Thermal Insulation
All Optimus™ units are available with optional factory
installed thermal insulation. If the unit is not factory
insulated, install insulation over the areas shaded in
Figure 18, p. 36. See Table 9 for types and quantities of
insulation required.
Notes:
• Liquid line filter, refrigerant charging valves, water
temperature sensors, drain and vent connections
when insulated must remain accessible for service.
• Use only water-base latex paint on factory-applied
insulation. Failure to do so may result in insulation
shrinkage.
• Units in environments with higher humidity or very
low leaving water temperature may require thicker
insulation
