1-PRESENTATION AND OPERATION

This device is a mobile air conditioner for cooling demountable structures such as tents with a cooling capacity from 7

kW to 34 kW, depending of the model.

When the relative humidity of the air inlet is high, the air can be cooled below its dew point and humidity is then con-

densed to water. This process requires a certain amount of latent cooling but allows a dehumidification process, which is

an important factor in comfort for the user.

The operating range is between 20 and 45 ° C and is controlled by the HP / LP pressure. The drop in air temperature

depends on the conditions of entry (humidity).

The device are made with two compartment, isolated from each other. Its operation is based on a cooling circuit broken

down by two groups motorcycle fans.

The side of the device on which connect the ducts contain the evaporator. The fan sucks the warm indoor air, cool this

air through the exchanger and return it cold in the tent.

The opposite side contain the condenser. The fan draws in ambient outside air, it cross through the exchanger and re-

turns it outward.

The cooling system is filled with refrigerant R410a. This circuit is completely waterproof and allows the unit to operate in

areas with a maximum ambient temperature of +45 ° C.

At high ambient temperatures (above 45 ° C), the cooling of the condenser air flow is too low and a high pressure stops

the HP switch. The pressure switches HP / BP will reset automatically after a few minutes.

At an ambient temperature below 20 ° C, moisture in the airflow can form ice on the evaporator. To avoid this, the pres-

sure switch cuts the low pressure in the system. If the ambient temperature is too low, the BP activation causes frequent

starting and stopping of the compressor. This process can damage the compressor and should be avoided by always

using the product within the specified temperature range. See "Specifications".

2 GENERAL RULES FOR INSTALLATION

The installation configuration is an important factor in improving the performance and reliability of the air con-

ditioner. There are different ways to place the devices, here we give you some important recommendations.

2-1 Ducts

CAUTION: The ducts used are the same diameter as the connections of units. The junction between the diffe-

rent lengths must be watertight. The total length of the circuit should not exceed 6 meters per circuit (return

and supply). For longer length, please contact us.

Always use the least possible sheath. In general, think that every air duct 3m isolated changes the tempera-

ture inside the pipe by 5 ° C.

The sheaths result in a loss that's why we must always put straight, Fig.1. In case of deviation, avoiding signifi-

cant bends (bends> 45 °), Fig.2, prefer them large curves, fig.3.

Place the air distribution duct cooled as close to the ceiling, the cold air will descend slowly to the ground and

will be returned to the air conditioner through the air duct placed at the lowest, Fig.1.

2-2 Effect of the sun

The heating, due to solar effect reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner, heat builds up in the ducts and in

the tents it's greenhouse effect. We recommend installing a sunshade to cover the air conditioning, ducts and

the tent. It also becomes more effective if using panels/insulated coatings in the tent.

Fig.1

Fig.3Fig.2

Fig.1

2-3 Airflow

To cool the air effectively, the air sent to the air conditioner must be the lowest possible. If the ambient tempe-

rature is lower than outside temperature, it is more efficient to re-circulate the air from the tent. To do this, con-

nect the insulated ducts for blowing and sucking of air, between the tent and the air conditioner, fig.4.

If the temperature inside the tent is higher than the outside temperature, it may be advantageous to use the

device without air intake duct, fig.5. Attention in this case you risk introducing dust or increase pressure in the

tent.

2-4 Various

-Keep doors and openings of the tent/room closed when using the air conditioner.

-Avoid all heat generating sources in the air conditioned room.

-Do not cover, fig.6, or obstruct the rear of the air conditioner, fig.7. Keep a free and clear area for a good air

circulation allowing the correct operation of the conditioner, fig.8 & 9.

-If the air does not circulate well, the unit switches to safety. Poor repeated use causes irreversible damage.

-Always ensure that the exhaust ducts, fig.10, or air intake, fig.11, is not blocked or obstructed even partially.

If the air circulation is prevented the unit switches to safety. Poor repeated use causes irreversible damage.

-Accumulation of water produced by condensation, fig.12, disrupt the use of the

air conditioner, so we recommend that you raise the unit on a pallet for example,

or to evacuate the condensate to a remote area of the air conditioner.
