SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR EXTREME
WEATHER CONDITIONS
If the unit is exposed to heavy wind:
Install unit so that air outlet fan is at a
90° angle to the direction of the wind.
If needed, build a barrier in front of the
unit to protect it from extremely heavy winds.
If the unit is frequently exposed to heavy rain or
snow: Build a shelter above the unit to protect it
from the rain or snow. Be careful not to obstruct
air flow around the unit. If the unit is frequently
exposed to salty air (seaside air): Use specifically
approved anti-corrosion coating sprays onto the
heat exchanger surface in order to resist corrosion.
