Description
- The present invention relates to air handling units and in particular to panel constructions and panel support arrangements for air handling units.
- An air handling unit typically comprises a casing made up from a number of thermally insulating panels which are joined together into a desired shape. Typically such panels comprise inner and outer sheet metal skins which sandwich an insulating material between them.
- The panels are connected together by mounting them to supports which incorporate elastomeric seals arranged to prevent leakage of air between the panel and support.
- Various panel constructions and panel mounting arrangements are described in
US-A-5285609 ,GB-A-842939 US-A-445262 ,US-A-3267626 ,US-A-4326365 ,US-A-3540116 ,EP-A-0468597 ,US-A-4782637 andUS-B1-6350000 . - The present invention seeks to provide an improved panel construction and mounting arrangement.
- The present invention provides an apparatus as claimed in claim 1. Two recesses are provided on adjacent faces of one corner, so as to form an L-shaped recess at that corner, thus allowing panels to be connected together in different orientations with the same connector.
- A seal, typically 0.2 to 0.5mm thick may be positioned between the flange and support to provide airtightness.
- Preferably the panel construction comprises first and second sheet metal members and thermal insulation material retained between the sheet metal members, peripheral portions of said sheet metal members being joined together at a peripheral flange, wherein the peripheral portion of the second sheet metal member is wrapped around the peripheral portion of the first sheet metal member so as to trap the peripheral portion of the first sheet metal member between two layers of the second sheet metal member.
- In this construction, the peripheral portion of one sheet member is sandwiched between two thicknesses of the other sheet material. This arrangement gives a particularly strong construction which is capable of withstanding substantial pressures and forces.
- Preferably the first sheet metal member is channel-like in cross section order to receive the insulating material, and the second sheet metal member substantially planar, closing the open face of the channel.
- The insulating material may be a polymeric foam, rockwool, fibreglass or any suitable material depending on the particular mechanical and/or thermally insulating properties required of the panel.
- Depending on the properties required, the sheet metal is preferably less than 1.5mm thick. For example in a panel which is required to have good acoustic insulation properties, it may be up to 1.25mm thick. For thermal insulation properties, however, a thinner material is desirable.
- A thickness which has been found to give a good combination of strength and low heat conduction is 0.8mm. However, thinner material for example 0.6mm thick, may be used if strength is less of a requirement or if the panel is filled with a relatively strong insulation material such as a foam.
- Preferably the panel walls are spaced apart by between 50 and 100mm. Preferably, however, the walls are spaced apart by 60mm.
- The peripheral flange of the panel may be provided with holes extending therethrough to receive a fastener for fastening the panel to a support.
- Preferably the fastener is a self-tapping screw which taps into the receiving surface. However, other fasteners, for example bolts and so on, may be envisaged.
- Preferably the support or connecting member is a hollow body. Most preferably it is a roll formed and welded body. For strength purposes it is preferably at least 1mm thick
- The support or connecting member comprises engagement or receiving surfaces arranged at the desired angle to each other. Preferably the engagement surfaces are arranged at right angles to allow panels to be connected at right angles.
- The fastener may be countersunk into the peripheral flange of the panel where it is desired to position the flange of one panel adjacent the wall of an adjacent panel. Alternatively, the fastener may stand proud of the flange.
- One problem which arises with connections between panels is that of transmission of heat to the outside of the unit through the fastener. This potentially gives a higher spot temperature on the outside leading to the unit being given a lower thermal bridging rating.
- This problem is overcome in accordance with a preferred aspect of this invention by providing a heat distribution member arranged in contact with the fastener and acting to distribute heat from the fastener over a larger area, thereby reducing the spot temperature.
- Preferably the heat distribution member is a cap or the like which fits over the head of the fastener to cover the head of the fastener from view. Most preferably it clips over the fastener head. To this end it may have a plurality of resilient tangs which clip under the head of the fastener when the cap is placed in position.
- Preferably the heat distribution member fits over a plurality of fasteners, and most preferably it is in the form of a strip having spaced apart formations for engaging the respective fasteners. The strip is preferably sheet steel, most preferably between 0.6 and 1mm thick, most preferably 0.8mm thick.
- Preferably the strip is generally rectangular in cross section with spaced inner and outer walls, the inner wall having formations for engaging the fasteners and the outer wall covering the fastener head.
- The panel connections may allow the panels to be separated. The side wall of the connector may be provided with a recess to receive a seal which, when assembled together with a complementary connector, provides airtightness between the panels.
