the aperture opening rate of shutters must be at least 80%, and the angle between the shutters 
and the horizontal plane should be less than 20°. Requirements for installing exhaust air duct are 
as follows: 
i. Basic requirement for connecting an ODU to static pressure ventilating duct 
When an ODU needs to be connected to the static pressure ventilating duct, the ventilating duct 
must be reasonably designed. The pressure loss caused by the ventilating duct must be calculated. In 
addition, a proper type of ventilating duct is necessary. To connect he static pressure ventilating duct to 
the ODU, three basic parts are required: (1) ODU; (2) canvas; and (3) steel-plate ventilating duct. The 
ODU must be interconnected with the ventilating duct through canvas to prevent abnormal vibration and 
noise generated by the steel-plate ventilating duct. The joint part must be tightly sealed with tin foil to 
avoid air leakage.   
ii. Preparations for connecting an ODU to static pressure ventilating duct 
a) The ODU is installed properly based on the unit installation requirement.   
b) The steel-plate ventilating duct is designed based on the unit and engineering requirement, and 
is installed properly according to the engineering standards.   
c) Based on the unit dimensions and the size of steel-plate ventilating duct, prepare materials such 
as canvas casing, tin foil, steel bar and tapping screw, as well as tools such as hand-operated 
electric drill, air screw driver and screwdriver.   
iii. Basic operation of connecting an ODU to static pressure ventilating duct 
Two methods are available to connect an ODU to static pressure ventilating duct. 
Method 1: 
a) Install the ODU (2) and steel-plate ventilating duct (1). Use an air screw driver or screwdriver to 
unfasten the tapping screws that fixing the top case component (3), and then remove the top 
case component. Take out the grille from the top of the top case component and leave the top 
case.   
b) Put the canvas casing inside out (4). Cover one end of the canvas casing over the unit downward 
until the canvas end face is aligned with the unit or a bit higher than the top of the unit. Then, put 
the top case back (3) and tightly press the canvas casing (4). Use tapping screws to fix the top 
case onto the unit (3).   
c) Pull up the canvas casing reversely (4) and use the steel bar (5) to press the canvas casing 
tightly onto the counter flange of the steel-plate ventilating duct (1). Use a hand-operated electric 
drill to drill holes and fasten the parts by using tapping screws.
