2 GENERAL RULES FOR INSTALLATION
The installation configuration is an important factor in improving the performance and reliability of the air con-
ditioner. There are different ways to place the devices, here we give you some important recommendations.

1 Ducts
CAUTION: The ducts used are the same diameter as the connections of units. The junction between the diffe-
rent lengths must be watertight. The total length of the circuit should not exceed 6 meters per circuit (return
and supply). For longer length, please contact us.
Always use the least possible sheath. In general, think that every air duct 3m isolated changes the tempera-
ture inside the pipe by 5 ° C.
The sheaths result in a loss that's why we must always put straight, Fig.1. In case of deviation, avoiding signifi-
cant bends (bends> 45 °), Fig.2, prefer them large curves, fig.3.
Place the air distribution duct cooled as close to the ceiling, the cold air will descend slowly to the ground and
will be returned to the air conditioner through the air duct placed at the lowest, Fig.1.

2 Effect of the sun
The heating, due to solar effect reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner, heat builds up in the ducts and in
the tents it's greenhouse effect. We recommend installing a sunshade to cover the air conditioning, ducts and
the tent. It also becomes more effective if using panels/insulated coatings in the tent.
