Door and frame for air handling unit
A door and frame combination for an air handling unit consists of a frame, a hinged door with a hollow core filled with insulating material, and a gasket having a flexible gasket wall with anti-roll extensions. The gasket may have a friction-reducing material on its surface to assist in preventing roll-over by the closing door. Optional thermal pockets in the door and frame are filled with high-density polyurethane to provide further protection against air leakage.

(a) the hinged door engageable with the frame, the door further comprising a front wall, rear wall, and side walls enclosing a hollow core and insulating material filling the hollow core; wherein the insulating material is expanding polyurethane foam; and
(b) a gasket between the door and the frame, the gasket further comprising a flexible gasket wall with anti-roll extensions, and further comprising a friction reducing material on the gasket wall;
(c) opposed thermal pockets in the door and in the frame, the thermal pockets being filled with high-density polyurethane; and
wherein the door and frame can withstand a pressure differential of greater than eleven inches of air pressure.
2. The door and frame combination of claim 1 wherein the gasket further comprises a central hollow core.
