SECTION 3 PLANNING THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR EVAPORATOR
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, it is important to follow these instructions when installing your
equipment.
• The installation of the power supply must be done by a properly qualified contractor. The work must be
carried out in accordance with the local regulations in effect.
• If you have to work in existing walls and ceilings, be careful not to damage electrical conduits or other utilities
that may be present.
• Your FUSION X

evaporator must be installed on a horizontal and perfectly stable surface.

LOCATING YOUR EVAPORATOR
3.1.1
Determining the location of the evaporator
It is essential to plan for the installation of your new evaporator before you receive it. To help you, Table 1:
Dimensions of evaporators, chimneys and vents by model shows you the dimensions to take into consideration.
With these dimensions, you will be able to organize the installation and determine the conditions below.
• IMPORTANT | The space between the evaporator and the walls must allow for traffic as well as the safe
operation of the equipment. This space must be more than 24 in. (60.96 cm) from each wall.
• There must be enough space on the draw off side to work safely.
• Determine the exact location of the evaporator in the building.
• Plan the installation of the concentrate supply lines.
• Plan the installation of the power supply.
• Determine where the evaporator chimney will pass through the ceiling and/or roof.
- Table 1 shows the dimensions needed in the ceiling and/or roof to accommodate the chimney.
- It is recommended that the evaporator's chimney exhaust be centred between two roof trusses.
• Determine where the evaporator vents will pass through the ceiling and/or roof.
- Table 1 shows the dimensions of the ceiling and/or roof for the vent openings.
3.1.2
Determining the chimney length
Below you will find information on how to determine the minimum chimney length of your evaporator.
3.1.2.1
Listed chimney
From the location where the chimney will exit the roof, within a radius of 10 ft. (3.05 m), identify the highest
obstacle. This may, for example, be the roof gable.
Complete TABLE 2: Grid for calculating the minimum chimney height, with the following data.
a. Measure the height from the chimney exhaust location on the roof to the top of the obstacle (measurement a).
b. Measure the height from the floor to the location of the chimney exhaust on the roof (measurement b).
c. Add the heights measured in a and b. The result is the minimum height of the LWS listed chimney that you
must install.
