A sound-baffling arrangement for use in conjunction with an air-handling
unit. One or more sound baffle columns are mounted for rolling or sliding
movement within the interior of the air handling unit housing. Each
baffle column may be selectively moved between a use position proximate
to the fan assemblies, and a non-use position more distal from the fan
assemblies. The movable sound baffles permit the air-handling unit to be
fabricated to fit within a smaller housing, and thus to have a smaller,
more economical footprint.
