Outdoor Unit Installation Space

Minimum Space Requirements
At concept stage one of the most common requirements,
especially in built up areas, is to establish that there is space to
fit the outdoor equipment. The 'de-centralized' nature of VRV
provides a great deal of flexibility however the multitude of service
space combinations in the engineering book still do not cover fully
the bespoke nature of project application. Therefore it is important
to have a grasp of minimum space requirements.
The 3 criteria to overcome are:
AIR STARVATION • SHORT CIRCUITING • SERVICE SPACE
There are two constants regardless of the application,
system type or series:
VRV ODU's require a minimum of
(or air side) of the unit
at the Rear
VRV ODU's require a minimum of
at the Front (or service side) of the unit
*Note: Local code may require a greater distance
