• Avoid air recirculation conditions that could be caused by walls, screening, etc.
• Do not connect any ductwork to the coil inlet or fan outlet.
• Keep fan discharge away from building air intakes.
• The remote heat exchanger must be located in an area that will ensure airflow into
and out of the heat exchanger plus adequate service access clearance. Short
circuiting of the airflow or the intake of warmer air from another unit will seriously
degrade the performance of the air-cooled heat exchanger.
• Do not locate the heat exchanger in a location that is bordered by tall obstructions
(i.e. higher than 10 feet (3 meters)) on more than two sides. Do not install heat
exchangers in a pit. See
between units.
• Noise factors should be considered when locating an air-cooled heat exchanger.
Proximity to windows, walls and surrounding structures can cause objections by the
occupants. An acoustical expert should be consulted when noise is of a concern.
• Avoid installing heat exchangers near occupied spaces, above or outside utility
spaces and corridors whenever possible in order to reduce sound transmission
and/or vibration to occupied spaces.
• Water piping should be flexible enough to prevent transmission noise or vibration
from the unit. Isolation hangers should be used to prevent the transmission of
vibration on all suspended (from the building) water lines.
• Dual wide heat exchangers are field mounted side by side (see drawing 600-000-
881).
• Consult the Data Aire Service department before installing heat exchangers outside
of these conditions.
