Packaged water-cooled air turnover unit

Abstract

A packaged air turnover unit is described herein. The packaged air turnover comprises a compressor and condenser within a housing of the packaged air turnover unit. The packaged air turnover unit further includes one or more heat exchangers to cool air and one or more heaters to heat air, providing either cooling or heating to a space depending on the configuration of the unit.

1 . An air turnover unit, the air turnover unit comprising:
 a housing having an air intake configured to intake air from the interior space and an air exhaust configured to exhaust the air into the interior space, the housing configured to enclose:
 a heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between air moving around a coil of the heat exchanger and a refrigerant moving through the coil of the heat exchanger; 
   a fan configured to:
 pull air into the housing through an air intake, 
 through the heat exchanger, 
 and out of the housing through an air exhaust; 
   a compressor configured to compress the refrigerant received from the heat exchanger;   a condenser configured to cool and condense the refrigerant received from the compressor; and   an expansion valve configured to reduce a temperature and pressure of the refrigerant received from the condenser; and   a chilled water supply configured to supply chilled water to the condenser.   
     
     
         2 . The air turnover unit of  claim 1 , further comprising a heater configured to heat the air exhausting into the interior space. 
     
     
         3 . The air turnover unit of  claim 2 , wherein the heater is a direct-fired heater. 
     
     
         4 . The air turnover unit of  claim 2 , wherein the heater is an indirect-fired heater. 
     
     
         5 . The air turnover unit of  claim 1 , further comprising a diffuser configured to direct air to the air exhaust.
