Abstract:
An insulation panel for cabinets containing air handling equipment, comprising:a first housing section forming a chamber and having an annular flange defining an opening into said chamber, said flange having a side surface facing said chamber, a second housing section having a circumferential side wall extending through said opening into said chamber of said first housing section to form a space for insulation material between said first and second housing sections, a first gasket extending along said side surface of said annular flange of said first housing section, snap-in engagement means arranged on said circumferential side wall of said second housing section and adapted to snap engage with said side surface of said flange of said first housing section via said first gasket, when said circumferential side wall is inserted through said opening into said chamber, to join said first and second housing sections to each other, and a resilient second gasket arranged between said circumferential side wall of said second housing section and said first housing section, wherein said circumferential side wall abuts against said second gasket to somewhat compress the latter, whereby said snap-in engagement means abut against said first gasket under some pressure so that said first and second housing sections form a rigid unit.
