•
Change the units per row or La, and rearrange
•
Increase the height of pads or catwalks Return to paragraph (5) -[1]

Change from pads to catwalk mounts
[3] Providing area for air inflow
Procedure:
1) Calculate necessary inflow area Sr
Obtain the necessary air inflow area Sr (m
2
) to outdoor units in a combined installation from
the following formula.
(Sr is the minimum area necessary to avoid degrading system performance.)
Sr= (U
S1
×N
T1
)
where Sr = necessary inflow area (m
2
)
U
S1
= necessary inflow area per outdoor unit (m
2
) (see table below)
N
T1
= total number of outdoor units installed
Note: When an air exhaust duct is used, take steps to prevent engine exhaust gas from entering the
heat exchanger, such as extending the exhaust pipe to the same height as the air exhaust duct.
