GENERAL
For installing air-conditioning systems, it is necessary to consider the following:
•
the technical spaces necessary for the machine and system
•
the place where the machine will be installed
•
the transport of thermal carrier fluids and relevant connections to the unit:
o
water
o
air
o
refrigerant (unit in more sections)
•
electrical
connections
If these aspects are not evaluated carefully, they can affect the performances and the working life of the unit.
FUNCTIONAL CLEARANCES
When placing the unit, please respect the functional clearances indicated in DIMENSIONS section.
The functional spaces need to be observed because of the following:
•
to guarantee the good operation of the unit
•
to allow the performance of all maintenance operations
•
to protect the authorized operators and exposed people
If more units are placed close to one another, the functional spaces must be doubled.
POSITIONING
The units are designed for the exterior installation in a fixed position and in areas which can be easily reached by
qualified and specialized personnel.
1. Install the unit raised from the ground, also considering the maximum level which can be reached in case of
snow.
2. Verify that the fixing/supporting points are level and suitable to support the weight of the unit (see the weight
and the weights distribution).
3. Put a rubber layer between the supporting plan and the unit to avoid noise and vibrations. It is recommended to
put the unit on specific anti-vibration devices (in this case, flexible joints are necessary on all the hydraulic/
aeraulic connections – the joints are not supplied by Clivet).
4. Anchor the unit to the ground; foresee windbreak barriers in case of places where there are strong prevalent
winds.
The choice of the location of the unit is of fundamental importance for correct operation; to avoid:
•
Obstacles that block the flow of air,
•
difficulty in air circulation
•
leaves or other objects that may block the exchanger coils
•
winds that contrast or excessively assist the air flow
•
phenomena of stratification or air re-circulation
•
nearby sources of heat
•
Positioning under the round level or near very high walls (evaluate with attention)
•
Installation in places where flooding can be verified.
The previous situations cause working anomalies or stop the machine and cause:
•
During SUMMER operation, increase of the condensation pressure with the decay of performances and possible
stops due to high pressure.
