4.4 Positioning the outdoor unit
Decide the installation location regarding the following condition and obtain the user’s approval. The location of the outdoor unit is
chosen so that neither the own living environment or adjoining properties are exposed to noise interference.
▪
The outdoor unit must not be placed on its side or upside down, as the compressor lubrication oil will run into the cooling circuit
and seriously damage the unit.
▪
Choose a location that is dry and sunny, but not exposed to direct sunlight or strong winds.
▪
Do not block any passageways or thoroughfares.
▪
Choose a location where the noise of the heat pump when running and the discharged air do not disturb any neighbours.
▪
Choose a position that enables the pipes and cables to be easily connected to the other hydraulic system.
▪
Install the outdoor unit on a flat, stable surface that can support its weight and does not generate any unnecessary noise and vibra-
tion.
▪
Position the outdoor unit so that the air flow directly stream towards the open area.
▪
Place the outdoor unit where there are no plants and animals because they may cause malfunction of outdoor unit.
▪
Maintain sufficient clearance around the outdoor unit, especially from a radio, computer, stereo system, etc.
▪
When installing the outdoor unit near seashore, make sure it is not directly exposed to sea breeze. If you can not find an adequate
place without direct sea breeze, make sure to apply anti-corrosion coating on the heat exchanger.
Install the outdoor unit in a place (such as near buildings etc.) where it can be prevented from sea breeze which can damage the
outdoor unit.
If you cannot avoid installing the outdoor unit by the seashore, construct a protection wall around to block the sea breeze.
▪
Protection wall should be constructed with a solid material such as concrete to block the sea breeze and the height and the width
of the wall should be 1.5 times larger than the size of the outdoor unit. Also, secure over 700mm between the protection wall and
the outdoor unit for exhausted air to ventilate.

2. Sea breeze
3. Outdoor unit
4. Protection wall
Install the outdoor unit in a place where water can drain smoothly.
▪
Make sure to clean the sea water and the dust on the outdoor unit heat exchanger and spread corrosion inhibitor on heat exchang-
er.(At least one time per one year.)
The device is, to advantage, placed in an environment with lush trees and shrubs with grass surface. Large hard asphalt surfaces and
stone or brick walls around the heat pump should be avoided since they effectively reflect the sound.
