Ductwork Considerations

Install all air ducts according to the National Fire Protection Association standards for the “Installation of Air Conditioning andVentilation Systems other than ResidenceType (NFPA 90A) and ResidenceType Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems (NFPA 90B).

Make duct connections with a flexible material such as heavy canvas. If a fire hazard exists,Trane recommends using Flexweave 1000, type FW30 or equiva- lent canvas. Use three inches for the return duct and three inches for the discharge duct. Keep the material loose to absorb unit vibration.

Run the ductwork as far as possible without changing size or direction. Do not make abrupt turns or transitions near the unit due to increased noise and excessive static losses. Use elbows with splitters or turning vanes to minimize static losses.

Poorly constructed turning vanes may cause airflow generated noise. Check total external static pressures against fan characteristics to be sure the required airflow is available throughout the ductwork.

Direct louvers up and down for condens- ers air discharge and intake so as to not short circuit condenser air. Pitch outdoor ducts away from unit to protect unit from rain and snow entering with condenser air. Auxiliary louvers and hoods may be required for this purpose. Attach ducts to unit with canvas section duct connectors or other suitable noise and vibration absorbing devices.

WARNING

Hazardous voltage! Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/ tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
