Method of installing a universal air handler
A method for installing a universal air handler for a building air conditioning system includes installing a compact outdoor cabinet having a blower and separate intake and outlet chambers separated by an evaporator core. Cool and return air ducts from the building couple to each chamber. Return air drawn by the blower into the return air chamber passes across the evaporator, then through the blower and out through the cool air duct. Coolant lines couple the evaporator to a nearby stand-alone condenser/compressor unit. In one embodiment, an adapter enables stacking the condenser/compressor unit atop the cabinet to reduce the footprint of the combination. In another embodiment, a manifold couples permanently to the building air ducts and releasably couples to the cabinet. The universal air handler easily decouples from the manifold for transportation and maintenance. The manifold may be installed in various locations around the building, including on the roof.
