Section 1: Chiller Mounting

Care must be taken to locate the air-cooled chiller at the proper place. Ensure sufficient
clearance around the unit to allow proper air flow and to facilitate access for maintenance.
Location of the units must also prevent short-circuiting of the discharge air. Do not block any air
passage in and out of the units.
Please refer to the corresponding Technical Manual for further information.

The chiller unit must be placed on a firm surface, e.g. concrete flooring, slab or plinth. Due
to space consideration, the chiller may be mounted onto a steel bracket which is secured to
a firm surface, e.g. brick wall, concrete wall or a steel structure.
