that may apply.

Consider type of water source. Ensure there is an
adequate supply of water at temperature of 60 F
to 90 F with minimum pressure of 20 psig.
Provide sufficient space for water piping, con­
densate drain, wiring and servicing unit. See
Fig. 1. (Units installed in confined areas may
have to be removed for major servicing such
as compressor or fan motor replacement.)
Provide a minimum 6-in. clearance between
return air filter and adjacent wall.
Mount unit on floor or solid platform. (The
50HQ units can be suspended from ceiling.

especially when unit is located in a closet or
utility room having louvered doors, the follow­
ing acoustical treatment is recommended:
place an isolation pad under unit. Pad must be
same size as unit base. Construct a 1-in. fiberglass
