INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on choosing a new Braemar cooler. Your cooler is built from the highest
quality materials and engineered to provide many years of economical, trouble free cooling.
Please take a few minutes to read these instructions so you have a full understanding of
how to operate your cooler. Your installer should demonstrate the features and procedures
set out in these instructions. The installer should also provide you with a Model and Serial
Number which can be filled out in the section on the inside of the front cover.
Keep these instructions in a safe place.
All BRAEMAR air conditioners are operationally tested at the factory. Subject to normal
handling in storage and transit, correct installation and operation, they will provide years of
economical cooling with the minimum of service and maintenance. Braemar air conditioners
are designed for a range of installations and are readily adaptable to the following
applications.
a. for connection to multiple outlet duct system
b. for connection to a duct system for central air plenum diffusion.
Installation Recommendations and Procedures.
To ensure only fresh air flows through the filter pads, locate the cooler a minimum distance
away from;
a. Solid fuel type chimneys or flues - 3 metres
b. Gas Heater flues - 1.5 metres
c. Sewer or breather vent pipes - 5 metres
Remember to check your local building code for the minimum distances in your area.
Position the unit to allow access to the reservoir for plumbing fixtures and servicing.
Thoroughly seal all roof penetrations, this will ensure storm water cannot enter the building
as a result of the installation.
Effective Cooling Requirements.
To provide efficient cooling or ventilation your air conditioner must be operated with s ufficient
exhaust openings in the form of doors, windows, or other vents.
One square metre of open area is the minimum requirement for every 3000 cubic metres per
hour of air delivery. ( ie. A 6000 cubic metres per hr. air conditioner requires a minimum of 2
square metres of open exhaust areas ).
For optimum cooling performance, windows opposite the prevailing wind conditions should
be opened. The cool filtered air entering the house will flow toward the exhaust openings.
Doors and windows should be set according to the airflow pattern desired.
Air should never be re-circulated back through the air conditioner.
When the design of the building or prevailing winds prevent effective airflow, consideration
must be given to the use of some form of exhaust/extraction device.
