- Put one baffle between the top rear edge of the
refrigerator and the inside edge of the upper
exhaust vent opening.
- Put the other baffle between the outside edge of the
upper exhaust vent opening and the side wall of the
vehicle.
- If the depth of the enclosure is 24 inches or more and is less
than 25 inches, no baffles are necessary at the rear of the
enclosure.
- If the depth of the enclosure is 25 inches or more and is
less than 26 inches, add two baffles [16] to the rear of the
enclosure (See Art01676 and Art01677).
- Put one baffle 18 inches to 18 1/2 inches above the
bottom of the enclosure [17] (4 1/4 inches to 4 3/4
inches above the top of the lower intake vent opening
REF) [18] .
- Put the other baffle at the lowest edge of the condenser
[11] of the refrigerator.
- Make sure that the baffles are 1 inch or less [19]
from the coils [10] and condenser [11] of the
refrigerator.
- Make sure that the baffles are the full width of the
inside of the enclosure.
- If the depth of the enclosure is more than 26 inches, install
a wood or an aluminum or galvanized sheet solid box
baffle [21] in the rear of the enclosure (See Art01681 and
Art01682).
- Make sure that the bottom of the solid box baffle is
18 inches to 18 1/2 inches above the bottom of the
enclosure [17] (4 1/4 inches to 4 3/4 inches above the
top of the lower intake vent opening REF) [18] .
- Make sure that the back of the solid box baffle is
perpendicular to the bottom of the enclosure.
- Make sure that the back of the solid box baffle is either
against the top of the enclosure or against the angled
baffle [13] (depending on the vehicle design).
- Make sure that the solid box baffle is one inch or
less [19] from the coils [10] and condenser of the
refrigerator.
- Make sure that the solid box baffle is the full width
of the inside of the enclosure.
- If the design of the vehicle does not allow you to install a roof
exhaust vent, install an upper side-wall exhaust vent.
NOTE: The refrigerator is 23.7 in. min. to 24.0 in. max. from
the rear of the breaker to the rear of the condenser
[22] and 54.1 in. min. to 54.4 in. max. from the bottom
of the refrigerator to the bottom of the refrigerator
condenser [23] (See Art01678).
- Install the upper side-wall exhaust vent [24] (See
Art01679 and Art01680).
- Make sure the distance [25] from the bottom of the
enclosure to the top of the rough opening for the
upper exhaust vent is at least 62 inches.
- Align the upper exhaust vent horizontally above the
lower intake vent [9] of the refrigerator.
- To prevent stagnant hot air in the area above the
refrigerator, install an aluminum or galvanized steel
sheet baffle [13] between the top of the refrigerator
and the top of the upper exhaust vent.
- Make sure there is less than 1/4 inch clearance
between the baffle and the top of the
refrigerator [16] and that the baffle overlaps the
refrigerator 1 inch or less.
- Make sure that the baffle is against the wall of
the vehicle at the top of the upper exhaust vent
and 1/4 inch or less from the top of the opening
for the upper exhaust vent [15].
- Make sure the baffle is the full width of the
inside of the enclosure
- When using an upper side-wall exhaust vent:
- If the depth of the enclosure is more than 24 inches
and less than 26 inches [27], install a bent aluminum
or galvanized steel sheet baffle [26] to the rear of the
enclosure (See Art01679).
- Make sure that the bend of the baffle is the full width
of the inside of the enclosure.
- Make sure that the bend of the baffle is flush with
the bottom edge of the upper intake vent door
