2.1.2 Enclosed Mounting
Mounting the PREDATAIR60 in an enclosure (Figure 3) will limit
the access to ambient air, restrict the escape of hot air from
around the unit and have an adverse effect on cooling. Make sure
that adequate ventilation is provided so the cooling system will
function properly.

It is not possible to make absolute recommendations regarding
ventilation because of the widely differing circumstances that are
possible. Duty cycle, ambient temperature and enclosure shape
are some of the important variables.
Significant ventilation and additional cooling will be
required if the PREDATAIR60 is mounted in the
same enclosure as the hydraulic oil reservoir. The
heat generated during operation will continue to
heat the hydraulic oil, even with fresh, ambient air
entering the cooler
Ideal ventilation will provide good airflow through the unit with no
restrictions (Figure 4). Cool ambient air ducted to the cooler and
exhaust fan are recommended.
