Oceanside Applications

oceanside applications
Use of a Windbreak to Shield from Sea Wind
Ocean winds may cause corrosion, particularly on the condenser and
evaporator fins, which, in turn could cause product malfunction or
inefficient performance.
• The unit should be installed in a soundproofed mechanical room.
• Avoid installing the outdoor unit where it would be directly exposed
to ocean winds.
• Install the outdoor unit on the side of the building opposite from
direct ocean winds.
• Select a location with good drainage.
• Periodically clean dust or salt particles off of the heat exchanger
with water.
• If the outdoor unit must be placed in a location where it would
be subjected to direct ocean winds, install a concrete windbreak
strong enough to block any winds.
• Windbreak should be more than 150% of the outdoor unit's height.
There must be 2ft and 3 1/2 inches clearance between the outdoor
unit and the windbreaker for purposes of air flow.

Use of a Building to Shield from Sea Wind
If a windbreak is not possible, a building or larger structure must
be used to shield the outdoor unit from direct exposure to the sea
wind. The unit should be placed on the side of the building directly
opposite to the direction of the wind as shown in Figure 2.
