Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An air treatment module includes an air plenum, a heat exchanger tube and a bypass duct. The bypass duct has an inlet opening in flow communication with the air plenum in juxtaposition with a selected region of the heat exchanger and an outlet opening in flow communication with a zone of lower air pressure. The presence of the bypass duct improves air flow over the heat exchanger tube in the selected region.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An air treatment module comprising: an air treatment plenum defining an air flow path and having an air inlet for receiving a flow of air to be treated and an air outlet through which a flow of treated air discharges from the air treatment plenum; an air heating heat exchanger disposed in the air flow path within the air treatment plenum for conveying a heat transfer fluid in heat exchange relationship with the flow of air to be treated; and a bypass duct having a…
