Drain pan assembly for fan coil unit

Abstract

A fan coil unit is provided including a cabinet formed from a plurality of panels. A fan assembly is configured to circulate air through the cabinet. A heat exchanger assembly is positioned within the cabinet. The heat exchanger assembly includes at least one heat exchanger coil arranged in a heat transfer relationship with the air circulating through the cabinet. An inner surface of at least one of the plurality of panels is partially lined with an elastomeric foam insulation so that the air circulating through the cabinet does not contact the portion of the at least one panel lined with the elastomeric foam insulation.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A fan coil unit, comprising:
 a cabinet formed from a plurality of panels;   a fan assembly configured to circulate air through the cabinet;   a heat exchanger assembly positioned within the cabinet, the heat exchanger assembly including at least one heat exchanger coil arranged in a heat transfer relationship with the air circulating through the cabinet; and   wherein a portion of an inner surface of at least one of the plurality of panels is partially lined with an elastomeric foam insulation such that the air circulating through the cabinet does not contact the inner surface of the portion of the at least one panel lined with elastomeric foam insulation.   
     
     
         2 . The fan coil unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the elastomeric foam insulation has a substantially closed cell structure. 
     
     
         3 . The fan coil unit according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of panels is lined with the elastomeric foam insulation. 
     
     
         4 . The fan coil unit according to  claim 1 , wherein pieces of elastomeric foam insulation are positioned adjacent to one another forming an interference fit. 
     
     
         5 . The fan coil unit according to  claim 4 , wherein adjacent pieces of elastomeric foam insulation are positioned generally perpendicularly to one another near a corner of the cabinet. 
     
     
         6 . The fan coil unit according to  claim 1 , wherein a bent flange extending from at least one of the panels is received within a complementary slit formed in the thickness of the elastomeric foam insulation.
