4.1 Installation advices
Unit placement
The MQL/MQH water chillers are cooled by air.
Thereby, they must be installed in the open air, in
an area where the flow of air to and from the con-
denser coil must not be limited. A space restriction,
which reduces the air flow, will decrease the cool-
ing capacity, increase the power input and, in
some cases, prevent the unit from operating
because of an excess of condensation pressure.
The MQL/MQH water chillers are equipped with
propeller type condenser fan. Therefore, they will
not operate with ductwork on the fan outlet.
In case of installation in an area subject to be hit by
strong wind, direct effect of the wind on the dis-
charge surface of the fan should be avoided.
Care should be taken, at the time of installation, to
leave enough clearances around the unit for mainte-
nance works.
The minimum clearances are shown on picture 2
and must be considered, both to ensure that the unit
operates correctly and to allow easy access.

MQL
The units should be installed on a flat and hard,
preferably concrete base.
When fixing the unit, a slope of 1 cm/m is recom-
mended to allow draining of rain water.
Units MQL/MQH 4 and 6 cannot be
installed with advanced inclination to 10°.
For reverse cycle models, if the outdoor temperature
is likely to fall below +1 °C, provide a system to
prevent the condensates from freezing (e.g. heating
cord).
For installation in difficult climates, temperatures
below 0 °C, snow or humidity, it is recommended
to elevate the unit about 20 cm above the floor.
The plastic grille is used to protect the
operators from injury risks on heat
exchanger at the time of handling and
installation.
However, risks of clogging by freeze or
hoar frost can be occured on reverse cycle
units installed in cold or mountainous
regions and exposed to the elements.
To prevent all risks, a shelter is to be pro-
vided or simply remove the protective
grille.
