PTAC unit with dynamic intelligent air management system and method of use

1. A refrigerated air conditioning unit partitioned into an inside plenum and an outside plenum and having a single refrigeration loop, a single evaporator, and a recirculated air blower operable to produce a recirculated air stream into an identified space whenever the unit is operating, the unit further comprising:

a fresh air duct, a fresh air blower, and a dynamic intelligent air management system (DIAMS) internal to the unit that are cooperatively configured and operable to continuously introduce a preconditioned fresh air stream directly into the recirculated air stream whenever the unit is operating and to exercise control over a mixed air flow discharged from the unit into the identified space to achieve a desired temperature and humidity within the identified space;

wherein the fresh air duct comprises an inlet section, a damper section and a fresh air blower section into which a stream of fresh air is drawn from outdoors by the fresh air blower to be preconditioned and then discharged from the fresh air blower into a preconditioned fresh air redirection and distribution guide to be redirected, distributed and discharged across the width of the inside plenum to intermix the preconditioned fresh air stream with the recirculated air stream, and wherein the damper section of the fresh air duct comprises a damper that is opened fully by a damper motor controlled by a digital controller of the DIAMS and remains open whenever the recirculated air blower is operating to allow the fresh air blower to discharge preconditioned fresh air to be intermixed with the recirculated air stream; and

wherein the fresh air duct comprises at least one fresh air filtering apparatus and at least one fresh air purification apparatus; and

wherein the at least one fresh air filtering apparatus is located between the damper and the fresh air blower, and is accessible from inside the identified space.
