2.5 Equipment Installation Room Requirements
For best performance install the unit in thermally separated racks and install blanking panels in unoccupied
U spaces to avoid hot air recirculation. Hot Air recirculation could de-stabilize the temperature gradient in
front of the IT equipment.
NOTES:
• Avoid locating the indoor unit in concave or narrow areas which can affect the airflow. It is
prohibited to use the cooling system in an outdoor environment.
2.6 Environment
Following are the requirements that need to be observed from the environment point of view for site
preparation of the unit:
• Keep the unit in a place far away from flame or any heat source.
• Direct sunshine is detrimental to the system and therefore, the system needs to be placed at a
location where it is not directly affected by sunlight.
• Emission of erosive gases and organic solvents should not be near the unit.
2.6.1 Operating Environment
The operating environment requirements for the unit are specified in Table 2-5:
Table 2-5 Operating environment
<1000 m (3,280 ft.). For every 1000 m (3,280 ft.) increase in elevation, the evaporation
temperature drops by 0.5 °C (0.9 °F), and the net cooling capacity drops by 7%.
2.6.2 Storage Environment
The storage environment requirements for the unit are specified in Table 2-6.
Table 2-6 Storage environment
The total shipment and storage time should not exceed 6 months. Otherwise,
the performance needs to be re-calibrated
