2.2 Indoor Units 
2.2.1 Placement considerations 
Placement of indoor units should take account of the following considerations: 
  Sufficient space for drain piping and for access during servicing and maintenance should be allowed. 
  To ensure a good cooling effect, short-circuit ventilation (where outlet air returns quickly to a unit’s air inlet) should be 
avoided. 
  To  prevent  excessive  noise  or  vibration  during  operation,  suspension  rods  or  other  weight-bearing  fixings  should 
typically be able to bear twice the unit’s weight. 
 
 
 
3 Outdoor Unit Ducting and Shielding 
3.1 Ducting Requirements 
Depending on the height of adjacent walls relative to the height of the units, ducting may be required to ensure proper air 
discharge. In the situation depicted in Figure 3-3.1, the vertical section of ducting should be at least H-h high.

3.2 Design Considerations 
Outdoor unit ducting design should take account of the following: 
  Each duct should contain no more than one bend. 
  Vibration isolation should be added to the connection between the unit and the ducting to avoid vibration/noise. 
  Installing  louvers  is  required  as  doing  for  safety,  they  should  be  installed  at  an  angle  no  greater  than  15°  to  the 
horizontal, to minimize the impact on airflow. 
   
  Before installing an indoor unit, check that the model to be installed is as specified in the construction drawings 
and confirm the correct orientation of the unit. 
  Ensure that units are installed at the correct height. 
  To allow smooth condensate drainage and to ensure unit stability (to prevent excessive noise or vibration), ensure 
that units are level to within 1° of the horizontal. If a unit is not level to within 1° of the horizontal, water leakage 
or abnormal vibration/noise may occur.
