Outdoor Unit 8.4 Capacity Correction Factors for Frost Accumulation The heating capacity tables do not take account of the reduction in capacity when frost has accumulated or while the defrosting operation is in progress. If snow has accumulated against the outside surface of the outdoor unit heat exchanger heating capacity is reduced.
Outdoor Unit 10 Sound Levels 10.1 Overall Sound pressure level Model dB(A) SODH-400AI SODH-450AI SODH-560AI Notes: Sound pressure level is measured at a position 1m in front of the unit and 1.3m above the floor in a semi-anechoic chamber. During in-situ operation, sound pressure levels may be higher as a result of ambient noise.

Outdoor Unit 1 Preface to Part 3 1.1 Notes for Installers Boxes The information contained in this Engineering Data Book may primarily be of use during the system design stage of a SODH/SIDH Series project. Additional important information which may primarily be of use during field installation has been placed in boxes, such as the example below, titled “Notes for installers”.
Outdoor Unit 2 Unit Placement and Installation 2.1 Outdoor Units 2.1.1 Placement considerations Placement of outdoor units should take account of the following considerations: Air conditioners should not be exposed to direct radiation from a high-temperature heat source. Air conditioners should not be installed in positions where dust or dirt may affect heat exchangers. ...
Page 36
Outdoor Unit 2.1.3 Base structures Outdoor unit base structure design should take account of the following considerations: The base of the outdoor unit must use the solid concrete surface as the cement base or the steel beam frame base. ...
Page 37
Outdoor Unit 2.1.5 Hoisting Notes for installers Do not remove any packaging before hoisting. If units are not packaged or if the packaging is damaged, use suitable boards or packing material to protect the units. Hoist one unit at a time, using two ropes to ensure stability. ...
Page 38
Outdoor Unit 2.2 Indoor Units 2.2.1 Placement considerations Placement of indoor units should take account of the following considerations: Sufficient space for drain piping and for access during servicing and maintenance should be allowed. To ensure a good cooling/heating effect, short-circuit ventilation (where outlet air returns quickly to a unit’s air inlet) should be avoided.
Outdoor Unit 3 Outdoor Unit Ducting and Shielding 3.1 Ducting Requirements Figures 2-3.1 to Figures 2-3.20 show spacing requirements in different scenarios. If the installation space requirement cannot be met due to special installation conditions, the air duct should be installed. 3.2 Design Considerations Outdoor unit ducting design should take account of the following: ...

Outdoor Unit 4 Drain Piping 4.1 Design Considerations Drain piping design should take account of the following considerations: Indoor unit condensate drain piping needs to be of sufficient diameter to carry the volume of condensate produced at the indoor units and installed at a slope sufficient to allow drainage. Discharge as close as possible to the indoor units is usually preferable.
Page 43
Outdoor Unit Figure 3-6.5: Drain piping air vents Vent Air conditioner drain piping should be installed separately from waste, rainwater and other drain piping and should not come into direct contact with the ground. Drain piping diameter should be not less than the indoor units’ drain piping connection. ...

Outdoor Unit 4.6 Watertightness Test and Water Flow Test Once installation of a drainage piping system is complete, watertightness and water flow tests should be performed. Notes for installers Watertightness test Fill the piping with water and test for leakages over a 24-hour period. Water flow test (natural drainage test) ...
Page 46
Outdoor Unit 5.1.4 Installation of piping insulation With the exception of joint insulation, insulation should be applied to piping before fixing the piping in place. Insulation at joints in refrigerant piping should be applied after the gastightness test has been completed. ...
Outdoor Unit 6 Charging Refrigerant 6.1 Calculating Additional Refrigerant Charge The additional refrigerant charge required depends on the lengths and diameters of the outdoor and indoor liquid pipes. Table 3-8.1 shows the additional refrigerant charge required per meter of equivalent pipe length for different diameters of pipe.
Page 48
Outdoor Unit 6.2 Adding Refrigerant Notes for installers Caution Only charge refrigerant after performing a gastightness test and vacuum drying. Never charge more refrigerant than required as doing so can lead to liquid hammering. Only use refrigerant R410A - charging with an unsuitable substance may cause explosions or accidents. ...

Outdoor Unit 7 Installation in Areas of High Salinity 7.1 Caution Do not install outdoor units where they could be directly exposed to sea air. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins, could cause product malfunction or inefficient performance. Outdoor units installed in seaside locations should be placed such as to avoid direct exposure to the sea air and additional anticorrosion treatment options should be selected, otherwise the service life of the outdoor units will be seriously affected.
