Air to Water Heat Pump — Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
Section 4: LocAtion & MoUntinG
Failure to comply with all of the guidelines IN
THE FOLLOWING could result in death, seri-
ous injury or substantial property damage.
The installation must comply with all applicable lo-
cal codes.
Prepare the unit
• Inspect the unit for shipping damage. DO NOT use if there is
a risk that the damage could affect unit operation.
• Make sure all required components are available.
• Install optional immersion heater, if used. See instructions
provided with the heater.
Location
• DO NOT locate where the unit could be sprayed by sprin-
klers.
• DO NOT locate near swimming pools, spas or any location
that could cause chlorine or other contaminant to enter the
unit.
• DO NOT locate where water run-off from adjacent structures
could impinge on the unit.
• Maintain the clearances shown in Figure 5.
• LOW AMBIENT conditions — Contact SpacePak Technical
Support to obtain low ambient adjustment instructions if cool-
ing operation below 55°F is required.
• CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS — Do not install the unit in
an area subject to sea air or other potential corrosive con-
taminants.
• INDOOR INSTALLATION — If the unit is installed inside a
building, the building must be equipped with air openings
sufficient to ensure free discharge of heated (or cooled) air
generated by the heat pump/chiller. All clearances must be
maintained to ensure free air flow into and out of the enclo-
sure. Make sure no other equipment located in the space will
be affected by the unit’s air flow.
Handling
• See Figure 4.
• Place padding at pressure points to prevent damage to the
enclosure.
• Use caution when handling. The unit is heavy and could
cause severe injury or damage if dropped or handled incor-
rectly.

Mounting pad
• The SpacePak heat pump/chiller must be mounted on a level
corrosion- and weather-resistant mounting surface, prefer-
ably concrete. The structural support must be suitable for the
operating weight of the unit and attached components, its
mounting pad, snow loading and any other expected loads.
• The mounting pad must not be attached directly to a struc-
ture where noise transmission would be objectionable.
• Vibration isolators supplied with the chiller may be installed
when desired to reduce transmitted vibration.
• The unit must be bolted securely to the pad. Where required
by local jurisdiction, the mounting must also be analyzed for
seismic loading capability.
• The mounting must ensure that there will be no debris ac-
cumulation which might block air flow through the enclosure
openings.
the lower edge of the lower fan opening must
be above the typical snow line, including allowance for
drifting
.
• There must be no accumulation of water that could reach the
bottom of the unit’s enclosure.
