GENERAL INFORMATION The OceanAire OWC is a portable water-cooled air conditioner designed for permanent or temporary spot cooling applications. The entire unit has been built in a premium sheet metal cabinet, equipped with heavy-duty casters for mobility. All OWC models come with a 10-foot power cord for electrical connection and added mobility in service.
STANDARD FEATURES CABINET The OWC-Series cabinet is constructed of 18 gauge steel with a gray polyester powder coated finish that will compliment any decor. The entire cabinet is insulated with sound- absorbing insulation for cool, quiet comfort. All units come equipped with swivel casters for portability and convenient set-up.
APPLICATIONS SPOT COOLER The OWC can be used in an open environment to cool specific objects or "spots". Spot Cooling is a convenient and economical way to provide air conditioning where cooling the entire space is impractical. Cool air is discharged from the unit and is directed where it is needed.
ELECTRICAL CONFIGURATION All OWC Series units are equipped with a standard 10-foot long service cord with plug configurations and receptacle requirements as shown in this chart. OWC1211, OWC1811, OWC2412 and OWC3612 units come with LCDI (Leakage Current Detection & Interruption) devices that serve as a means of electrical protection.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS CAUTION FOR MODELS OWC1211 AND OWC1811 AN EXTENSION CORD CAN BE USED PROVIDED IT IS RATED AT LEAST 15 AMPS @ 115 VOLTS WITH GROUNDING- TYPE ATTACHMENT PLUG AND GROUNDING TYPE CONNECTOR (LOAD FITTING) FOR MODELS OWC2412 and OWC3612 AN EXTENSION CORD CAN BE USED...

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 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 duct (flexible or rigid) to the return air intake to reduce air noise and increase the number of options for solving difficult cooling problems.

ACCESSORIES DISHARGE DUCT ADAPTER Discharge duct adapters are available for applications where ducted evaporator discharge is required. The adapters can be easily installed on the unit without fasteners, and be installed for either vertical or horizontal ducting. The standard discharge grille is removed and the DDA is attached in the grille opening.

ACCESSORIES HOSE KIT Hose kits are available in lengths of 10, 25, and 40 feet. Each hose kit allows for conven- ient installation of the OWC, while allowing for portability within the allowable space. NOTICE —When using these hoses in applications with water pressures exceed- ing 50 PSIG, a water pressure reducing valve must be installed in the water supply line prior to the hose kit;...
SPECIAL ORDER ITEMS In some applications, units can be manufactured with optional components for added performance and longevity. Below are a few of the OWC options that are available. Consult your distributor for pricing and availability. CUPRO-NICKEL CONDENSER When chemically treated water, salt water or brine, is used in the condenser coil, it is recommended that the OWC be equipped with a 90/10 Cupro-Nickel condenser coil.

Additionally, the controller can be removed from the unit and installed for remote operation when using an extended display cable. Also, with the addition of a remote sensor, the controller can operate away from the unit while sensing temperatures in another space or in ductwork, overriding the inside temperature sensing bulb on the bottom of the thermostat—...
FAN SPEED —The operator can select between AUTO or MANUAL fan speed control. Pressing the FAN SPEED button will switch speed from AUTO to MANUAL. In MANUAL mode, pressing the FAN SPEED button will change fan speed from low to high. In AUTO mode, the fan speed is controlled automatically.
WATER VALVE ADJUSTMENT Water Valve Adjustment Screw All OWC units come equipped with an automatic pressure regulated water valve which controls the condenser water flow rate. The water valve will open when the system is running, and will adjust the water flow rate based on the temperature of the supply water.
