DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The following includes definitions of selected terms employed herein. The definitions include various examples and/or forms of components that fall within the scope of a term and that may be used for implementation. The examples are not intended to be limiting. Further, it will be obvious to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as to not unnecessarily obscure aspects of the present invention. For purposes of the disclosure, directional terms are expressed generally with relation to a standard frame of reference when an AHU is installed and in an in-use orientation.
The present disclosure is related to an improved cover system for an Air Handling Unit (“AHU”). Known AHU enclosures may not be sufficiently insulated and/or sufficiently weather tight. Thus, the current disclosure seeks to solve one or more of the aforementioned deficiencies of the present technology by providing an AHU cover system usable with an AHU or an AHU enclosure that provides improved insulation qualities and/or improved weather sealing while decreasing the possibility of inconsistencies during the manufacturing of the AHU cover system and/or during installation of the AHU cover system on site. Specifically, due at least partially to the unique environment within an AHU, water and other environmental ingress through the enclosure may be exacerbated due to negative and/or positive pressure within the enclosure. For example, negative pressure within the AHU enclosure may cause water and other environmental contaminants to be drawn in through the various seams and fasteners in the AHU enclosure, and especially on the roof or cover of the enclosure. Further, positive pressure and/or an alternation between positive and negative pressure within the AHU enclosure can cause any seals or sealing material around seems or fasteners to break down over time, thus causing an increase in environmental ingress as a AHU or AHU enclosure ages.
In addition, inconsistent assembly of an AHU in an assembly facility and/or on site may result in inadequate sealing of an AHU from the elements. Thus, the current disclosure attempts to remedy the one or more of aforementioned deficiencies by providing an improved AHU cover that includes a composite structure that is free from possible ingress points that could potentially cause leakage. Further the disclosed AHU cover provides improved insulation qualities, resistance to adverse effects of the negative and/or positive pressures within the AHU enclosure. The current disclosure also provides techniques and structures that lead to a decrease in the possibility of inconsistencies during the manufacturing of the AHU cover system and/or during installation of the AHU cover system on site, thereby reducing leakages.
With reference to FIG. 1, an AHU 80 (hidden from view in FIG. 1) within an AHU enclosure 90 is shown. It is noted that the AHU 80 and AHU enclosure 90 in FIG. 1 merely serves as an example for illustrative purposes; the current disclosure is applicable to any type of AHU and/or an AHU enclosure of any shape or size. The AHU enclosure 90 may include a frame comprised of a plurality of generally horizontal and vertical rails configured to form and support a box-like structure of the AHU enclosure 90. For example, the frame of the AHU enclosure 90 may include generally vertical frame rails, examples of which are shown by reference numbers 116, 124, and 125 sized to define at least a portion of a height of the AHU enclosure 90. The frame of the AHU enclosure 90 may further comprise a series of generally horizontal bottom frame rails, examples which are shown by reference numbers 118 and 122 sized to define a horizontal area of at least a portion of the AHU enclosure 90. The generally vertical frame rails 116, 123, and 124 may be connected to the generally horizontal bottom frame rails 118 and 122 via known fasteners such as screws, bolts, or rivets for example. The generally vertical frame rails 116, 123, and 124 may also be welded, brazed, and/or adhered to the generally horizontal bottom frame rails 118 and 122, for example. It should be noted that only a subset of the generally vertical frame rails and the generally horizontal bottom frame rails are visible in FIG. 1, but that the AHU enclosure 90 may be configured with a sufficient number of frame rails to form a generally open box-shaped structure for containing the AHU 80.
Additionally, the frame of the AHU enclosure 90 may be configured with a series of infill panels 230, 231, and 232 to enclose the sides and form walls. For example, infill panels 230, 231, and 232 may be formed of sheet metal, a plastic, or a composite material. It should be noted that only a subset of the infill panels are visible in FIG. 1, but that the AHU enclosure 90 may be configured with a sufficient number of infill panels to vertically enclose the generally open box-shaped structure of the AHU enclosure 90 for containing the AHU 80. Further, the AHU may include a bottom panel 85 (hidden from view in FIG. 1) that that may be formed of any of the aforementioned materials, for example.
Also, the frame of the AHU enclosure 90 may further include a top or cover 100 that includes a composite roof structure 95 supported at the top of the frame by a series of generally horizontal top frame rails, examples of which are shown by reference numbers 111 and 120 in FIG. 1. The generally horizontal frame rails 111 and 120 may be connected to the generally vertical frame rails 116, 123, and 124 via any of the aforementioned known fastening methods. A detailed example of the composite roof structure 95 will be explained in further detail below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
As shown in FIG. 1, and as discussed in further detail with relation to FIGS. 3 and 4, the composite roof structure 95 may include a membrane 105 that covers the top of the AHU enclosure 90 to provide a weather-resistance layer across the cover 100. In an aspect, the membrane 105 forms a continuous layer over the cover 100 that is free of any discontinuities on the top surface that would allow water or air or gas to penetrate through the membrane 105. To collect and re-direct any water that may run off of the membrane 105, the AHU enclosure 90 may include a single drip rail or a series of drip rails 109A-F. For example, drip rail 109A may run along the left side of the roof, drip rail 109B may run along a left side of the roof, drip rail 109C may run along a front side of the roof, and drip rails 109E and 109F may be separate corner pieces that connect the aforementioned drip rails. The one or more drip rails 109A-F may be fastened to non-horizontal sides of top frame rails 111 and 112 through the membrane 105, for example. The drip rail or series of drip rails may for example be connected to non-horizontal sides of the top frame rails 111 and 112 with the membrane 105 therebetween via a series of screws (e.g., 171 and 173 in FIG. 3) and/or a series of rivets, bolts, or any other appropriate type of fastener.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a more detailed example of the cover 100 usable with the AHU enclosure 90 includes a number of layers of structure and materials that define the composite roof structure 95. The cover 100 may include a series of frame rails extending along the X and Y directions as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. While only three frame rails are shown in the partial views shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cover 100 may include any number of frame rails that may correspond to the shape of the AHU enclosure 90. For example, in the AHU enclosure 90 of FIG. 1, a cover may include four frame rails that are joined to form a rectangular cover, for example. Further, if desired, a number of additional frame rails may span between two substantially parallel sets of frame rails to function as cross-members and provide additional structural support to the cover.
The partial perspective view of FIG. 2 and the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, show a first frame rail 111 (FIGS. 2 and 3), a second frame rail 119 (FIG. 3), and a third frame rail 112 (FIG. 2). The first frame rail 111, second frame rail 119, and/or the third frame rail 112 may be hollow with an outer surface formed of a metal, which may for example include aluminum, steel, or an alloy, for example. As another example, any one of or a combination of the frame rails used in the cover may for example be formed of a rigid plastic, a composite material, or any suitable material for providing structural rigidity to the AHU cover.
As shown in FIG. 2, the first frame rail 111, second frame rail 119, and/or the third frame rail 119 may be fastened to one another via fasteners (not show), or may be brazed, welded, and/or connected via an adhesive, for example. The frame may further include a vertical connection portion 114 that is configured to be connected to a vertical frame rail of the an AHU and/or an AHU enclosure. While only a single vertical connection portion 114 is shown in FIG. 2, the cover may include any number of vertical connection portions similar to or identical to the vertical connection portion 114 that are configured to connect to a respective vertical frame rail (e.g., generally vertical frame rails 116, 118, and 124 shown in FIG. 1 for example). Thus, in one aspect, the cover 100 and composite roof 95 may be assembled separately from the rest of the AHU xx and/or AHU enclosure 90, and affixed to the frame of the AHU or AHU enclosure, for example.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cover 100 may further include a first panel 113 that spans between the first frame rail 111 (FIGS. 2 and 3), the second frame rail 119 (FIG. 3), and/or the third frame rail 112 (FIG. 2). The first panel 113 may be formed of a metal, which may for example include aluminum, steel, or an alloy, for example. As another example, the first panel 113 may be formed of a rigid plastic, a composite material, or any suitable material for providing structural rigidity to the cover 100. As shown in FIG. 3, the cover 100 may further include a second panel 115 forming a surface that is substantially parallel to a first plane formed by the first panel 113. Further, the second panel 115 may include a first interface portion 171 and a second interface portion 179 configured to be received by a respective first channel 196 in the first frame rail 111 and a second channel 121 in a second frame rail. A space 117 or cavity between the first panel 113 and the second panel 115 may be filled with an insulation and sealed via gaskets 198 and 199. The insulation in space 117 may for example be comprised of a 2-part and/or expanding polyurethane or urethane foam, for example. The combination of the first panel 113, second panel 115, and/or the insulation with in space 117 may provide improved insulation, reduce or prevent condensation on the interior of the AHU enclosure and/or provide sound attenuation or sound deadening qualities, to name a few advantages.
The cover 100 may further include the composite roof structure 95 including an insulating layer 107 connected to a first panel surface of the first panel 113. The insulating layer 107 may be, for example, adhered to the first panel 113 via a first adhesive 101. The first adhesive may be, for example, a 2-part polyurethane foam adhesive which may comprise a Polymeric Isocyanate, Diphenylmethane, Tetraflouroethance, Methylenediphenyl diisocyanate, Isocyanic acid, plymethylenepolyphenylene esther, diazetidine, Tris (2-chloro-1-methylethyl) phosphate, 1-dimethylaminoethanol, triethylenediamine and/or Polyol Amines; In another example, an Acrylic Latex adhesive may be used, for example. The insulating layer 107 may be adhered to the first panel in sheets, for example. The insulating layer may be comprised of Polyisocyanurate, extruded Polystyrene, or expanded Polystyrene, for example. As an alternative, the insulating layer 107 may be, for example, self-adhering and include a coating of adhesive on a single or both sides of the insulating layer. In one aspect of the disclosure, the insulating layer 107 may be adhered to the horizontal or substantially horizontal surfaces of the top frame rails, e.g., first frame rail 111 (FIGS. 2 and 3), second frame rail 119 (FIG. 3), and a third frame rail 112 (FIG. 2).
In one aspect of the disclosure, the insulating layer 107 of the composite roof structure 95 may be configured to provide a slope or pitch to the composite roof of the cover 100. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the insulating layer 107 may be thicker at a location proximal to the first frame rail 111 and may be thinner at a location proximal to the second frame rail 119. In one aspect of the disclosure, the insulating layer 107 may increase in thickness from the first frame rail 111 to the second frame rail 119 so as to provide a rise and run of ⅛ of an inch per 1 inch. In another alternative aspect the insulating layer 107 may be thicker at a central point between the first frame rail 111 and the second frame rail 119 and may be thinner at a location proximal to the second frame rail 119 and at a location proximal to the first frame rail 111. The insulating layer 107 may provide improved insulation, prevent the pooling of water by providing a sloped surface, and may help to dissipate the effects of any negative and/or positive pressure within the AHU enclosure 90 though any seams, holes, and/or openings in the underlying cover structure.
The composite roof structure 95 of cover 100 may further include the membrane 105, which may be waterproof or comprise a waterproof or water-resistant layer. In one example the membrane may be fastened to the aforementioned insulating layer 107 via a second adhesive 103 and/or adhesive layer. The second adhesive 103 may for example be a 2-part adhesive that comprises a Polymeric Isocyanate and Polyol Amines, or an Acrylic Latex, for example. The membrane 105 may for example be self-adhering and include coating of adhesive on a single side of the membrane facing the insulating layer 107. The membrane 105 may for example comprise a Thermoplastic Polyolefin, an Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer, or a Polyvinyl Chloride. In one example, the membrane 105 may be fleece-backed to provide additional surface area for adherence of the second adhesive and/or adhesive layer 103. The membrane 105 may cover the top of the composite roof, the sides of the insulating layer 107, and/or a portion of the frame rails of the cover 100. For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the membrane 105 may extend to the first frame rail 111 (FIGS. 2 and 3), a second frame rail 119 (FIG. 3), and a third frame rail 112 (FIG. 2), thus eliminating any possible water or environmental ingress though seams or openings in the top surface of cover 100.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a portion of the membrane 105 that extends to the frame rails, e.g., the first frame rail 111 (FIGS. 2 and 3), a second frame rail 119 (FIG. 3), and a third frame rail 112 (FIG. 2), may be fastened to a substantially vertical side of each respective top frame rail via a series of drip rails 109A (FIGS. 1 and 2), 109B (FIG. 3), and 109C (FIG. 2). For example, the drip rails 109A-C may be fastened to the substantially vertical sides of top frame rails 111 and 112 through membrane 105, for example. The drip rail or series of drip rails may for example be connected to vertical sides of the top frame rails 111 and 112 with the membrane 105 therebetween via a series of screws (e.g., 171 and 173 in FIG. 3) and/or a series of rivets, bolts, or any other appropriate type of fastener. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the drip rail may include drip rail corner pieces 109D, 109E, and 109F at the junctions of drip rails 109A, 109B, and 109C, for example. It is noted that while several individual drip rails that are joined together are shown in FIGS. 1-4, as an alternative the drip rail may for example be comprised of a single drip rail that is formed from a single piece of material, for example. By providing a drip rail to fasten membrane 105 to the frame of the cover structure, the membrane is securely fastened to the structure thus decreasing the possibility of the membrane separating from the insulating layer 107, for example. Further the drip rail provides an additional measure to prevent ingress of water into the AHU enclosure 90 by directing water flow away from the sides of the unit. In addition, the aforementioned structure provides a decrease in the possibility of inconstancies during the manufacturing of the AHU cover system and/or during installation of the AHU cover system on site by removing possible water ingress points from the horizontal surfaces of the AHU cover that would need to be sealed by a technician, for example. FIGS. 4 and 5 show a roof structure with a number of elements that are similar or identical to those outlined with reference to FIGS. 1-3 above. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the composite roof structure may further include a series of support members 106A-E provided between a first panel 113 and insulating layer 107. Each one of the series of support members 106A-E may be formed as an elongated strip that extends along the Y direction in FIGS. 4 and 5, for example. The support members may be formed of any rigid and/or semi-rigid material and may provide support to the insulating layer and/or provide support at a seem between a plurality of insulating layers if the insulating layer is comprised of multiple insulating layers, for example. The support members may be formed of a metallic material such as steel, aluminum, or alloy; may be formed of a foam; and/or may be formed of a composite or plastic material for example. Further, the support members 106A-E may be adhered to the first panel 113 via a separate adhesive prior to application of the first adhesive layer 113 and/or may be placed on the first panel 113 and prior to application of the first adhesive layer 113 and adhered to the first panel 113 and the insulating layer via the first adhesive layer 113. The support members 106A-E, may be arranged such that the major axis of each of the plurality of support members extends along a sloping direction of the insulating layer 107 (e.g., along an x axis direction in FIG. 3). In another aspect, the support members 106A-E may be arranged such that the major axis of each of the plurality of support members extends a transverse direction with respect to the sloping direction of the insulating layer 107. In another aspect, the support members 106A-E may be arranged such that the major axis of each of the plurality of support members extends diagonally or at an angle with respect to any one of the frame rails, e.g., first frame rail 111 (FIGS. 2 and 3), second frame rail 119 (FIG. 3), and/or the third frame rail 112 (FIG. 2). In yet another aspect, the support member may be provided as a solid sheet instead of as a series of elongated support members as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Referring to FIG. 6, one example of the AHU enclosure the may include multiple AHU enclosures and covers connectable to one another at shipping breaks. Shipping breaks are provided when a AHU or AHU enclosure is too large to transport as a single unit. Thus an AHU and/or AHU enclosure is delivered as several separate modules that include shipping breaks that are joined on site. It is noted that a number of the features and advantages mentioned above with respect to a single AHU cover are likewise also applicable to an AHU and/or AHU enclosure, thus a number of details that have been described and are applicable to the example AHU and/or AHU enclosure of FIG. 6 are omitted.
As shown in FIG. 6, an example of the multiple, connectable AHU enclosures may include a first AHU enclosure 290A and a second AHU enclosure 290B separated by a shipping break at borders 221A and 221B. The borders 221A and 221B may be at or defined by generally vertical frame rails similar to the generally vertical frame rails 116, 123, and 124 in FIG. 1. Once the first AHU enclosure 290A and the second AHU enclosure 290B is delivered to an installation site, boarders 221A and 221B are joined in a direction denoted by arrow 222. Each of the AHU enclosures 290A and 290B may include covers 200A and 200B respectively. Each cover 200A and 200B may comprise the composite roof structure 95 discussed above with relation to FIGS. 1-3. Accordingly, the first cover 200A may include a membrane 205A and a second cover may include a membrane 205B. Prior to on-site assembly, a composite roof structure 95 as described above with relation to FIGS. 1-4 may be installed on each of the first cover 200A and the second cover 200B. As one example, a membrane 205A of the first cover 200A may be connected to a first frame 219A a second frame (hidden from view in FIG. 6) and a third frame 211A via drip rails 209A 209B, and 209C for example.
In one aspect, in order to allow the assembly and subsequent sealing of the shipping break, the membrane 205A of the first cover 200A and the membrane of the second cover 200B may not be connected to a frame rail via a drip rail at a shipping break. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the membrane 205B of the second cover 200B ends at a shipping break border 319B. While hidden from view in FIG. 6, a similar shipping break border may be provided on the first cover 200A. Further, drip rail 209C may be configured to not span the entire length of a first frame 219A, thus leaving a gap between the border 221A of the shipping break and the drip rail 209C. Similarly, a drip rail 209D of first frame 219B of the second cover 200B may not span the entire length of frame 219B, thus leaving a gap between the border 221B of the shipping break. While hidden from view in FIG. 6, a similar configuration may be disposed on an opposite side of the first cover 200A and the second cover 200B, for example.
Once the first AHU enclosure 290A an second AHU enclosure 290B are joined in a direction denoted by arrow 222, a second membrane 207 may be provided to overlap a portion (e.g., reference 331) of the membrane of the first cover 200A, and to overlap a similar portion of the second cover 200B. The second membrane 207 may comprise a Thermoplastic Polyolefin, an Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer, or a Polyvinyl Chloride to name some examples. Further the second membrane 207 may be adhered to membranes 205A and 205B via an adhesive, which may for example include a 2-part adhesive that comprises a Polymeric Isocyanate and Polyol Amines. In another aspect, the adhesive may for example be a peal-and-stick adhesive provided on one side of the second membrane and configured to permanently adhere to membranes 205A and 205B.
Once the second membrane 207 is adhered to membranes 205A and 205B, the second membrane 207 may be fastened to the first frame 219A of the first cover 200A and the first frame 219B of the second cover 200B via a connector drip rail 219 that spans the shipping break. While hidden from view in FIG. 6, a similar or identical connector drip rail may be used to fasten the second membrane 207 to an opposite side of the AHU enclosure. Accordingly, the current disclosure also provides similar advantages to those expressed above for AHU and/or AHU enclosures that are large enough to require shipping breaks for transportation. Further, the current disclosure provides a simple system for weatherproofing shipping breaks of an AHU and/or AHU enclosures when such a system in installed on site, thus decreasing the possibility of inconstancies during installation of the system on site.
