KWIKOOL KPO PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONERS
8
The KPO12-ton & 25-ton comes without power cable and has four male cam lock connectors ready to
receive the corresponding female cam locks.
Female cam locks, or complete power cord line sets, can be bought separately with the proper cable
size attached from the factory in various lengths.
D INSTALL CONDENSATE LINE
The KPO series come equipped with a high lift condensate pump.
It is important to connect the condensate line prior to connecting the electrical power, as the con-
densate pump is live when the power is engaged. Collected water in the pump’s reservoir could be
ejected when powered up.
KPO-5 and 12-ton models, the connection is a ¼-inch outer diameter barbed fitting located on the
left side as the operator faces the control just below the handle.
On 25-ton models, the connection is a ¼-inch outer-diameter barbed fitting located on the left side
of the unit while facing the control recessed in the center column.
E INSTALL CONDITIONED AIR SUPPLY AND RETURN FLEX DUCT.
1. The supply air works best directed to equipment inlets or directly on the area to be conditioned.
2. The KPO series requires ducts to direct the cooling or heating into the conditioned space. This is
done with 12” duct on KPO5 & KPO12 and 20” duct on KPO25.
3. As the operator faces the unit opposite to the control end, the air supply is on the right side on
KPO5 and KPO12 models. On KPO25 systems, the air supplies are located on a 20” flange on
each side of the system.
4. Clamp supply ducting onto the flange(s) and route the duct to the desired location.
5. Install Conditioned Air Return Flex Duct.
6. The KPO portable works best when the return air duct is close to the area of highest load. This
placement allows the unit to return the load directly to the evaporator and not to linger in the condi-
tioned space.
7. This is also done with 12” duct on KPO5 and KPO12 and 20” duct on KPO25.
8. As the operator faces the unit opposite the control end, the return is on the left side on KPO5 and
KPO12. The return is two 20” flanges in the center panel on KPO25.
9. Clamp return ducting onto the flange(s) and route the duct to the desired location.
CAUTION
The return air duct is pulling in air and can collapse while operat-
ing. Avoid this condition by pulling all the slack out of the duct and
anchoring it to a fixed object. Duct collapse is the number one
cause of evaporator coil freeze or low performance.
