As condensing temperature rises, evaporating temperature rises and cooling capacity drops. In order to achieve maximum
cooling capacity, the location selected for outdoor unit should fulfill the following requirements:
• Install the condensing (outdoor) unit in a way such that the hot air distributed by the outdoor condensing unit cannot be drawn
in again (as in the case of short circuit of hot discharge air). Allow sufficient space for maintenance around the unit.
• Ensure that there is no obstruction of air ow into or out of the unit. Remove obstacles which block air intake or
discharge.
• The location must be well ventilated, so that the unit can draw in and distribute plenty of air thus lowering the condensing
temperature.
• A place capable of bearing the weight of the outdoor unit and isolating noise and vibration.
• A place protected from the direct sunlight. Otherwise use an awning for protection, if necessary.
• The location must not be susceptible to dust or oil mist.
