INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HERON Q
The HERON Q is suitable for installation in most caravans & motorhomes.
Installation in commercial and industrial vehicles and equipment should be
referred to AIRCOMMAND AUSTRALIA or agent for assessment of suitability.
The Heron System must be installed in accordance with National wiring
regulations.
The capacity of the air-conditioner to adequately cool or heat a van is dependent
on:
•
the size of the van or vehicle.
•
the thickness and quality of thermal insulation.
•
the expected outside or ambient conditions.
The HERON Q is recommended for vans up to 7.0 meters overall, but assumes
that all walls and ceilings are insulated with a
minimum of 25mm
of insulation
wool or foam. The Heron Q may be used in vans up to 9 metres provided the
insulation is a minimum 38mm thick and all windows are double insulated.
Windows should all have shades, or curtains as a minimum. If the van is to be
used mainly in extreme conditions (40°C plus) then be conservative. i.e. Ensure
the best insulation is installed, consider double glazed windows, and size the unit
down to 6m.
