ACCESSORIES DISCHARGE AIR NOZZLE KIT ASSEMBLY The optional discharge nozzle kits are used to direct the conditioned air to a specific target area. By concentrating the airflow, the nozzles increase the air velocity towards production lines to cool personnel and/or equipment. In server rooms, the nozzles can be used to direct the airflow through the rack to remove the hot air from the area of the equipment.

ACCESSORIES CONDENSER RETURN AIR PLENUM Condenser return air plenums are available for installations where it is required to duct air to the inlet of the condenser. The plenum easily fits into place on the back of the unit, and is provided with a flange for connecting 12-inch or 16-inch flexible ducting. A condenser return air plenum can substantially reduce air noise and allow the unit to operate without drawing condenser air from the conditioned space.

ACCESSORIES EVAPORATOR RETURN AIR PLENUM 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 ducts (flexible or rigid) to the return air intake to reduce air noise and increase the number of options for solving difficult cooling problems.
