exhaust fan positioned in the housing is in flow communication with the heat exchanger to urge the stale airflow from a return port disposed in a first side panel of the housing, across the heat exchanger and toward an exhaust port of the energy recovery ventilator. The exhaust fan and the heat exchanger are configured such that the heat exchanger is removable from the housing via a front panel opening in the housing without disturbing a position of the exhaust fan.

    摘要: A monitoring system for a heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system of a residential or commercial building includes an evaporator unit device and four temperature sensors. The evaporator unit device includes an electrical sensor that measures current supplied to a circulator blower of the HVAC system. The measured current from the first electrical sensor is used to diagnose a problem with the circulator blower. The first temperature sensor that measures a temperature of refrigerant flowing between a condenser of the HVAC system and an expansion valve of the HVAC system. The second temperature sensor measures a temperature of refrigerant flowing between an evaporator and a compressor. The third temperature sensor measures a temperature of air flowing away from the evaporator. The fourth temperature sensor measures a temperature of air flowing toward the evaporator. The evaporator unit device transmits sensor data to a remote monitoring service over a data network.
