1. An air mixing system for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
a conduit defining an airflow path and configured to receive two or more airflows, to direct the two or more airflows along the airflow path, and to discharge the two or more airflows as a mixed airflow; and
a thermal wheel disposed entirely within the airflow path of the conduit, wherein the conduit is configured to direct the two or more airflows across the thermal wheel, and the thermal wheel is configured to rotate within the conduit to further mix the two or more airflows to generate the mixed airflow.
