Abstract:
1. An improved wall construction for an air handling enclosure, comprising: a frame member having an inner wall and a mounting surface that is spaced from said inner wall, said frame member defining a cavity thereon, and said frame member having sufficient thickness such that said frame member is self supporting and adapted to serve as a primary load bearing structure of the air handling enclosure; a non-structural insulating material disposed within said cavity of said frame member; a metallic sheet parallel to and spaced from said mounting surface, thereby defining an air gap between said frame member and said metallic sheet; and a plurality of elongate rails having at least a first mounting flange having a first end and a second end, a second mounting flange having a first end and a second end, and a base portion having a first end and a second end, wherein said first mounting flange is in opposed, face-to-face relation with said mounting surface and connected to said mounting surface, and said second mounting flange is spaced from the mounting surface of the frame member and in opposed, face-to-face relation with said mounting surface and is connected to said metallic sheet, and wherein said first mounting flange and said second mounting flange each extend in the same direction from opposite ends of the base portion of the elongate rail.
