Claim 17:
18. An HVAC modular bulkhead system for support of one or more suspended fans comprising:
a modular bulkhead wall;
wherein the modular bulkhead wall further comprises a first side panel, a second side panel, and a plurality of middle panels;
wherein each of the plurality of middle panels includes a front surface, a back surface, a stiffening flange, and a c-channel;
wherein the plurality of middle panels includes at least one filler panel and at least one fan panel;
wherein the at least one fan panel includes at least one panel opening;
wherein the at least one panel opening has a ledge disposed beneath the bottom edge thereof;
wherein the first side panel and the second side panel each include a front surface and a back surface;
wherein attached to one end of the first side panel and second side panel is either a stiffening flange or a c-channel;
wherein the stiffening flange or the c-channel of the first side panel and second side panel is interlocked and attached with the corresponding c-channel or stiffening flange of the adjacent panel;
wherein the stiffening flange or the c-channel of the filler panel is interlocked and attached with the corresponding c-channel or stiffening flange of the adjacent panel;
wherein the stiffening flange or the c-channel of the fan panel is interlocked and attached with the corresponding c-channel or stiffening flange of the adjacent panel;
wherein a tubular intermediate bulkhead stiffening element having a substantially enclosed horizontal cross-section is formed by interlocking and attaching the stiffening flange and the c-channel of adjacent panels, and the front surfaces of each adjacent panel are aligned colinear; and
one or more fans;
wherein the one or more fans each has an integrally attached fan plate, each fan plate comprising a bottom edge;
wherein, during suspension of the one or more integrally attached fan and fan plate on the fan panel, the fan plate bottom edge is pivotably supported in the at least one panel opening ledge;
whereby the integrally attached fan and fan plate are pivoted upwardly such that the at least one fan plate covers the at least one fan panel opening and is attached thereto, and
provides support for suspension of the at least one fan from the at least one fan panel.
