Selection and installationSelection and installation of your portable air conditionerTo select which type of temporary air conditioner you must first consider thecapacity of the unit and the possible alternatives to remove the condenserheat.A room without outside walls or windows often means that a standard PAC(split) unit cannot be used. If an exhaust tube cannot be vented into a ceilingvoid or out of the room the only alternative may be a water-cooled PAC unit.Again, if it is not possible to position a heat exchanger within 30m of the roomunit other alternatives such as a chillier, evaporative coolers or cooling fansmay need to be considered.Before you select your Andrews Sykes portable air conditioner we suggest thefollowing issues should be considered.■■■■■■■■The indoor unit (evaporator) needs to be positioned within 1.5 metres of a13 amp 230 volt socket and located in a manner to avoid any obstruction tothe airflow.If you are to use a PAC type unit the heat exchanger (condenser) will need tobe positioned outside of the building or in a very well ventilated area that canwithstand the heat transferred from the room being cooled. Condensation isdischarged from the room unit to the heat exchanger where it is allowed to drainto the outside of the building. If the heat exchanger is placed within the buildinga separate means of discharging the condensation needs to be provided.When using a PAC unit it is always advisable to position the heat exchangeraway from direct sunlight or any position where its operation is likely to causedisruption. The heat exchanger can only be positioned within the distancespecified by PAC line length. Always aim to keep the PAC line length to aminimum.Always ensure that the electrical supply to the unit is adequate and that theoperation of the unit will not cause any problems to other sensitive electronicequipment.or Call Us Free 0800 211 61115
