Peterbilt 379 Installation Guidelines

LOCATING THE COMPONENTS

The Dometic remote auxiliary air conditioning system consists of two basic components: an outside condensing unit, which contains the condenser and an exhaust fan, and an inside unit, which contains the compressor, heater, evaporator and blower (CHEB). The two units are connected by precharged refrigerant lines with quick-connect fittings.

Determine where best to install the CHEB (Fig. 1). Refer to the manual that came with the CHEB for more information. Keep in mind that the driver’s side luggage box is probably one of the most used storage areas, so for your ongoing storage convenience, consider the passenger's side luggage box, then the center storage area, and lastly the driver’s side box for CHEB installation. Use the CHEB template to determine the best place to mount the unit.

The Dometic condenser may be installed either under or behind the sleeper (Figs. 2a-2b).

IMPORTANT!

Refer to the Dometic installation manual for details on installing and connecting the CHEB and condensing unit.
