Zusammenfassung:	A ducting assembly, apparatus and method of manufacture is provided. The assembly includes a housing, and a duct inside the housing for channeling outside air from an inlet of the duct to an outlet of the duct to a fan of a micro-chiller unit. The duct is configured with a variable parametric three-dimensional (3D) shape to discretely reverse a flow of the outside air as the outside air is channeled inside the duct. The outside air is received, in a first direction at the inlet of the duct through a first stage of the duct that expands airflow of the outside air inside the duct and then is discretely reversed, in a second direction by the variable parametric 3D shape to flow to the outlet of the duct through a second stage that constricts the airflow of the outside air inside the duct to reduce maldistribution of air.
