CGAD-SVN02C-EN12
Providing Vertical Clearance
The vertical discharge of air from the
condenser should be unobstructed.
Though it is difficult to foresee the level of
hot air short circuiting, a unit installed as
shown above (first, to the right) would have
its capacity and efficiency significantly
reduced. The performance data is based
on the free discharge of air.
Providing Side Clearance
The entrance of the condenser coil should
not be obstructed. A unit installed closer
than the minimum distance
recommended for a wall or other vertical
elevation can undergo a combination of
lack of circulation of free air and warm air
recirculation, which would result in the
reduction of the unit's capacity and
efficiency. The recommended side
clearances are described in the section on
dimensional data. These are estimates
and should be reviewed with Trane's
engineer assigned to the site.
Providing enough Clearance between the
Equipment
The units should be separated one from
the other by a distance that is enough to
prevent short circuiting of hot air or lack of
circulation of free air through the coil. The
CGAD liquid chillers with air condensation
have one of the smallest clearances
recommended for equipment of its
category on the market. Check with Trane's
engineer assigned to your site for
applications dealing with tight clearances
and restricted air flows.
Installation in a Place Surrounded by
Walls
When the unit is installed in a place closed
in or with a small depression, the height of
the fans cannot be lower than the top of the
closed-in area or depression. If they are
lower, the installation of duct work at the top
of the unit should be considered. The
installation of duct work on individual fans,
however, is not recommended. These
applications should always be reviewed by
Trane's engineer assigned to the site.
