II.2.2
CLEARANCES
During installation it is important to bear in mind the following:
• Check the load-bearing capacity of the structures with respect to the
weight of the unit
• Avoid installation in closed spaces
• If there are walls, ensure proper distance from them for correct air
circulation in delivery and discharge
• Carefully observe the minimum recommended distances in the
installation of two or more units, in vertical or horizontal positions, in
areas subject to high winds
•
Avoid ducting of the fans as they are not suited to bear additional
static heads.
IMPORTANT!
For the exact dimensions of the units refer to the
technical data in the enclosures. The value A is
shown in the dimensional diagrams.
SPACE FOR VERTICAL INSTALLATION
Avoid pointing the unit in such a way that the air flow of the fans is the
opposite of prevailing winds in the place of installation.
In the case of installation on a raised platform maintain the distances
indicated in the following figure:
SPACE FOR HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
SECTION II: INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
LATERAL SPACES
The unit must be placed in such a way that installation and
maintenance operations can be performed easily.
It is advisable to maintain at least the measures indicated hereunder:
II.2.3
NOISE AND TRANSMITTED VIBRATION
REDUCTION
Un-soundproofed reflecting walls near the unit may increase the total
sound pressure level reading near the appliance by as much as 3 dB(A)
for every surface;
install suitable vibration-damping supports under the unit to avoid
transmitting vibrations to the building structure;
The connecting pipes must be rigidly supported by solid structures. If
the pipes are routed through walls or panels, insulate with elastic
sleeves. If there are any structural vibrations in the building (after the
unit has been installed and has started to run) which provoke such
strong resonance that noise is generated in other parts of the building,
consult a qualified acoustic technician for a complete analysis of the
problem.
