4.2.2 Operational Issues
Related to Unit Location
IMPORTANT:
Locate the unit
in a manner that will not prevent, impair, or
compromise the performance of other equipment
installed in proximity to the unit. Maintain all
required minimum distances to gas and electric
meters, dryer vents, and exhaust and inlet
openings. In the absence of national codes or
manufacturers’ recommendations, local code
recommendations and requirements will take
precedence.
• Refrigerant piping and wiring should be properly
sized and kept as short as possible to avoid
capacity losses and increased operating costs.
• Locate the unit where water runoff will not create
a problem with the equipment. Position the unit
away from the drip edge of the roof whenever
possible. Units are weatherized, but can be
affected by the following:
• Water pouring into the unit from the junction
of rooflines, without protective guttering. Large
volumes of water entering the unit while in
operation can impact fan blade or motor life.
• Closely follow the clearance recommendations in
section 4.2.1.
