Carrier 37HS Air Conditioner User Manual


 
EVALUATE THE THROW OF MODULINE UNITS IN
POSSIBLE LOCATIONS Check minimum throw for
2-way blow diffuser near walls and all one-way blow
diffusers.
Exceeding maximum throw is almost never a problem. A
2-way blow unit covers 50 ft at nominal cfm.
In perimeter rooms, if 2-way blow units are off center,
favor the exterior wall if possible.
Generally, one-way blow diffusers should blow away from
the nearest wall.
Air throw data in Tables 4 and 5 for the Moduline air
terminals provides the suggested minimum and maximum
coverages the units can handle in a typical installation while
maintaining the desired room conditions.
The optimum air throw values given in the table are dis-
tances from the unit centerline to the outside wall or nearest
obstruction (wall, light fixture, or opposing air stream).
When given a choice, always put diffusers in line with each
other, not blowing at each other. If diffusers must be placed
so they are blowing at each other, the minimum throw must
be checked. Do not put units closer together than minimum
allows. Down-drafts caused by going below minimum will
bother room occupants. (Fig. 16)
Moduline units can be placed fairly close to a wall or
partition. This is because the down-draft follows the wall
(stays close to the wall) and doesn’t bother the room occu-
pant. If furniture is placed against the wall near a Moduline
unit, it causes the air to be deflected causing drafts. The prob-
lem can often be solved by moving the furniture 6 in. or so
away from the wall.

NOTES:
1. Minimum air throw refersto the distance from the diffuser where the air ve-
locityis 150fpm. Inmaximumair throw,this velocityhas droppedto 50rpm.
2. Datais based on anarea with a9-ft ceiling. For higherceilings, values may
be reduced by one foot for each foot of height increase. For specific instal-
lations, minimum values can be reduced if properly qualified. Values are
dependent on cfm only and are not affected by duct pressure.
