Claim 16:
17. A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
a conduit defining an airflow path and comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the conduit is configured to direct a first airflow and a second airflow through the airflow path of the conduit in a flow direction from the first end to the second end;
a rotary air homogenizer disposed entirely within the airflow path of the conduit between the first end and the second end, wherein the rotary air homogenizer is configured to receive the first airflow and the second airflow, transfer heat between the first airflow and the second airflow, and rotate to impart a lateral velocity to the first airflow and the second airflow to generate a mixed airflow comprising the first airflow and the second airflow, wherein the second end of the conduit is configured to discharge the mixed airflow to a conditioned space;
one or more sensors disposed within the conduit, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to provide feedback indicative of a temperature of the first airflow, the second airflow, the mixed airflow, or any combination thereof; and
a controller communicatively coupled to the rotary air homogenizer and the one or more sensors, wherein the controller is configured to regulate operation of the rotary air homogenizer based on the feedback.
