Installation
Manual applies to standard unit configurations only.
2.1
Location of Dehumidifier
Desert Aire TotalAire™ dehumidifiers are configured to allow single-side access. This means
you can make your service connections and perform routine maintenance when you must install
one side of the dehumidifier close to a wall or other restriction. The “service side” is determined
when the order is placed at the factory and cannot be changed in the field. It is recommended
that clearance be provided on all sides to allow for ease of serviceability in the event large
components require replacement. Aura™ and VerticalAire™ units may require service access
from multiple sides. Refer to the general arrangement drawing for further details.
Allow a minimum of 36 inches of clearance around the service side of the dehumidifier for piping,
electrical connections, and service access. The non-access side of the unit should contain 12
inches of clearance for large component removal. A minimum one unit width clearance shall be
maintained in all directions of outside air intake hood on outdoor units to allow for un-obstructed
airflow into the unit. For packaged units, ensure a minimum of one unit width of clearance is
maintained to allow for proper airflow through the condensing section. If three or more walls
surround the unit consult the factory for proper unit location to allow for adequate airflow through
the condenser section.
Install the unit on a sturdy, level mounting base or platform that will prevent vibration and sound
transmission. Never install the dehumidifier on a wooden or metal platform without consulting
the design engineer for spring isolation requirements and sound control materials. Do not install
the unit near occupied rooms such as offices or guestrooms. Do not attempt to conserve
installation space by fabricating restrictive ductwork with abrupt bends. You may reduce the
operating efficiency and the moisture removal capacity of the dehumidifier. See section 5.2 for
detailed duct installation instructions.
Units located in unconditioned spaces may form condensation on the exterior of the cabinet.
Precautions should be taken for indoor units located within unconditioned spaces to prevent
damage resulting from condensation.
Do not install an indoor-rated dehumidifier in an outdoor or a wet environment.
If you must install a dehumidifier outside you must use an outdoor-rated dehumidifier. Desert
Aire seals and weatherproofs outdoor dehumidifiers to help prevent water infiltration. You can
determine whether your dehumidifier is outdoor-rated by inspecting the unit rating plate.
See section 5.6 for details.
