3.2 INSTALLATION
The following recommendations are not intended to supplant or take precedence over relevant official regulations. AIRA
AL Evaporative Cooler units are designed essentially as a roof top or external ground mount unit.
3.2.1 Location
This equipment is not designed for long and complex air distribution ductwork and as such the unit should be located
as close as practicable to the points of air distribution. Depending on large volumes of 100% fresh air, care must
be taken to locate the unit clear of kitchen exhausts, heavy vehicle traffic, industrial fume discharge etc. that may
allow odour or fume laden air to be drawn into the unit. The prime requisites for the correct location of a unit is an
unrestricted supply of clean fresh air.
When selecting a location for the AL Evaporative Cooler unit the following shall be considered.
1.
Will the unit be suitably protected from the effects of corrosion and/or dust laden environments and any likelihood
of physical damage?
2.
Can qualified personal perform functional adjustments and maintenance on the unit?
3.
Does the chosen location prevent a hazard to the building or structure or to the contents of the building?
4.
How to minimise the risks associated with storage, use or release of hazardous or flammable substances in the
vicinity of the unit?
5. How to minimise risk of harm to persons?
6.
Will the noise of the unit operating affect persons nearby? Units should be located so that quiet areas such as
bedrooms, living rooms, meetings rooms etc. are not affected for both the premises that the unit is being installed
and adjoining properties.
7.
A structural engineer is to be engaged to prove that the supporting structure is suitable for a fully laden unit.
8. Ensure any skylights within 3m of the units have adequate fall protection installed.
