Installation At Seaside; Seasonal Wind And Cautions In Winter - LG THERMA V Series Installation Manual

Installation at Seaside

1. Air conditioners should not be installed in areas where corrosive gases, such as acid or alkaline gas, are
produced.
2. Do not install the product where it could be exposed to sea breezes directly. It can result in corrosion on
the product. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins, could cause product malfunction
or inefficient performance.
3. If outdoor unit is installed close to the seaside, it should avoid direct exposure to the sea breezes.
Otherwise it needs additional anticorrosion treatment on the heat exchanger.
Selecting the location(Outdoor Unit)
1) If the outdoor unit is to be installed close to the seaside, direct exposure to the sea breezes should be
avoided. Install the outdoor unit on the opposite side of the direction of the sea breeze.

2) In case, to install the outdoor unit on the seaside, put up a windbreak not to be exposed to the sea wind.

3) Select a well-drained place.
Periodic ( more than once/a year ) clean the impurities settled on the heat exchanger by using water.

Seasonal wind and cautions in winter

• Sufficient measures are required in a frozen area or chilly climates to facilitate efficient operation of the product.
• Take preemptive measures in case there is a seasonal wind or snow in winter.
• Install a suction and discharge duct not to let in snow or rain.
• Install the outdoor unit such that it does not come in contact with snow directly. If snow piles up and freezes on the
air suction hole, the system may malfunction. If it is installed in a snowy area, attach the hood to the system.
• Install the outdoor unit at the installation console higher by 500 mm than the average snowfall (annual average
snowfall) if it is installed at the area with heavy snowfall.
• Where snow is accumulated on the upper part of the Outdoor Unit by more than 100 mm, always remove the snow
for efficient operation.
1. The height of H frame must be more than 2 times the snowfall and its width shall not exceed the width of the
product. (If width of the frame is wider than that of the product, snow may accumulate)
2. Don't install the suction hole and discharge hole of the Outdoor Unit facing the seasonal wind.
Installation of Outdoor Unit
Sea wind
• It should be strong enough like concrete to prevent
the sea wind from the sea.
• The height and width should be more than 150 % of
the outdoor unit.
• It should be kept more than 700 mm of space
between outdoor unit and the windbreak for easy.
air flow.
