Abstract

Panel ( 6 ) for a module of an air handling unit, the panel defining a main axis (X 6 ) perpendicular to its surface and including an exterior plate ( 8 ), an interior plate ( 10 ), and a layer ( 12 ) made of insulating material arranged between the exterior plate and the interior plate, the plates and the layer being parallel to one another and perpendicular to the main axis of the panel. A gap ( 18 ) of thickness (e) parallel to the main axis of the panel is defined between the layer made of insulating material and at least one plate out of the exterior plate and the interior plate, the thickness being greater than or equal to 10 mm.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Panel ( 6 ) for a module ( 2 ) of an air handling unit ( 1 ), the panel defining a main axis (X 6 ) perpendicular to its surface and including:
 an exterior plate ( 8 ),   an interior plate ( 10 ), and   a layer ( 12 ) made of insulating material arranged between the exterior plate and the interior plate,   the plates and the layer being parallel to one another and perpendicular to the main axis of the panel, the panel being characterized in that a gap ( 18 ) with a thickness (e) parallel to the main axis (X 6 ) of the panel ( 6 ) is defined between the layer made of insulating material ( 12 ) and at least one plate out of the exterior plate ( 8 ) and the interior plate ( 10 ), the thickness (e) being greater than or equal to 10 mm.   
     
     
         2 . Panel according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the gap ( 18 ) is defined between the layer made of insulating material ( 12 ) and the interior plate ( 10 ). 
     
     
         3 . Panel according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the gap ( 18 ) is defined between the layer made of insulating material ( 12 ) and the exterior plate ( 8 ). 
     
     
         4 . Panel according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the exterior plate ( 8 ) and the interior plate ( 10 ) are each provided with edges ( 14 ,  16 ) and in that the edges of at least one plate, out of the exterior plate and the interior plate, are oriented parallel to the main axis (X 6 ) of the panel ( 6 ) and towards the other plate. 
     
     
         5 . Panel according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the edges ( 14 ) of the exterior plate ( 8 ) are squeezed, perpendicularly to the main axis (X 6 ) of the panel ( 6 ), against the edges of the interior plate ( 10 ). 
     
     
         6 . Panel according to  claim 5 , characterized in that a gap ( 20 ) of thickness perpendicular to the main axis (X 6 ) of the panel ( 6 ) is defined between the edges ( 14 ,  16 ) of the exterior and interior plates ( 8 ,  10 ) and the layer made of insulating material ( 12 ). 
     
     
         7 . Panel according to  claim 4 , characterized in that it includes a joining element ( 14 ) made of polymer material arranged around the layer made of insulating material ( 12 ) and inserted between the exterior plate ( 8 ) and the interior plate ( 10 ) along the main axis (X 6 ), the edges ( 14 ,  16 ) of the exterior and interior plates being arranged in a niche ( 30 ,  32 ), respectively, of the joining element. 
     
     
         8 . Panel according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the exterior plate ( 8 ) and the interior plate ( 10 ) are made of metal. 
     
     
         9 . Module ( 2 ) of an air handling unit ( 1 ), the module comprising several surfaces ( 4 ), at least one surface consisting of a panel ( 6 ) according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         10 . Air handling unit ( 1 ) including a plurality of modules ( 2 ) and a plurality of components, each module including a component, the component being:
 a ventilation unit,   a heating battery and/or a cooling battery,   at least one filter,   movable slat shutters,   a recuperation unit, and   a humidifier,   the unit being characterized in that at least one module ( 2 ) is according to  Claim 9 .
