Claim 0:
1. A method of assembling a modular industrial energy transfer system, the method comprising:
providing a shell including a plurality of sidewalls, a ceiling member coupled to the plurality of sidewalls, and a plurality of mounting structures disposed along the shell;
identifying, based on at least one desired characteristic of the modular industrial energy transfer system, at least one energy transfer unit from a group of selectable energy transfer units;
selecting the at least one identified energy transfer unit;
assembling the modular industrial energy transfer system by mounting the at least one selected energy transfer unit to the shell via at least one of the plurality of mounting structures;
wherein the identified at least one energy transfer unit comprises:
a base member including a motor and at least one mounting leg coupled to the motor;
a housing member including a housing body having a drive opening, a housing inlet, and at least one coupling mechanism, the at least one mounting leg being operably coupled to the at least one coupling mechanism;
a fan at least partially disposed within the housing member and being operably coupled to the motor via a motor drive shaft; and
a duct member operably coupled to the housing member, the housing member including a duct body having a duct inlet and at least one duct outlet;
wherein actuation of the motor causes the fan to rotate, thereby causing air in the interior volume of the shell to enter the housing inlet and circulate through the at least one duct outlet.
