FORWARD This manual provides the user with basic details for the installation and operation of the Oceanaire Air Boss spot cooler. It is recom- mended to read and fully understand the instructions outlined within this manual, before operating the AQUACOOLER unit.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Oceanaire AQUACOOLER is a portable water-cooled air condi- tioner designed for permanent or temporary spot cooling applica- tions. The entire air conditioning unit has been built in an attractive sheet metal cabinet, equipped with heavy-duty casters for mobility.
STANDARD FEATURES CABINET The OWC-Series cabinet is constructed of 18 gauge steel with a gray polyester powder coated finish that will compliment any decor. The entire cabinet is insulated with a sound- absorbing insulation for cool, quiet comfort. All units come equipped with swivel casters for portability and convenient set-up.
APPLICATIONS SPOT COOLER The AQUACOOLER can be used in an open environment to cool specific objects or "spots". Spot Cooling is a convenient and economical way to provide air conditioning where cooling the entire space is impractical. Cool air is discharged from the unit and is directed where it is needed. Nozzle kits can be used to improve direction of the cooling airflow.
SERVICE CORD All AQUACOOLER Series units are equipped with the standard ten foot long service cord with plug configurations and receptacle requirements as shown in this chart. OWC1211, OWC1811, OWC2412 and OWC3612 units come with LCDI (Leakage Current Detection & Interruption) devices that serve as a means of electrical protection. CAUTION—DO NOT USE THE LCDI AS AN ON/OFF SWITCH FOR THE UNIT All 3-phase models are equipped with locking plugs for added connection reliability.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS CAUTION: FOR MODEL OWC1211 AND OWC1811 AN EXTENSION CORD CAN BE USED PROVIDED IT IS RATED AT LEAST 15 AMPS @ 115 VOLTS WITH GROUNDING-TYPE ATTACHMENT PLUG AND GROUNDING TYPE CONNECTOR (LOAD FITTING) FOR MODELS OWC2412 and OWC3612 AN EXTENSION CORD CAN BE USED PROVIDED IT IS RATED AT LEAST 20 AMPS @ 250 VOLTS WITH GROUNDING-TYPE ATTACHMENT PLUG AND GROUNDING TYPE CONNECTOR (LOAD FITTING)

ACCESSORIES DISCHARGE AIR NOZZLE KIT ASSEMBLY (NK, 2NK) The optional discharge nozzle kits are used to direct the conditioned air to a specific tar- get area. By concentrating the airflow, the nozzles increase the air velocity towards production lines to cool personnel or equipment. In server rooms, the nozzles can be used to induce airflow through the rack to remove the hot air from the area of the equip- ment.

ACCESSORIES EVAPORATOR RETURN AIR PLENUM, DEP Evaporator return air plenums are available for installations where it is required to duct air to the inlet of the evaporator. The evaporator return air plenums allow the user to connect round duct (flexible or rigid) to the return air intake to reduce air noise and increase the number of options for solving difficult cooling problems.

ACCESSORIES Discharge Duct Adapter, DDA Discharge duct adapters are available for applications where ducted evaporator discharge is required. The adapters can be easily installed on the unit without fasteners, and be installed for either vertical or horizontal ducting. The standard discharge grille is removed and the DDA is attached in the grill opening.
