Heatcraft Refrigeration Products II Manuel D’Utilisation

The most important consideration which must be taken into account when deciding upon the location of air-
cooled equipment is the provision for a supply of ambient air to the condenser, and removal of heated air from
the condensing unit or remote condenser area.  Where this essential requirement is not adhered to, it will
result in higher head pressures, which cause poor operation and potential failure of equipment.  Units must
not be located in the vicinity of steam, hot air or fume exhausts.  Corrosive atmospheres require custom
designed condensers.

Another consideration which must be taken is that the unit should be mounted away from noise sensitive
spaces and must have adequate support to avoid vibration and noise transmission into the building.  Units
should be mounted over corridors, utility areas, rest rooms and other auxiliary areas where high levels of
sound are not an important factor. Sound and structural consultants should be retained for recommendations.
