Mechanical Installation
The following points discuss some aspects that are taken into consideration during the
mechanical installation process:
• Prior to installation, ensure that the installation preparations have been read and
implemented. Check if any changes are to be made to the plumbing, wiring, or
ventilation facility prior to mounting the equipment. Once the installation preparations
have been taken into consideration, then we move on to the next step in the installation
process where we need to setup the system.
• The LPC has an indoor as well as an outdoor unit. The Indoor unit comprises of all
components excluding the Condenser. The Condenser is the part of the Outdoor unit.
The indoor unit must be installed in the application room or a separate room as per the
protocols followed in the application laboratory. The outdoor unit must be installed
outdoors or on ventilation space on the ground or other floors as per the building
architecture.
• Industry-wide standards are followed for the selection, layout, and fixing of pipes.
• Several factors such as pressure drop, compressor oil return, noise reduction, and
vibration are considered during the design and installation process.
• The units shall be fixed by screws and mounting rails to avoid vibrations during the start-
up or operating processes.
