A heat exchanger device includes an air duct, a thermal transfer unit disposed within the air duct, and at least one bracket fixed to the exterior of the air duct for mounting fluid lines line coupled to the thermal transfer unit to the outside of the duct. The bracket includes a base and an arm. The arm extends obliquely from the base, and has an aperture for receiving a fluid line. A method for mounting a fluid supply line to a duct is also disclosed, and includes the steps of providing a bracket with a base and an arm, fixing the base of the bracket to the exterior of the duct, and engaging the fluid supply line in a receiving portion of the arm of the bracket.

A heat exchanger device includes an air duct, a thermal transfer unit disposed within the air duct, and at least one bracket fixed to the exterior of the air duct for mounting fluid lines coupled to the thermal transfer unit to the outside of the duct. The bracket includes a base and a plurality of arms. The arms extend obliquely from the base, and each of the plurality of arms has an aperture for receiving a fluid line. A method for mounting a plurality of fluid supply lines to a duct is also disclosed, and includes the steps of providing a bracket with a base and a plurality of arms, fixing the base of the bracket to the exterior of the duct, and engaging each of the fluid supply lines in a receiving portion of one of the plurality of arms of the bracket.

A preassembled flow control unit includes a plenum, a flow controller mounted to the plenum, and a flow control sensor mounted to the plenum. An isolation valve selectively blocks the flow of air between the plenum and the flow controller. An optional thermal coil is also mounted to the plenum to control the temperature of air flowing therethrough. In a particular embodiment, the thermal coil is mounted to an open end of the plenum opposite the flow controller, and the fluid lines serving the thermal coil are also mounted to the plenum, with an automatic valve in at least one of the fluid lines. An optional protective bracket protects the automatic valve from incidental damage during transportation an installation of the flow control unit. An electrical disconnect and a power converter are also mounted on the plenum. The power converter receives electrical power from the disconnect, converts a first voltage from the disconnect to a second lower voltage, and provides the second voltage to the flow controller and/or the automatic valve. Preassembly of the flow control unit facilitates pretesting and/or precertification of the flow control unit, and provides for easier installation.
