The basic principle behind an air conditioner is the
transfer of heat from one place to another. In an air-
cooled air conditioner, heat is removed from the inside
air and transferred to the outside air. The efficiency of
the system operation depends on both outside air and
inside air temperatures.
When cooling, the air conditioner will operate most
efficiently in outside air temperatures below 95 °F
(35 °C). At higher outside air temperatures, the unit will
operate but at a reduced capacity. A high-pressure shut
down may occur at outside ambient air temperatures
near 130 °F (54 °C).
The Dometic ASCDU15HV 1161 is a direct-expansion
air-cooled air conditioning system designed for use
in air-cooled applications. It is a self-contained pre-
charged unit. A complete system requires the installation
of controls and ducting. This system is designed for
use with the Q3 control. The Q3 control is a micro-
controller-based unit designed for use with direct
expansion (DX) air conditioning systems. Filling of the
system with refrigerant is not required, as this system
comes pre-charged from the factory.
