Fig. 2.1 CUTOUT AND HOLE DIMENSIONS
•
The cooling unit produces cooling supplied into the cabinet, meanwhile it also
generates heat that must be exhausted outside the cabinet. So the cold-air
supply with return-air intake and hot-air exhaust with ambient-air side must be
separated and sealed. Foam tape gasket may be used to seal them. The
cooling unit must intake adequate fresh ambient-air to work properly. The
ambient-air intake and hot-air exhaust must not be short-circulated. A piece of
wood may be used to separate them.
•
Cut a rectangular inside opening at the rear of the cabinet with the 1/4”
clearance inwards to the width and height of the cooling unit. By not going
through, leave 1/2” lip inside at the wall to place the gaskets (see Fig. 2.1 &
2.2).
•
If top exhaust installation, cut another rectangular opening at the top of the
cabinet to the length and width of the top exhaust (see Fig.2.1 & 2.3).
•
Install 2 pieces of 1/4” ID wood thread inserts at the ceiling (see Fig.2.1 & 2.4).
•
Place the gaskets (1/2” foam tape) on the gasket lips (see Fig 2.5).
•
If top exhaust, place another gaskets along the top exhaust at the top of the
cooling unit (see Fig.2.6).
