  • Page 9: How It Works

    3.2 How It Works Your self-contained air conditioner consists of four main components and a refrigerant gas circulating through the system. The blower draws warm cabin air across the fins on the evaporator where the heat from the air is transferred to the refrigerant in the evaporator coil. As the refrigerant evaporated from a liquid into a gas, it absorbs the heat from the cabin air.

    4 Installation 4.1 Unpacking and Inspection When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked according to the packing list to ensure all cartons have been received. Move units in the normal "up" orientation as indicated by the arrows on each carton. Examine cartons for shipping damage, removing the units from the cartons if necessary.

    4.6 Blower Assembly You can achieve multi-directional supply air discharge from a single unit by rotating the blower to the desired position. It is ideal for tight installations as 180° of rotation is available with which to position the blower. Its advanced design allows the blower to be easily removed for rotating or servicing by removing 4 screws.
