Guidelines for Vector Compact |
| When
choosing the proper model Vector Compact self-contained unit,
primary consideration should be given to calculated BTU loads and
available power supply. Special consideration should be given in
determining the reverse cycle heating capacities under anticipated
conditions. Reverse cycle operations affected by the seawater
temperature. As it decreases, the units heat transfer capacity
also decreases and proportionately affects the output of warm air.
It is not recommended that the unit be operated in the heat cycle
with water temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The location
of the Vector Compact self-contained unit should be dry and
accessible for service. Placement of the unit should be adjacent
to a low return air access from the area to be conditioned. The
unit should be installed with the proper fasteners and secured to
horizontal surface sufficient for the unit weight and torsional
load from the vessel's movement. Never install your air
conditioner air handler in bilge or engine room areas. Insure that
the selected location is sealed from direct access to bilge and/or
engine room vapors. Do not terminate condensate drain lines within
four (4) feet of any outlet of engine or generator exhaust
systems, nor in a compartment housing an engine or generator, nor
in a bilge (vapors can travel up the drain line), unless the drain
is connected properly to a sealed condensate or shower sump pump.
Failure to comply may allow bilge or engine room vapors to mix
with the air conditioners return air and contaminate living areas. |
Grilles should be sized according to
Marine Air design standards. Install the return air grilles low
and supply air grilles high. Return air grilles must have
removable filters installed on the unit. Ducting should be sized
according to unit specifications. All ducting should be installed
to be as smooth, straight and taut as possible, avoiding any
unnecessary bends or loops. Once ducting runs are positioned
properly they should be securely fastened to avoid shifting due to
motion of the vessel. Plastic vacuum-formed and insulated aluminum
transition boxes are available for proper air flow direction into
any cabin area. Ducting should be properly secured to these
transition boxes to prevent air flow leakage. Built-in plenums of
chases must be sized properly, completely sealed and insulated.
Reinforced marine grade hose must be used for the seawater
circuit. All fittings must be double hose clamped. The hose should
be routed upward from the thru-hull intake, sea cock, strainer and
pump, to the condensing unit to prevent air locks in the
centrifugal sea water pump. Circuit breakers and wire gauge must
be sized according to marine design standards. Only standards
tinned copper wire should be used. All equipment should be
properly grounded. In keeping with regulations set forth by the
EPA, only certified technicians should perform service on, or make
adjustments to, the refrigerant circuit. |

Systems' specifications and design as outlined herein are subject to
