Patent ID: 7185513

Claim:
A low profile evaporator coil assembly for use in heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, the assembly being located proximal to a discharge side of a heating furnace or the inlet side of an air handler and upstream of a plenum, the assembly comprising: multiple coil slabs, each slab having coil segments that define an internal passage therewithin, said passage being adapted for a refrigerant flow therethrough, the multiple coil slabs having an angle of inclination to a major component of air entering the multiple coil slabs; and a baffle associated with each coil slab of the multiple coil slabs for directing air through a corresponding one of the multiple coil slabs, the baffle associated with each coil slab being positioned around opposed ends of the corresponding one of the multiple coil slabs, the baffle associated with each coil slab being configured to direct substantially all of the air that contacts the baffle through the corresponding one of the multiple coil slabs.
