Abstract
An air-handling unit including a housing with a discharge opening, and a fan disposed substantially within the housing. The fan includes a fan discharge that extends through the discharge opening thereby defining a gap between the fan discharge and the housing surrounding the discharge opening. A brush seal is coupled to one of the housing about the discharge opening and the fan discharge such that the brush seal extends across the gap forming a seal between the discharge opening and the fan discharge.
