Claim 10:
11. An air mixing unit for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
a conduit defining an airflow path, the conduit comprising a first inlet configured to receive a first airflow and a second inlet configured to receive a second airflow, wherein the conduit is configured to direct the first airflow and the second airflow along the airflow path in a flow direction;
a mixing chamber disposed within the conduit, wherein the first inlet is configured to direct the first airflow into the mixing chamber, and the second inlet is configured to direct the second airflow into the mixing chamber to combine the first airflow and the second airflow within the mixing chamber;
an enthalpy wheel disposed entirely within the airflow path of the conduit and downstream of the mixing chamber relative to the flow direction, wherein the enthalpy wheel is configured to rotate within the conduit and transmit the first airflow and the second airflow therethrough to further mix the first airflow and the second airflow to generate a mixed airflow; and
a motor coupled to the enthalpy wheel, wherein the motor is configured to induce rotation of the enthalpy wheel.
