1. Locate the return air inlet 8 to 15 ft. (2.5 to 4.5 m) above the floor. Arrange for suitable air distribution.
Arrange to prevent accidental blockage.
2. Where an elbow is required, use acoustic insulation up to the elbow to eliminate air movement noise.
(Also see the guidelines in Standard Practice for Ducts.)
3. Always install flexible duct connections at the unit.
4. Linear diffusers must cover entire width of window.
5. Blanket entire window with supply air.
6. Skylights are not recommended since condensation on skylights is difficult to control.
7. A vapor barrier in all walls and ceilings is necessary. Dehumidification will not prevent the
condensation of liquid water inside cold walls.
8. Direct air at glass surfaces from close range for glass mounted high on walls.
9. Do not direct air over pool surface.
10. Temporarily cover return grille(s) with paper or plastic to prevent entry of construction dusts.
11. See other requirements elsewhere in this section.
