Air-Cooled Condenser Installation
The most important consideration which must be considered when deciding upon the locations of air-cooled
equipment is the provision for a supply of ambient air to the condenser, and removal of heated air from the
condenser area. Where this essential requirement is not adhered to, it will result in higher head pressures,
which cause poor operation and possible eventual failure of equipment. Units must not be located in the
vicinity of steam, hot air, or fume exhausts.
WALLS OR OBSTRUCTIONS
The unit should be located so that air may circulate freely and not be re-circulated. For proper air flow and
access all sides of the units should be a minimum of “W” away from any wall or obstruction. It is preferred
that this distance be increased whenever possible. Care should be taken to see that ample room is left for
maintenance work through access doors and panels. Overhead obstructions are not permitted. When the
unit is in an area where it is enclosed by three walls, the unit must be installed as indicated for units in a pit.
MULTIPLE UNITS
For units placed side by side, the minimum distance between units is the width of the largest unit.
1. The installation platform requirement of air cool condenser (only for the model including air cooling
function)
2. Spacing requirement. As for the machine will exchange heat, the unit must be installed at open area with
good air flow. At the same time, the space distance of heat exchanger air inlet side can’t less than 1500mm,
air outlet space distance can’t less than 3000mm.
3. Outdoor installation platform Requirements. Height deviation for each meter is not more than 1mm. The
total deviation of the platform is not more than 5mm. Bearing standard: Each square meter is not less
than1ton.
4. The distance of copper connection between indoor unit Max 15m.
