4.0 INSTALLATION OF REMOTE HEAT EXCHANGER

Air cooled condensers and ﬂ uid coolers have individual Selection Guide/Operation and Maintenance

manuals which should be referred to for more complete details.

4.1 Rigging

Secondary heat exchangers matched with evaporators of this size are typically remote, outdoor

type. The heat exchanger should be moved to its (typically rooftop) mounting location using a crane

or fork lift. Each fan section has heavy, steel leg supports with lifting holes at the top.

Do not lift with a choke sling around the unit. Spreader bars are recommended for lifting multiple

fan units. Under no circumstances should the coil headers or piping be used for lifting the unit.

Ideally, the unit should be kept in its shipping crate until it is ready to be set in place.

4.2 Leg Assembly

The legs must be unbolted from their collapsed shipping position and extended prior to placing

the unit on its pad. Each leg extends down approximately 18” and reattaches using the same bolts.

Note: Failure to extend the legs will result in poor air distribution over the cooling coil resulting in

signiﬁ cant capacity reduction.

NOTE:

Failure to extend the legs will result in poor air distribution over the cooling coil resulting

in signiﬁ cant capacity reduction. DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE COMPRESSOR(S) DUE TO

OVERHEATING IS NOT COVERED BY DATA AIRE’S WARRANTY.

Concrete pads are often used to provide support for the heat exchanger. Bolt holes in the bottom

of each leg can be used to anchor the unit.

4.3 Locating the Remote Heat Exchanger

The remote heat exchanger must be located in an area that

will ensure free air ﬂ ow into and out of the heat exchanger plus

adequate service access clearance. Short circuiting of the air

ﬂ ow or the intake of warmer air from another unit will seriously

degrade the performance of the air cooled heat exchanger.

Do not locate the heat exchanger in a location that is

bordered by tall obstructions (i.e. higher than 10 feet) on no

more than two sides. See ﬁ gure at right for minimum clearance

from obstructions and between units. With proper clearance on

all sides, two units can be placed at least 48 inches apart.
