GENERAL INFORMATION The OceanAire CAC is a portable air-cooled spot cooler designed for permanent or temporary spot cooling. The entire air conditioning unit has been built in a premium sheet metal cabinet, equipped with heavy-duty casters for mobility. The CAC can be operated as a stand-alone spot cooler, or can be permanently installed in a server rack, or above a drop ceiling.

STANDARD FEATURES CABINET The CAC Series spot cooler has a cabinet that is constructed of 18 gauge steel with a polyester powder coated finish. The matte black finish compliments any surrounding space, and the cabinet is lined with sound-absorbing insulation for cool, quiet comfort. The CAC comes equipped with handles and premium swivel casters for portability and convenient set-up.
APPLICATIONS SPOT COOLER The CAC 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 PORTABLE CONFIGURATION The CAC is equipped with a 10-foot power cord for ease of movement and portability. The cord is to be plugged into a 15 Amp receptacle. A dedicated circuit is required. MODEL PLUG CONFIGURATION RECEPTACLE 15A-125 VOLT NEMA-5-15R NEMA 5-15P SERVICE CORD...
CONDENSATE The CAC has a 2-gallon polyethylene tank for collecting condensate. The tank is located in the lower, front section of the unit. When the high water is reached, a cut-out switch will AUTOMATICALLY cycle off the compressor/condenser fan. The evaporator fan will continue to run and circulate the air.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS RECEIVING—INSPECTION Upon receiving your CAC unit, inspect the packaging for any damage. All units are shipped on a skid, and packaged in a triple-wall carton for added protection. BEFORE INSTALLING Check the unit for any damage. All OceanAire products are thoroughly inspected at the factory and carefully packaged.
INSTALLATION—HANGING APPLICATION The CAC may be suspended above a space, or installed INSTALL (4) 5/16-18 above a drop ceiling. The unit can be hung from a THREADED RODS INTO building’s structural beam by one of three means: TOP PANEL OF UNIT ...
INSTALLATION—PERMANENTLY CONNECTED The CAC power cord can be removed and permanently connected to a power source. Once the CAC is installed and secured for a stationary installation, the unit can be permanently wired. 1. Remove the left side panel and locate the power cord/strain relief at the rear of the unit. 2.
SK-1 INSTALLATION—STACKING KIT Two or three Cool Cube units are needed when: REDUNDANCY IS NEEDED COOLING LARGE AREAS HIGH HEAT LOADS and only a small amount of floor space is available. The CAC can be stacked on top of each other to produce a capacity of 24,000 or 36,000 BTU/H, while maintaining the same foot print.
RCK-1 INSTALLATION—RACK MOUNTING KIT The 19-Inch Rack Kit allows for the Cool Cube to be installed into any EIA-310-D, 4-Post or 2-Post rack enclosure. The kit includes: (2) heavy duty rails, (4) side mounting brackets, and a rear mounting rail. The rails have a vibration dampening foam layer secured to the top for noise reduction.
CONDENSER ACCESSORIES DISCHARGE CEILING CEILING PANEL DUCT KIT, PANEL CK-8 A ceiling panel kit is available for discharging the condenser air above a drop ceiling. The ceiling panel duct kits are furnished with an 8-inch white vinyl coated flexible duct that allows for convenient installation.

ACCESSORIES CONDENSATE PUMP KIT , CPC-1 The condensate pump provides for the automatic removal of condensate water during the cooling pro- cess. The pump is capable of pumping against a 20 foot height, allowing for the routing of the drain line above the drop-ceiling to a nearby drain.

ACCESSORIES DISCHARGE AIR NOZZLE KIT ASSEMBLY, CNK-1 The optional discharge nozzle kits are used to direct the conditioned air to a specific target area. By concen- trating the airflow, the nozzles increase the air velocity towards production lines to cool personnel and/or equipment.
ACCESSORIES EVAPORATOR RETURN AIR PLENUM, CEP-6 An evaporator return air plenum is available for installations where it is required to duct air to the inlet of the evaporator. The return air plenum allows the user to connect round duct (flexible or rigid) to the return air intake and reduce air noise, while increasing the number of options for solving difficult cooling problems.
DELUXE ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER The CAC controller is equipped with many features for a more precise level of cooling and operation. Additionally, the controller can be removed from the unit and installed for remote operation, if needed (accessory parts may be required). POWER button OCEANAIRE DELUXE ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER...
