Definitions

  • HVAC heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
  • An HVAC unit typically includes a refrigeration circuit having a compressor, condenser and evaporator in fluid communication with each other and circulating a working fluid such as refrigerant or other cooling medium therethrough.
  • the components are typically located in a housing, through which fresh air and/or return air from a conditioned space is circulated and a supply airflow of a selected temperature is output to the conditioned space.
  • Such products are typically installed on a roof of a building, but may also be installed at other locations, such as on the ground.
  • the flow of supply air is powered through the HVAC unit by a fan that is either housed, or unhoused.
  • plenum fans are fans without housings that discharge feely into a plenum or cabinet space and discharge air in all directions rather than having flow directed as with a housed fan.
  • a supply air fan or impeller (wheel) can be described by the blade constructions, and may include forward-curved fans, airfoil fans, and vane axial fans.
  • an airflow is drawn into the fan from a heat exchanger (e.g., evaporator, condenser), and the plenum is negatively pressurized as airflow is directed to a space to be conditioned.
  • a heat exchanger e.g., evaporator, condenser
  • This operation may cause a standing airflow vortex to form in the plenum.
  • the vortex can be ingested by the fan leading to fan blade passage tones that negatively impact perceived sound quality and overall sound levels.
  • a device such as a filter
  • Such devices require an interaction with the main airflow stream entering the fan, which can typically impede airflow. Impeded air flow can result in pressure losses associated with flow filtering and lead to diminished fan performance.

  • the vortex control device includes a length dimension that is equal to or greater than 0.25 times and equal to or less than 1.5 times, the height of the at least one plenum wall.
  • the vortex control device includes a width dimension that is equal to or greater than 0.5 times the diameter of the fan hub and equal to or less than 3.0 times the diameter of the fan shroud.

  • the present disclosure provides for a system and method for controlling an airflow in an HVAC unit. It should be evident however to one skilled in the art that the present disclosure is not limited to the specific examples given and could be utilized in other systems where it may be desirable to control an HVAC airflow.
  • HVAC unit 10 is configured to be mounted, for example, on a rooftop or alternatively on the ground next to a building.
  • the HVAC unit 10 is generally contained in a housing 14 and includes a condenser portion 16 and an evaporator portion 18.
  • the condenser portion 16 includes a compressor 20 for increasing the pressure of a working fluid (e.g., refrigerant) and directing the working fluid to a condenser 22 located in the condenser portion 16.
  • a working fluid e.g., refrigerant
  • the condenser portion 16 includes a condenser portion inlet 36 and a condenser portion outlet 38.
  • a condenser fan 40 directs an outside airflow 42 into the condenser portion inlet 38, across the condenser 22 and out of the condenser portion outlet 36 to reject heat from the condenser 22.
  • the evaporator portion 18 includes a first heat exchanger (e.g., evaporator) 24, and a plenum 25 having at least one wall, each adjacent to at least one blower 26.
  • the plenum 25 includes at least one operably coupled vortex control device 27.
  • the at least one blower 26 provides for movement of a supply airflow 28 which may be returned from a conditioned space 30 across the first heat exchanger 24, through which the refrigerant flows, to cool the supply airflow 28.
  • the supply airflow 28 is then directed to the conditioned space 30 via an outlet 32 and a supply duct 34.
  • the at least one blower 26 may have an upper portion and a lower portion (not shown).
  • the upper portion allows for the intake of supply airflow 28.
  • the lower portion allows the supply airflow 28 to exit the at least one blower 26 continuing along the supply airflow pathway 46.
  • the HVAC unit 10 includes a section downstream of the at least one blower 26, which includes a gas-fired heat exchanger 44, or alternatively a heating coil or an electric resistance heater, located in a supply airflow pathway 46 between the at least one blower 26 and the outlet 32.
  • the HVAC unit 10 can operate in either a cooling mode or a heating mode.
  • cooling mode the supply airflow 28 is cooled by flowing across the first heat exchanger 24.

If a standing vortex forms, it may become anchored on at least one inner wall of plenum 25. In this example, as the blower 26 draws in supply airflow 28, it may also ingest at least one standing vortex which may cause blade passage tones that can negatively impact perceived sound quality and increase the sound overall levels of the HVAC unit 10. The cycle of forming and ingesting at least one standing vortex may result in a persistent unwanted tone emanating from the HVAC unit 10.
