MOUNTING THE CONDENSING UNIT
MOUNTING
CAUTION: UNIT MUST BE MOUNTED HORIZONTALLY, BASE DOWN.
Handle the condensing unit carefully. Do not pick it up by the
tubing. The cooling fins on the condenser (the radiator-like
object) are very thin for maximum efficiency and bend easily. If
bent, they should be straightened using the flat blade of a
screwdriver or “combed” (using a “fin comb” obtainable at a
refrigeration supply house).
Use four (owner-supplied) fasteners to mount the unit on a
suitable, sturdy HORIZONTAL platform. Use 1/4” diameter wood
screws, self-tapping screws or machine screws and nuts,
depending on the type of mounting platform. There are mounting
holes in each of the four corners of the condensing unit base for
this purpose.
Bulkhead Mounting Bracket
If this optional part was ordered, it must be
bolted through
the
bulkhead selected, not
screwed
to it. Use 1/4” or 5/16”
diameter bolts with large flat washer or backup plate on other
side. The system is supplied with 4 oversized flat washers. These
must be used on the wood or fiberglass bulkhead side—to
distribute the bolt loading to the bracket properly.
NOTE:
The bracket may seem too light and flexible before it is
mounted. Once bolted securely to the bulkhead, then use
supplied bolts to secure the condensing unit base, it becomes
stabilized and very rigid.
PLANNING THE
EVAPORATOR INSTALLATION
EVAPORATOR LOCATION CHOICES
Vertical Applications
Locate the evaporator vertically, as high as possible on any side-
wall in the icebox. Template, standoffs (1”) and mounting screws
(1-3/4”) are supplied.
Allow sufficient space for access to the freezer interior, insertion
and removal of the VertiCube™ ice trays and periodic cleaning.
OPTIONAL BOX MODIFICATIONS AND COMBINATIONS
Freezer/Refrigerators—up to 9 cubic feet total:
In many applications, the Adler/Barbour system has substantial
surplus capacity beyond that needed for a refrigerator-only.
Therefore, it is often practical to partition the box into two
sections if a larger freezer capacity than provided by the
evaporator unit itself is desired. The amount of volume allotted to
each section will depend on the individual needs and is subject
to the system’s capacity.
A large size evaporator system (VD-152 or VD-153) is best.
The small size evaporator systems (VD-150 or VD-151) will
generally work only if the total box volume is under 6 cubic
feet.
