AIR-CONDITIONERS 3 INSTALLATION OF THE COMPONENTS 3.1 - FUNCTION OF AN AIR-CONDITIONER During the cooling cycle, the refrigerant circuit takes heat from the ambient air and transfers it to the sea water. Whilst doing so, it will also dehumidify and filter the air. In the reverse-cycle mode the opposite takes place, and heat is removed from the sea water and transfered to the air in the cabin Typical one-outlet installation...

AIR-CONDITIONERS 3 INSTALLATION OF THE COMPONENTS 3.3 - Unit Location A.- The unit must be located in the area to be conditioned. Typical locations are under a setee or bunk. A Compact unit must never be located in an engine space. B.- The conditioned air must be ducted to one or more grills through ducts of suitable size, either insulated or non-insulated.
NEOPRENE Figure 1.8 3.5 - CONDENSATE DRAIN The Climma Compact unit will extract a significant quantity of moisture from the air, and this must be disposed of by means of a gravity condensate drain. This drain can either be to the bilge or to a sump with float-switch and pump.
AIR-CONDITIONERS 3 INSTALLATION OF THE COMPONENTS 3.6 - CONDENSATE DRAIN When the blower is operating, the area surrounding the Compact unit becomes a low pressure area. A trap in the drain (Fig. A) will prevent odours from being sucked up and entering the ducting system. Sump Figure 1.9 Check the efficiency...

AIR-CONDITIONERS 3 INSTALLATION OF THE COMPONENTS 3.11 - Duct Connections The collar on the blower discharge corresponds to the minimum size of duct allowable. Do not attempt to connect a duct of smaller diameter than the duct collar on the Compact unit. The blower can be rotated 90°...
AIR-CONDITIONERS 4 SEA WATER CIRCUIT NOTE: The restrictions here do not apply to DC or AC diaphragm pumps. 4.1 - SEA WATER PUMP The sea water pump must be of the correct size for the Compact unit. These can be mounted above the Most installations require a centrifugal pump, and close attention to waterline and share an inlet.
AIR-CONDITIONERS 4 SEA WATER CIRCUIT 4.4- SEA WATER CIRCUIT The water intake and discharge ports on the Compact unit are marked with arrows. Correct water flow direction is important. for efficient performance of the Compact unit. Connections may differ from those shown Min 2"...
AIR CONDITIONERS 5 ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT WARNING AVOID THE RISK OF THE ELECTROCUTION !!! Only qualified persons should attempt installation, troubleshooting, and repair. Ensure that power to the system is disconnected before removing covers to electrical boxes. IMPORTANT NOTE To avoid possible electrical shocks that may cause injury or death, the Compact unit must be properly connected to a safety ground, as follows: 1- Use a correctly sized 3-conductor electrical cable with ground wire section and isolation.
